Republicans are debating including in the Senate resolution, which would govern the rules of the trial, a provision to dismiss the charges, something that would require 51 votes and would stop the trial in its tracks.But moving ahead with a dismissal vote could put Republicans up for reelection in a tough spot if they are seen as moving too quickly to dismiss the case.
Lamar Alexander, a retiring Tennessee Republican and McConnell confidante, said Monday when asked if he's open to witnesses."What I think is important is we have a vote on whether we need additional documents and witnesses. And that would only be appropriate after we've heard the case and asked our questions."That tracks directly with the model McConnell has touted now for weeks: a Senate resolution governing the trial that follow the procedures of Clinton's trial.
Why using the Clinton impeachment model in the Senate? Why? Dumb! Use the Democrat model Intel committee & judiciary committee. They did not give Republicans the witnesses they wanted. Did not allow a Republican hearing date. Fair? Use Dem model!
Now that's a true SHAM But why should the American people expect this sycophant lackey Repub Senate do anythg but give immoral cover to this unethical, corrupt, fake, IMPEACHED POTUS? Why should we expect thm to do their original CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY w/o 21st century corrupt spin
Of course they want a “quick end”...he’s guilty.
This White House can't stand the thought of being held accountable for being lawless.
Scared shitless!
After the house conducted such a shameful display for all the world to see, I hope the GOP Senators return the favor. Maybe next time they wont have their heads up their asses!!!
Good. The house didn't even say he broke any laws.
Fake Impeachment with no crimes deserves a speedy acquittal! SpeakerPelosi is an embarrassment to America for this sham.
Moscow Mitch shud not be in charge of the senate trial. the trial is rigged, rigged.
You know it's a real trial when the defendant is coordinating with the jury.
We are watching to see if the lemmings in the Senate jump as high as Trumpski demands! We all know a fair trial when we see it! We have NOT seen anything fair or just from the Trumpski Senate!
GOP fascism at work.
What twilight zone world do Democrats live in to think that a defendant wouldn't want it kicked out of court? What person in their right mind would expect or do otherwise. Bunch of fruit loops, take the bucket off your head and put down the wooden spoon.
Okay but can we grow up and legalize weed?
Decision based on fact they have no defence & that trump wants to scream exoneration which only the uneducated & ignorant will believe. Very sad country it’s becoming!
The guy with eyeglasses sold his soul to trump...which is worse than the devil...' Hell is empty and all devils are here' ( said Shakespeare centuries ago....I guess even HELL does not want them back...)
If no conviction on Obstruction of Congress the power of the suphena will be tarnished and diminished for all of history.
Moscow Mitch wouldn't allow the replacement of SCOTUS judge when there was only 11 months left in Obama's term. Why won't he block an impeachment trial when there is less than 10 months left to an election in which T-RUmp will be a candidate?
When the HELL did we expect nothing less by the GOP Theses worthless criminals would betray their own flesh & blood....4 MONEY!!! Time we recognized it and made changes for the sake of our families....we owe it stand for reality
