As the Supreme Court weighs whetherDonald Trump is shielded from prosecution for acts committed while president, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he opposes Trump’s view of absolute immunity.
They needed to press him in a different way:
"During the Trump impeachment, you said that he could still be held accountable in a court of law, his lawyers are trying to argue that only stands if he were impeached and convicted first.
If the Supreme Court validates that opinion, would you change your mind and vote to convict?"
That wouldn’t really matter. He’ll do and say whatever suits him politically at the moment.
Like when he held up Garland’s Supreme Court nomination for a year and then jammed Barrett through while ballots were being collected.
