A short diary to note the facts. A Presidential Impeachment trial in the Senate, alone among Impeachment trials, is presided over by the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. John Roberts, not Mitch McConnell, would preside over a trial in which House Managers present evidence against the corrupt, treasonous President.
McConnell’s role is the same as every other Senator, he is one member of the jury and that is all.
I have read here , elsewhere, and even watched on Bill Maher how Mitch McConnell would run the trial in the Senate and therefore it is pointless for the House to impeach. This is simply false. Read the Rules.
Enough excuses, impeach, present the case, and let the chips fall where they may. Do not relieve GOP Senators, particularly those up for re-election in 2020, of having to take a very public position on this ongoing treason.
