All said and thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo. Welcome to prime time. We are living history,

my friends. President Trump is now on trial. The Senate took an oath to do its impartial best today.

The question is, can they honor that oath if they don't have witnesses and examine the record of fact?

Let's take a look tonight at what they may try to avoid the damning details

offered by Trump co-member Lev Harness.

What do you say? Let's get at.

All right, for better or worse, today it begins.

Senators took an oath swearing to God to do their best to be impartial in trying the case against Trump.

I'm sad to say that for many that oath is suspect already and for several reasons.

The leader of the right McConnell sees himself as

there to exonerate the president. He said as much, in fact, he went further, negating the oath

before he took it. Remember this. I'm not an impartial juror. This is a political process.

But today he took an oath saying exactly

that. He raised his hand to God. I wonder if his fingers were crossed when he took that oath.

You know what? I bet you they probably weren't. You know why? He was fine telling you to your face

that he is not impartial. There is no shame in Trump Co's game, no matter how shameful

their words and deeds. They want you to know they don't care about anything but staying on

message. That's why today was such a perfect example with this new senator. You can't see this enough.

Senator McSally, should the Senate consider new evidence as part of the impeachment trial?

Man, if you're a liberal hack, I'm not talking to you. You're not going to comment.

Senator McSally, veteran, amazing record of service, makes this stunt that much more pathetic.

Did she really swap all that good faith for fealty to Trump, someone she hasn't even backed in the past?
