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."

This man is a dumpster fire.
Painter joins the Trump’s a racist crowd. Yawn.
They were damn sure adored here partner
Lots of great freepers fell on that sword
W had a lot of people fooled. He was a decent Governor of Texas but has been proven a disaster as President.
Painter is a fool and must be treated as such. Haul his ass before a Senate committee and grill him till he can’t seat down.
Expect to see the coup involve the Bush since Bush Sr was CIA.
Bush Clintons no difference we can now see

@RWPUSA
Mitt Romney was right in 2016 when he said that @realDonaldTrump is a fraud.
He is wrong now about obstruction of justice. The clear and convincing evidence to support impeaching Trump for obstruction of justice is set forth in the Mueller Report.
