Democrats owe a debt to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Yes, you read that right.

The fear was that Trump would inevitably tout acquittal in the Senate as vindication. He’d say that impeachment was, to use a word invoked over and over by his hapless lawyer Pat Cipollone on the Senate floor (because he had little of substance to say), “ridiculous.”

But #MidnightMitch, as the Senate leader was labeled by his Twitter critics, rode to the rescue. By working with Trump to rig the trial by admitting as little evidence as possible, McConnell robbed the proceeding of any legitimacy as a fair adjudication of Trump’s behavior.

1. Making those 4 Senators the pivot point is genius

I thought this was part of the point other than exposing how incredibly corrupt the Trump mis-Administration is.
