McConnell first made the remarks during a closed-door lunch with his fellow Republican senators on Capitol Hill, an official in the room told CNN, before McConnell made the announcement publicly during a news conference following the lunch. McConnell made clear he had no plans to move forward on a trial until the two articles of impeachment are sent to the Senate, as he has said publicly.
"Two sources say McConnell and his deputies are moving to lock in the whip count during the closed-door GOP policy lunch on Tuesday in preparation for whenever the articles are transmitted to the Senate. At this point no final decisions have been made, but as has been clear for weeks, the impasse between McConnell and Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer over witnesses appears as intractable as ever.
BREAKING NEWS: Democrats hide impeachment in the queens purse
You say nobody's above the law well it looks like Mitch McConnel, all the Senate, hell why don't we just throw in all the Republicans, their all above the law. You Keep say they're breaking laws yet there's no other branch of office to stop them.
Good. Get on with it and dismiss the whole bogus thing.
You mean just like the house did with that sham hearing where it was not only partisan but some dems actually voted with Republicans...
I'm really weird. There shouldn't be any term limits. Any elected office from level of Governor and up should be life time commitments. No resignations, no impeachment, no recall votes. Only way out of the office is death, no exceptions.
A mockery of a Trial. The cattle Barron bought the sheriff, his deputy Judge and the jury. All those in favor of acquittal say Hey. Not guilty, let’s head to the saloon for a round of drinks. The Barron’s buying
Hopefully Kentucky has the votes to boot him out in November.
That sounds fair. WTH?
So a one sided clown show in the house gets sent to the other side of the clown show in the senate and people are surprised? This was always just a big waste of time and money.
How much did it cost clown news to pay off Nick? You know, the child you tried to defame that sued you and you just paid him off
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Duncan D. Hunter submitted his resignation Tuesday, effective Jan. 13, after pleading guilty to a corruption charge, leaving one of the GOP’s few remaining House seats in heavily Democratic California.'They're all jumping ship!'
Ouch. Fake news has its price beyond selling your journalistic integrity!
SENATE MUST DO THEIR JOB----ACQUIT
Checks and balances are out the window, down the street and in the gutters!
joncoopertweets senatemajldr McConnell your such a disgrace and an embarrassment you are towards your oath to office and country I pray to God you lose your seat in November its a crime that you are not providing to the American people the justice and the right to the truth
It doesn’t take much to line up Republicans now days.
Sooo.... it's just like in the House of Representatives, just the opposite party? How surprising!
WHY IS IT TRUMP CAUSES SHIT BUT NEVER PAYS THE PRICE. WHY IS IT THAT MCCONNELL SEEMS TO DECIDE ON HIS OWN WHAT HE WILL OR WILL NOT DO ALTHOUGH IT IS AGAINST THE LAW OF THE LAND. WHY IS IT THAT NOT ONE PERSON IS PREPARED TO STAND OF FOR TRUTH, JUSTICE AND GETTING TRUMP OUT.
Breaking News: CNN settled a defamation lawsuit with Covington student. Fake news is costing them money!

McConnell and the Republicans scrub Trump. It is the great white wash.

Was totally okay in the House when it was the Democrats doing this with no Republocan support, bit now that the tables are flipped it's pretty bad, yeah? Smells like hypocrisy to me.
I don’t believe he has the votes, anyone that knows him and how he operates know he does not. He’s under pressure frm all the info coming out.

Tit for Tat!

What is good for democrats is good for Republicans.
The counter is for Speaker Pelosi to hold the Articles until the new Senate is seated. If she needs justification for doing this, she can inform MoscowMitch the House is applying the same rationale he applied to Merrick Garland: the right to hold the Articles as seen necessary.
Fuck him Trump 2020 Retweet if you love Trump
There will be no witnesses. The GOP can't afford to have anybody testify under oath! Cowards
We already know this?

Traitor
Let's get it over with
CORRUPT REPUBLICANS AT WORK AGAIN
It’s hard to believe those involved in the obstruction of the investigation are the jury and judge for said charge. This is such a sad time for democracy in the USA.
it is in his hands to show if it is just Trump or if what we see is the face of the republicans
Kind of like the opposite of the House, eh? 😂😂😂
Roman Empire 2.0 about to fall apart
This guy is making a big mistake: to not have bipartisan support and then proceed anyway is a dangerous precedent and one that the GOP and McConnell will pay for in spades!
Good,because those votes will set Republican Senators destiny for history.
Why aren't 'We the people' rising up? This is total bullshit!
senatemajldr perfect, that path with end the government. Go for it Moscow.
Who cares
So since the GOP is in control of the Senate only because of their germandering, and since the majority did NOT vote for DJT - basically, we are being ruled by a party who does NOT represent the will of the majority of Americans due to technicalities.
Obviously our Constitution means nothing to the republicans nor the oath they took to protect and defend. Their power and greed took over. Shame, shame on them.
But not without the actual impeachment paperwork. I would never send it over until they will have a fair trial and witnesses. Who cares what they say. SpeakerPelosi
As per usual: when the GOP doesn’t like the results, just change the rules.
