Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has blasted his Republican counterpart Mitch McConnell for his decision to coordinate with White House counsel on the looming Senate impeachment trial, saying the Kentucky Republican is 'totally out of line.'

Washington Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday blasted his Republican counterpart Mitch McConnell for his decision to coordinate with White House counsel on the looming Senate impeachment trial, saying the Kentucky Republican is"totally out of line."

As the House prepares to vote this week on two articles of impeachment, Schumer has been leading Democratic efforts to shape how the expected Senate trial will play out. But already, several leading Senate Republicans, including Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, have publicly declared their intention to acquit Trump, regardless of whatever evidence is presented.

Schumer, you need to retire, or let us vote you out. your corruptness along with your democrats, is killing America.

Hey Schumer, Comey was complicit in the illegal spying of a duly elected president. comey could have stopped it, but looked the other way and kept signing fisa warrants for no ligitimate reason. This is the truth!

Moscow Mitch is a very corrupt politician. He needs too be voted out. He’s an Embarrassment for all of my fellow Kentuckians!!!!👎🏽scumbag!!!!

Ya all just literally repeated the same story lol

Impeach McConnell for breaking constitution rules.

The same Chuck Schumer opposed to impeach Bill Clinton

Funny he didn't think anything was put of line when Dems railroaded the GOP in the shampeachment hearings. Oddly quiet.

I thought so too.

Who cares?

I'm loving this. After the total media silence on the House hearing being 100% partisan, now they're all screaming about not getting a 'fair' trial in the Senate. They all know that this impeachment is a sham and can't stand up to scrutiny. It's not going to go well for Dems.

Get him

And it won’t pass senate so again, who cares. Chuck Schumer kicks some ass 👍👍 Mitch McConnell will be voted out in 2020 he's a joke They deserve to be treated just as Schiff treated the Republicans. Tough shit. No witnesses.
