.MaddowBlog: Those who wanted to remove Clinton from office, but not Trump.

Republican senators who voted to convict Clinton, but acquit Trump: Wyoming’s Mike Enzi, Iowa’s Chuck Grassley, Oklahoma’s James Inhofe, Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell, Kansas’ Pat Roberts, Mississippi’s Roger Wicker Naturally, it’s that first group that’s of the most interest.
