George W. Bush former lawyer: McConnell treating impeachment like 'an all-white jury for a Klansman trial'
Walk Examiner ^ | 12-27-2019 | John Gage

Posted on 12/27/2019 6:43:36 PM PST by tcrlaf

Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, tore into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell over his plans for the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump.

"The oath of loyalty is to the United States of America, not to Donald Trump. These senators, Democrats and Republicans, have an obligation to hear the facts, to hear witnesses, and make a decision," Painter said Thursday on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. "And for Mitch McConnell to say he’s working with the White House, coordinating with the defendant in this trial before the trial has even begun, is atrocious. He may think he’s a judge impaneling an all-white jury for a Klansman trial in Mississippi in 1965. That’s not the kind of trial we have."

Moscow Mitch is making a fool of himself trying to fix the impeachment trial.
Pathetic.

I am happy to debate ⁦@JesseBWatters⁩ and/or ⁦@RickSantorum⁩ any place anywhere on this impeachment trial or on anything else but they’re both chicken.

The Bush’s and their allies, like a bad cold, refuse to go away. W, Bill is my brother from another mother and, Michelle Obama is my friend Bush.

Notice, these Bushies all make appearances on CNN and MSNBC? Coincidence? Not!

Mine, too. I’m on a daily blood pressure pill to combat that sort of thing.

Seriously, this plays into the soiled hands of the Dems who are deliberately pushing “white supremacy”, “white racism” and “toxic masculinity” as their own “silent dog whistle” strategy to rile up persons of color to attack whites. Sick stuff.

There is nothing white racist about President Trump. He went out of his way when first elected to gather black leaders at the White House to listen to their concerns and make compromises. 90% ridiculed that and flatly refused to go (Al Green and Maxine Waters are more to their liking).

He did not have to be slandered by a Bushie still smarting over the somnolent Jeb Bush campaign failures.

Yes because the MSM can't book Romney for all panels or it would get boring (or even more boring than already). Even Don Lemon's loyal mother would turn off the TV.

I wonder if this Bush clown ever opined on the ethics of starting a war over non-existent weapons of mass destruction?

This is what we were warned against. You hear things like this that use to just pass over but now you realize we at war with the deep state. DC needs to be razed.

He’s a Democrat. The Turtle should care about Painter’s opinion, why exactly?

The picture is rather suggestive and I could say many negative things that correlate with your observation, but I will refrain myself. 8>)

What a treasonous POS. Mitch is doing exactly what was done with Clinton. I believe the rules got 100-0 approval at the time. Mitch is a moderate in every sense and has given Trump the bare minimum support. He has been good with judges maybe that is what has little puke so upset. He supposedly a lawyer.
