And McConnell is like the Attorney General of the process. I don't doubt for a second that he will refuse to even hold an impeachment trial. We all know Republicans would never convict but McConnell could also refuse to even hear a case at all. If he does that then it ends giving Trump a win. It's way better to go full throttle and impeach Barr first to test the waters. Then very slowly start the impeachment process without actually holding a vote to impeach.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
