The president is publicly deferring to Senate Republicans on impeachment, but privately harboring a desire to create a flashy, testimony-filled trial

Publicly, President Donald Trump has deferred to a Senate Republican plan to hold an impeachment trial with as few surprises — and witnesses — as possible.

Trump’s desire to fight — a constant inclination — is at odds with Senate Republican leaders, who are working to convince him that a quick trial with no witnesses will suffice. Even some White House aides have been trying to explain the benefits of a speedy, no-frills process. In interviews, though, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell insists he is working in lockstep with the White House on shaping the impeachment trial.

"The reason the Democrats don’t want to submit the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate is that they don’t want corrupt politician Adam Shifty Schiff to testify under oath, nor do they want the Whistleblower, the missing second Whistleblower, the informer, the Bidens, to testify!" he tweeted.

The Senate has not yet set rules for its trial, which is likely to take place in January, after lawmakers return from their holiday recess. It takes only a simple majority of senators to approve a rules package, which would determine whether witnesses will be called.

Democrats witnesses are not real witnesses either !! They are person who have hearsay knowledge or they have Anti Trump opinions. Leftists staff and professors only.

So Creepy Joe Biden and his side kick Hunter Biden walk away clean!! America has finally become a one way street! If you don’t believe the Democratic’s. Your a piece of chit ! Democratic’s put your fighting pants on cause you are full of chit

Trump floating trails balloons, saying crazy scenarios out loud. Remember, Trump has no advisers, just Trump Corp henchman, except Ivanka and his gut!

JackassInChief! Too stupid to understand how STUPID he is. This isn't 'The Apprentice', Bozo, and if it were, you'd be FIRED. If and when Pompeo, Mulvaney, Bolton, McGahn and others are ever made to tell the truth, removal from office will be the least of your worries.

He realizes his trial won’t be a game show, right?!? There is nothing behind door number 3 that will take his impeachment go away...🤔🤔🤔🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Congress is the enemy of the people.

Nancy scuppered that. The trial process will be agreed by both sides upfront or she'll sit on the impeachment throughout the 2020 election year.

The problem with a trial is: Trump and his hoodlums would be under oath.

The only witnesses we should see from Trump are the ones he's blocking from testifying.

IMPOTUS
