Trump and McConnell don’t want to go that route. They want a trial so he can be cleanly acquitted.
McConnell is only interested in protecting blue state Senate GOPers up in 2020. He couldn’t care less about POTUS.
McConnell’s GOP senate hasn’t lifted a finger to gather a single fact on the CIA backed coup currently raging in the executive branch of a GOP POTUS. He’s had 3 months and done exactly nothing. Expecting he will do any more than the minimum required on impeachment is a fools errand.
