Sign the petition: Mitch McConnell must recuse himself from Trump impeachment trial

Friend, [sign the petition: Mitch McConnell must recuse himself from Trump impeachment trial. He cannot be a juror AND strategize with the defense.]( [Sign the petition]( As Donald Trump's impeachment moves to the Senate for a trial, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is doing all he can to guarantee Trump will be acquitted. "Everything I do during this, I'm coordinating with White House Counsel," said [McConnell on Fox News](. "There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this." [Sign if you agree: #MoscowMitch and his collusion with Trump is outrageous. He must recuse himself in any Senate impeachment trial.]( [Sign the petition]( Even before a House vote on impeachment, McConnell and Trump's attorneys have met behind closed doors to strategize how the trial will be conducted. But as a U.S. Senator, McConnell will be a juror in the upcoming trial. Under any normal circumstance, it is inappropriate for a juror to strategize with the defendant before trial. This almost guarantees a rigged outcome. McConnell must recuse himself from participating in the Senate trial. Rep. Val Demmings (D-FL), who sits on both the House Intelligence & Judiciary Committees, has [called on McConnell]( to recuse himself. More congressional leaders must do the same.
