McConnell says impeachment trial to begin around 'time the bowl games end'

The Senate will not begin an impeachment trial against President Donald Trump until after the new year, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday, predicting the trial will begin"right around the time the bowl games end."

The college football season ends after the national championship game on January 13, but an aide to McConnell said he was referring to games being played on January 1. Democrats in the House announced two articles of impeachment against Trump earlier on Tuesday, and Democratic leaders plan to hold a floor vote on the matter by Christmas.

Lol as with everything in this country, football is priority! I'm shocked we are not making the impeachment dependent on the outcome of a 'bowl game'.

Yep, tie up those senators running right up to election!

All of this is a joke to him. GOP trying for their best sound bites. That’s how history will capture them.

Just the way McConnell looks at Trump is scary . He is dedicated and loyal to the president not the people who election him.

Football 🏈 before politics. Quite understandable.

There will be no House vote. It’s just a tax payer funded drive by smear job by Schifty.

yes, because everyone cares about college football

Like the Super Bowl is more important than our national security?!!

News media is destroying our freedom

LindseyGrahamSC said it would be dead on arrival when it hit the senate

McConnell thinking about what Nancy Pelosi just did to Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, & Corey Booker's POTUS campaigning.

You guys are going to pay for what you are doing to our president

Remember: Democrats have tried to impeach EVERY elected GOP president since Eisenhower. Every. Single. One. It’s part of Democrat DNA This coop will die once the GOP controlled senate votes.

Then the Democrats should wait until mid January and then vote on the two articles of impeachment to delay this out for months. It would drive Trump absolutely nuts. Then Senate can’t act until they receive the articles.

They haven’t received good TV ratings yet on impeachment so no way they’ll be able to compete with bowl games

Anything to hide it away from the public .

Yeah, keep kissing his ass IF that feels you bigger and better.

Half of the Super Bowl stadium should take a knee in protest to dr obstruction.

Huge fan of your music. I was wondering if you could help my good friend out. He's going through some and wondering if you could donate

Should show it on snl nbcsnl

And what a complete waste of time! Democrats hate America and will do whatever they can to destroy our great nation!

So like, 3 days?

How laughable that the nfl and tv stations are in cahoots and not blocking bowl games Unbelievable

It sucks Trey Gowdy left politics. He would have been fantastic for this. I don’t have faith in McConnel, he could find his own way out of a paper bag.

Oh, oh, boel games are more important than national security, right, that makes sense ?!?!?

Lol. Savage

Rural America is most distracted during the NCAA football season finale.

How come CNN isn't reporting this?

Makes total sense. You don't want to rush to impeach a president who you believe is a threat to our country to soon. Fake news fake Congress and the cheese on my pizza I just got is fake to. I think I'll eat some popcorn. Lol

I hope they remember that republicans do not make up half of America. They should not be so willing to ignore the real will of the people. This type of blatant misuse of power cannot be allowed. Listen to America not just those who love trump. Country over party. Do your job.

Senate likely to take up impeachment trial after holiday recess, McConnell saysSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell confirmed on Tuesday that a potential impeachment trial in the Senate will take place right after the New Year, once senators return from a holiday recess. Live witnesses? As opposed to dead ones? Impeach Chump's azz in the House--and don't send it to the Senate. They are crooked and corrupt and will only cover up his crimes. The only question is... will Republicans investigate or have a sham trial designed to exonerate Trump no matter what Trump did? My guess, McConnell is planning a sham trial, with no respect for the US Constitution.
