House Dems are upset that their flimsy case against the president may not get the attention they think it deserves in the Senate. They have all heard that McConnell thinks they have no case, and they hate that he is right. So some House Dems are demanding that Mitch McConnel recuse himself, now that he has claimed that he is not an impartial juror.
“Democrats, increasingly desperate to either avoid a Senate trial altogether or to conform the Senate trial to their whims and needs, are now pressuring Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who will run operations once the impeachment enters a Senate trial phase, to “recuse†himself because he cannot be an “impartial juror.â€
Dem Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) told CNN late Tuesday that she and other Democrats are preparing to request that McConnell step down from his role overseeing the Senate trial or Democrats will be forced to declare a “mistrial,†abandon the impeachment process, and re-impeach the President when the opportunity presents itself again.
