BROKEN: Mitch McConnell Excuses Self to Take a Phone Call
Private Phone Call May Change Everything in Senate Trial
Washington, DC 1/27/2020
This afternoon, during testimony in the Senate impeachment trial, an aide approached majority leader McConnell and whispered in his ear. McConnell's face turned an even whiter shade of pale than usual. He rose and scampered out of the Senate chambers, shuffling his feet as fast as ever he could. Other Senators nearby looked somewhat puzzled, but then Ken Starr droned on some more and they resumed their naps.
Unbeknownst to Leader McConnell the phone he picked up was accidentally connected to another extension, which our reporter surreptitiously picked up to eavesdrop. Security in the Senate building is not what it should be, apparently. Here is a transcript of that call:
McConnell: "Yes, this is Mitch McConnell."
Unidentified man with accent: "Meetch. It is good to hear your voice once again. I have something to tell you."
McConnell: "Please go ahead, Sir."
Accent man: "Listen carefully. We are fyinished with Donwald Tramp. He is of no more use to us. Please see that he is let go."
McConnell: "You mean we should vote to remove him?"
Accent man: "Exyactly. Do it now. We will deal with Pyence from now on."
McConnell: "I don't know if I can do that at this point, Sir."
Accent man: "You wyill do it Meetch. You remember our discussion about that nyasty business you were involved with?"
McConnell: "Yes, Sir, I understand. I will take care of this as you ask. Is that all?"
Accent man: "It is nyever all, Meetch, but it will be enough for now. Gyood Bye!"
After hanging up the telephone, McConnell turned even more pale and walked toward the Senate Chamber, head hanging on his chest.
We will update this story as new information is available.

It was just a bit of levity.
We certainly need it with Trump’s defense team defending the indefensible right now.
Really.
