Bob Bauer Takes Down Mitch McConnell's Argument re Impeachment

A thoughtful lawyer's brief that deconstructs McConnell's arguments against Trump's removal from office brink-by-brick. McConnell is the epitome of hypocrisy and double-talk, but he usually doesn't have to enter into an arena that includes knowledgeable folks who understand legal process and argument. Here he encounters such a response--and he loses, bigly.
N.B. This includes a rejection of the argument of "no crime, no foul" so often claimed by Trump's defenders.
