Rachel Maddow Warns That McConnell's Rules Allow Him To Cherry-Pick Evidence
.
More shiftiness.
The impeachment trial rules that Mitch McConnell is proposing will allow him to cherry-pick from the evidence to create a false impression of Trump innocence.
Maddow said:
One thing that truly surprised me, I didnt know exactly what to expect overall but I was surprised to see what appears to be no commitment to even review the evidence collected by the House when they conducted their investigation of this scandal and when they passed the articles of impeachment.
It made me wonder if theyre not committing at the outset to accept that evidence from the house, the way they did in the with Clinton impeachment, doesnt that open up Senator Mcconnell cherry-pick specific pieces of evidence. So when ambassador Gordon Sondland got a call from the president, they accept that, but then they wouldnt accept as evidence the part when Gordon Sondland said he didnt believe the president on that phone call and he believes there was a quid pro quo.
