Nadler scolds GOP senators: 'The Senate is on trial'

When the impeachment proceedings against President Trump begin again next week, he won't be the only one facing scrutiny, Rep. Jerry Nadler said.

"The Senate is on trial as well as the president," Nadler said during a Wednesday press conference. "Does the Senate conduct a trial according to the Constitution to vindicate the Republic, or does the Senate participate in the president’s crimes by covering them up?”

"The emphasis is on litigators and on making the strongest possible case to the American people," the speaker said.

Nadler, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called into questioned the integrity of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has indicated the chamber's majority will be in lockstep with the White House regarding Trump's impeachment.

"If the Senate doesn’t permit the introduction of all relevant witnesses and all of the documents that the House wants to introduce, because the House is the prosecutor here, then the Senate is engaging in an unconstitutional and disgusting cover-up," Nadler said.

I sincerely hope that this washed-up has-been gets the riot act read to him in no uncertain terms in the Senate.
