You can not convict a crime that did not happen! Sorry but another swing and miss!
If McConnell tries to keep the Senate trial secret also, you will know the fix is in. If it remains public, the Democratic Party - even with a captive MSM - will have an unsolvable public relations problem, especially if the trial can be dragged on into Fall, 2020. If the GOP is actually working with Trump on this, they could be setting a glorious trap for their enemies.
