If the press had brains they'd be raking McConnell over the coals for delaying and then saying it is too late. LOOK what he just confessed to on the floor: Trump's guilt. He let him off cause HE prevented a trial before Trump left. THAT's about as reprehensible as it gets.

The impeachment trial brings home the painful reality.
Trump is only part of the problem.
The larger problem is that Trump is being shielded by a major political party that believes in his tactics and everything he stands for, and will defend literally anything he does.
