'Do we want to retain our honor, our principle, and our moral authority?' That was the question Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell asked fellow senators as they weighed the articles of impeachment against former President Bill Clinton.
"If this is the 'launching point' for House Democrats' impeachment process, they've already overplayed their hand," the Senate Majority Leader said.
While, when it comes to Trump's impeachment inquiry, McConnell appears determined to keep his cards close to the vest, that was far from the case 20 years ago, when the Republican was given a chance to speak during closed-door deliberations on impeachment proceedings against former Democratic President Bill Clinton.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell talk to reporters in the Rose Garden following a lunch meeting at the White House October 16, 2017 in Washington, D.C. McConnell has said it is 'laughable' to think Trump deserves to be impeached.While a handful of Republicans had joined Democrats in deeming Clinton"not guilty," McConnell was not one of them, with the GOP senator finding the then-president guilty on both counts.
"The President would seek to win at any cost. If it meant lying to the American people. If it meant lying to his Cabinet," he continued."The name of the game was winning. Winning at any cost."
