WASHINGTON – After a rancorous, bitterly partisan face-off in the Democratic-led House over the impeachment of President Donald Trump, the focus is now on the GOP-controlled Senate where leaders are making plans for a trial.After the House approved two articles of impeachment Wednesday night against Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was non-committal about when she would send them over to the Senate, the next step in the process.
The trial is likely to begin in January, when the Senate returns from the holiday recess, but a date hasn't been set. Estimates for the length of the trial range from two weeks to six weeks, depending on whether senators simply hear oral arguments or receive evidence from documents and witnesses. Republicans control the chamber with a 53-47 majority, and if they stick together, they could dictate a brief trial, as some leaders have sought. But if as few as four Republicans join Democrats, they could insist on calling witnesses.
on Dec. 12. “There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this, to the extent that we can.” “I expect to have support from Democrats and Republicans because the argument is so strong,” Schumer said Monday. “The president's counsel may or may not decide they want to have witnesses,” McConnell said. “We all know how this is going to end. There is no chance the president is going to be removed from office.”

1.Democrats screamed they would impeach the minute they lost. 2. Democrats realized they were f**ked for 2020 3. Democrats impeached hoping to stay relevant. You're welcome.
That's because Republicans choose party over Constitution and Country.
4 more years of Trump Thanks a lot.
The press and the republicans need to realize that to protect our democracy and rule of law trump MUST be removed from office.
