.MaddowBlog: On Pres. Trump impeachment trial, Senate Majority Leader McConnell suggests the fix is in.
If the U.S. House impeaches Donald Trump, as now appears likely, it would effectively serve as an indictment, which would be sent to the U.S. Senate for a trial. If “convicted” in the upper chamber by a two-thirds majority, the president would be removed from office.
Those were not, however, McConnell’s final thoughts on the matter. The Courier Journal in Louisville reported over the weekend on the Kentucky Republican’s latest message, published to Facebook, which suggests, as far as a presidential trial is concerned, McConnell wants his supporters to know the fix is in.
“But I need your help,” he adds, standing in front of a picture of an elephant. “Please contribute before the deadline.”
