Moscow Mitch performs a logically acrobatic but slow motion tap dance in front of the empty seats.
Totally expected and righteously twisted enough for the R's to swallow whole. He begins with the downing of the airliner, in itself is muddy water, but the U.S. either shares blame for the loss of life or it doesn't. I come down on the side that the U. S. didn't shoot down the plane so we share no blame, we should also avoid taking credit for any repercussions as a result of Iranian actions. The protests on the streets were in existence before the death of Suleimani and continued after his death. If the attack on the Iranian general was in support of the protesters on the street then the president could have hinted as much, would have been a better option than an unexplained, vague imminent danger, a whole bunch better than the political benefit of a few Senators. It's too late to change the story, although they may try.
Note the date.

The rest is semi-clean fun for the Rs. Ds are bad and the Senate (Mitch) is in control and all is good. No mention of the president stonewalling House efforts to gain information or leaving it up to the Senate to call a witness or two during a trial. The House impeachment case is incomplete and will remain that way, thus sayeth the Mitch.
And so it goes.
