Sen. Chuck Schumer: “I hope, pray and believe there’s a decent chance that four Republicans will join us — if they do we will have a fair trial'

he would not cut short the impeachment trial and has warned his colleagues against making any motions during the trial that could divide the caucus.

"My No. 1 goal is not let the speaker of the House become the majority leader of the Senate," Graham said. "If we don't get the articles this week, then we need to take matters into our own hands." House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union that the House does not plan to hold the articles of impeachment indefinitely, but that refraining from sending them over to the Senate has “flushed out where Mitch McConnell is coming from” and has “required senators to go on record.”

“If the president is acquitted through a sham trial, through a mock trial where there are no witnesses, where everything is covered up, that will not stand him well with the American people,” Schumer warned.

No that just means they are in as deep as you and your party. If they are smart they will do the right thing and vote no IMPEACHMENT. You cant IMPEACHMENT someone on hear say . If that was the case we would have a new government in the Senate and Congress.

Chuck “Willy Loman” Schumer has hoped and prayed for many things during his decades in office. Look at the nation and the world around us and ask yourself who this disturbed little man serves. foolsfakesandfrauds

Hope springs eternal!

Hey chuckie. You’ll also need permission from bottoms up Nancy who thinks she’s the boss of everyone

You now want fairnesa..amazing...where was your call for fairness to Nancy Pelosi

Moscow mitch won't allow a fair trial.

Democrats support Iran not America vote the bums out

Fuck chuck

Completely useless

Nothing will sway them. In the meantime, Trump has upped the ante and has raised the stakes. He has taken his show to the global stage for the world now reap the benefits of his activities and sort through the chaos.

If you had a fair trial in the house you wouldn't need one in the Senate

You had a fair trail in the Congress - your charge is hearsay. Want me to think differently, let the Congress do it right this time.

They won’t

Chucky Schumer Bloody Hypocrite democRats

You would have to be dam near brain dead to claim that Pelosi's Congressional investigation was in anyway 'fair'.

Don’t count on any of those fools to join in . They are all idiots just like Trump the Trader

RealSamMartin Senator Burr? Grassley?

SenSchumer It’s laughable that you would use the word “fair”. You and your co-conspirators are attempting to perpetrate a soft coup against a dutifully elected President. Don’t go down that road. Americans are watching you.

Better yet, hope, pray and believe Senate Democrats will stay united in this sham of a House impeachment. That’s the more troubling problem for your Party to address.

If they do, they can kiss their careers goodbye!! This is a fake sham so thats what they would be supporting and we all know it

How can there be any trial if the articles of impeachment don't contain actual crimes? Let alone high crimes.

If they do,they will be delt with in 2020,those who fall away from supporting our President,they will feel the Rath of us.....

Chuck Schumer 'Hopes and Prays?' Yeah, sure...

Not very likely Chucky Cheese!

The House failed to do their job. If Republicans vote for this they vote for something way bigger! The Houses ability to bind the Senate.

Only fair when things go the Dems way.

Kiss off Schumer

Funny how little concern Schumer had for the “fairness” of the process that got us here. Hypocrisy

Quite Agree except if wishes were horses.... ?!

SenSchumer can’t even get all TheDemocrats on board. 🖕

Not gonna happen.

Why would anyone follow this idiot?

SenSchumer will call QuidProQuoJoe & druggie son?

He’s sniffing glue. Get him some help.

Prince Khalid to meet with White House, US defense officials to demand protection against possible war. Iraq

Two people stand between America at peace and America at War.

This is showing their hand almost to the point of flipping the cards over face up. Impeachment was never about getting rid of Trump it is about an attempt to flip the Senate.

We can all hope.... but reality is, there really aren't any there. They have all been bought and paid for. ~George Orwell was Right~

They are surely looking at each other now and asking who will go first.

PartisanImpeachment

Bull

Schumer should instead do a head count of how many Democrats will vote against impeachment because the House vote has created precedence for a witch-hunt and overturning a landslide electoral victory with a fake impeachment!

Armtwisting by POTUS McConnell won't allow this to happen!

There’s nothing fair about the last 3 years! SenSchumer

. SenSchumer stop being naive. Any strategy involving republicans will fail. Stop playing by outdated rules and courtesies while they play hardball as usual.
