Anti-Trump RINO Makes Radical Comparison of Upcoming Senate Trial       2019-12-27 Source: TTN by: TTN Staff 

















                                         
CNN Guest Compares Mitch McConnell’s Senate Trial to an 'All White Jury for a Klansman Trial'

Former Bush White House ethics lawyer and Democrat candidate for the House of Representative Richard Painter recently made an appealing comparison of the upcoming Senate trial conducted by Mitch McConnell.

According to Town Hall:

CNN guest Richard Painter, who served as the White House's top ethics lawyer under George W. Bush, compared Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) plan for the upcoming impeachment trial to a judge making an all-white jury for a KKK trial.

"Well, I think the House Democrats did everything they could in view of what’s going on with the Trump Administration. They have gone to court to compel a lot of evidence being produced by the Trump Administration, and they’ve been fought every step of the way," Painter said on Thursday.

"But this is trial is going to take place in the Senate as a fair trial. It is presided over by the chief justice of the United States. This is a trial. It’s not a political game. The oath of loyalty is to the United States of America, not to Donald Trump," he said.

"And for Mitch McConnell to say he is working with the White House, coordinating with the defendant in this trial before the trial has even begun is atrocious. He may think he's a judge impaneling an all-white jury for a Klansman trial in Mississippi," he said. "That’s not the kind of trial we have."

Former GOP Senator Rick Santorum responded almost immediately condemning the comparison and calling Painter absurd.
