On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Representative Karen Bass (D-CA) called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to recuse himself from the Senate’s impeachment trial.
Bass said, “The leader of the Senate has basically said he is in lockstep, and he is going to coordinate with the defendant. And so, if you can imagine going into a courtroom in a trial and the foreman of the jury says, well, I’m working with the person that’s being accused of the crime. And so, it’s completely inappropriate. McConnell should recuse himself. … How can a juror coordinate with the defendant? That is corrupt.”

What crime? This request is not usual, as if you have been paying attention the leftist and liberal Democrats want all Republicans to recuse themselves from politics!

Here we go again. Complaining about McConnell possibly holding the House demonrats very own Soviet-style investigation/impeachment justice. Only corrupt demonrats are allowed to do that. Besides, I don't care if the Senate follows the same practice. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Demonrats should all be removed from Congress and barred from it forever more. Hypocrites.

We will see on Wednesday how many of the Demonrats in the House standing for the Demonrat POTUS nomination and any of their open supporters will recuse themselves from voting for the impeachment of their most powerful GOP opponent. Not how many Demonarts ,mebers of Congress including Pelosi have already come out and said the ONLY purpose of the impeachment process is about excluding Trump from the 2020 election or at the very least tainting his candidacy by throwing as much "sh.t" at him hoping some will stick..

The Constitution allows the House and Senate to set their own rules. Those rules are not subject to checks and balances of the tother branches of goobernment or but the other branch of the Legislative branch. House makes its rules that are without a legal controlling authority except the House. Same for Senate. So Bass has no legal authority to change the Senate rules. Thus her opinion, and that is all it is, Smells like 3 day old bass. She can't go to the courts. She can't do a thing.

Too funny. And Nadler and Schiff were not bent in their efforts to destroy Trump at all costs.

I didn't hear your call for Pelosi to recuse herself, Mz Bass. Democrats are, without question, the most deranged people.

McConnell should float the idea of a closed trial in the basement of the Capital with the dems not allowed in. Then give them one witness, Lewandowski ! And tell them what questions they are allowed to ask.

If congress had decent people in it, they would consider tightening libel laws for congressional behavior as well. Smearing decent people with unproven allegations pulled out of their stinky place is not befitting from members of our congress. I don't care if it is said while congress is in session. If it isn't related to the task at hand, they need to be open for a libel suit. This has been a horrible show of the unprofessional behavior of Pelosi and all her democrat minions in the House.
McConnell is the leader of the Senate and I hope he tells you people to go pound sand. The recusal of Sessions is what got us to this point in the first place. If he had done his job and had been loyal to the man who appointed him, we would not be forced to endure the circus freak show that is the House.

McConnell recuse himself? I want Mitch the turtle to stick it to the minority democrats like Schiff and Nadler did to the Republicans in that Russian Gulag style impeachment hearing in the House. All McConnell did was inform the White House how he would conduct this scam in the Senate. I hope he shuts it all down with a vote right away. We don't need to give this scam any more attention. It was only given to the President to not go for a show trial which could go on for three or more weeks and besides I don't trust Justice 'Obamacare is a tax' Roberts.

Whenever I see Largemouth Bass being interviewed, I giggle like a school girl! She just looks so gopofy - sort of a cartoon character from the Cleveland Show!
I should be able to demonstrate self control when watching her, but I can't. Shame on me.

Shut it sista. We have all watch the hate filled political theater called the House impeachment party. No court of law would have allowed hearsay and personal opinion. And dare we say "racism"?

claiming about what would happen if shoes were on the other foot
