Richard Painter Likens McConnell’s Senate Trial to an ‘All White Jury for a Klansman Trial’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SANTORUM: “Well, yes, and no. If you go back to 1998/’99, Tom Daschle was hand in glove with the Democrats, with president Clinton. But at the same time, you know, he represented president Clinton’s interest. Said we didn’t want witnesses. We wanted to end this. Robert Byrd had a motion to dismiss after the initial testimony was given. So they were doing the administration’s work, but at the same time, they understood that they have their own interest as senators beyond the president, and number two, they also have the interests of the Senate. And I think what you heard Lisa Murkowski say, there is nothing as a loyal Republican and as a supporter of Donald Trump who could hear that and I think be at all worried. I think what Lisa is voicing what a lot of people are voicing which is we’re senators. We’re making this decision, not the administration. We’ll listen to the administration. We’ll give them their due. But in the end, we’re going to do what’s best for the United States Senate and for the country. And I think that’s what they’re going to ultimately do.”
