Here is just one crystal clear example from less than a month ago. McConnell's constitutional duty requires him to take the following oath as part of the impeachment trial: "solemnly swear ... that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald J. Trump, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God." Here is a public statement he made recently: “I'm not an impartial juror,” McConnell said. “This is a political process. There is not anything judicial about it. Impeachment is a political decision . . . I'm not impartial about this at all.”
He will violate his oath of office to abide by and defend the constitution. He will violate the oath he takes as part of mandatory constitutional process in the senate. This is the last mechanism available to remove an existential threat to the country.
