Here's what it looks like when you're complicit in the cover-up of a crime: Asked if she thought Donald Trump should talk about impeachment in his upcoming State of the Union address on Tuesday, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst offered curtly, "I don't."
Other Republican senators joined in Ernst's What are you, crazy? reaction, according to CNN’s Manu Raju. “If I was writing his speech I wouldn't include it," responded Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota. Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana also counseled against it: “Personally, I’d advise him not to.” Nothing screams guilty conscience like trying to hide your paw prints at the scene of the crime.

It's so telling that Senate Republicans are desperate for Trump to shut up about the impeachment that they have so eagerly helped him shut down. If they felt even remotely good about their actions, they'd be fine with him talking it up. Instead, Senate Republicans know that they have cheated America out of a fair trial and airing of the facts, and they'd rather Trump didn't remind the country of that.
What's hilarious is that Trump will almost surely defy their counsel. It's hard to imagine that the orange menace in the Oval Office will have the discipline to steer clear of the topic regardless of what's on the teleprompter. It will likely be one of the Senate GOP's first of many brushes with You reap what you sow.
Sign the petition to Nancy Pelosi: Revoke Trump’s invitation to the State of the Union. The House must not be complicit in his corruption.
