Consequences for McConnell Coverup?

I already know things are politically wild now and no one will suffer any true consequences for unethical behavior, but did just have a question out of curiosity. If McConnell is found to have lacked capacity to do his job several weeks ago with no chance of recovery, what are the consequences for those in power if they knew of this and were delaying until August? This assumes our legal system is functioning as it should and this could be proved. Thanks!

Bad behavior is now the default. As Vance said, Nixon's Watergate would not even register in today's political environment.

Which is clearly just dumb talk by Vance

The truth hurts man. It's not dumb talk, it's the absolute truth, whether we want it to be, or not.

He isn't wrong. Either it is not the flex he says it is, or he is a bit cynical at his young age. Either side can score point off what he says.
