Mitch McConnell working with Trump

He already announced he was going to work with the Trump administration during the impeachment trial, which should be grounds for him to be replaced as Senate majority leader.  Now he's helping to keep the American public in the dark.

Reports of a planned crackdown on media access to the upcoming Senate impeachment trial of President Trump is drawing fierce criticism from members of the press.

The Standing Committee of Correspondents, a group of reporters who represent and advocate for credentialed media in the Senate daily press gallery, sent a forceful letter Tuesday to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), decrying the possible restrictions.

Which will only serve to make him proud of his ability to piss them off.

The restrictions, which the committee said potentially include confining reporters to a single press pen on the second floor of the Senate, threaten to curtail reporters' access to senators during a historic impeachment trial.

The gallery committee said they had tried to work with the Rules Committee and the Senate's sergeant-at-arms, but every suggestion they made was rejected “without an explanation of how the restrictions contribute to safety rather than simply limit coverage of the trial.”

Because there isn't one.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
