Senate Majority Leader McConnell says the House did something no other Congress has ever done — impeached a President who hasn't 'committed an actual crime'
McConnell will say this is "the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will speak on the Senate floor at 9:30 a.m. this morning. CNN’s has obtained excerpts from his prepared remarks from a GOP aide:Leader McConnell will call this “the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history."
He will say the two House-passed articles are “fundamentally unlike any articles that any prior House of Representatives has ever passed.” He will discuss Democrats’ backpedaling, which began “when Senator Schumer began searching for ways the Senate could step out of our proper role and try to fix House Democrats’ failures for them." He'll say it continued last night “when Speaker Pelosi suggested that House Democrats may be too afraid to even transmit their shoddy work product to the Senate."
The Leader will conclude by explaining how the Senate’s duty is to rise to this occasion. “The framers built the Senate to provide stability… To keep partisan passions from boiling over. Moments like this are why the United States Senate exists.”
