More shiftiness.

The impeachment trial rules that Mitch McConnell is proposing will allow him to cherry-pick from the evidence to create a false impression of Trump innocence.

Maddow said:

One thing that truly surprised me, I didn’t know exactly what to expect overall but I was surprised to see what appears to be no commitment to even review the evidence collected by the House when they conducted their investigation of this scandal and when they passed the articles of impeachment.

It made me wonder if they’re not committing at the outset to accept that evidence from the house, the way they did in the with Clinton impeachment, doesn’t that open up Senator Mcconnell cherry-pick specific pieces of evidence. So when ambassador Gordon Sondland got a call from the president, they accept that, but then they wouldn’t accept as evidence the part when Gordon Sondland said he didn’t believe the president on that phone call and he believes there was a quid pro quo.

1. Funnel to fake news (Murdoch), but alas . .

More damaging information is forthcoming and I doubt he can cherry pick that much. Majority of the American people knows what is up.

2. why elections have consequences

McConnel/GOP can makes rules where only 51% vote is needed to pass. It is what it is and we all need to make them pay in November's elections
