highlighting McConnell's whitewash attempts to force whatever actual facts presented to occur only in the wee hours of the morning.

Carl Bernstein sent social media users into overdrive after he slapped Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) with a taunting new nickname.
The famed Watergate reporter called McConnell Midnight Mitch during a panel discussion on CNNs Anderson Cooper 360° on Monday. It centered on McConnells proposed compressed schedule for President Donald Trumps imminent Senate impeachment trial over the Ukraine scandal that would see some testimony taking place in the early hours.
Said Bernstein:
The most important moment for the Republican Party since the censure of Joe McCarthy and the impeachment and resignation of Richard Nixon, in which Republicans became great heroes and patriots. Now, were looking at Midnight Mitch and the so-called worlds greatest deliberative body really embracing a cover-up that is there for all to see. Thats what this is about. Its about preventing information from becoming known and seen by the American public.
