Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell heads to a briefing by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and other national security officials on the details of the threat that prompted the U.S. to kill Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Iraq, Jan. 8, 2020 on Capitol Hill.
Democrats counter that her delay forced a public debate on the rules for the Senate trial, including whether Republicans would allow new witnesses or testimony to come forward.A group of House lawmakers -- called impeachment managers -- will also be tasked with presenting the charges, much like trial prosecutors, with the Senate's 100 members tasked under the Constitution to act as a kind of jury.
There are several potential wild cards in the Senate trial, including Trump himself. No one expected during the House inquiry for the president to aim his Twitter following at witnesses before and during their testimony -- prompting Democrats to accuse him of witness tampering. This will be the first impeachment trial in history in which senators will have access to the president's reactions instantaneously via Twitter.
Another wild card is whether either side can force new witnesses and testimony. If, as expected, McConnell follows trial rules similar to those used for Clinton, there would eventually be an opportunity to vote on the matter.
Kick the bum out.
Days away from finishing a trial too.
This trial will also determine whether or not, the US republic survives. Ben Franklin’s words have never more been true, when he said, we have a republic, if we can keep it.
They will call Schitt for Brains and the Drunk to the stand. That should work out well for America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
No president trump doesn’t deserve to stay in office His judgement is unstable a president shouldn’t go around killing people bc his fears drives his instincts causing the country to begin a war then lies about keep changing his story but lies to justify his actions for killing
WorldNews How can you tell when you are being played by the Mainstream Media? The MSM cares more about realDonaldTrump investigating corruption than they care about JoeBiden's actual corruption! Trump2020
We got here by Dems slamming together articles of impeachment based on lies, no evidence, no witnesses, no crime & absolutely no case. There is a pattern of Congressional abuse & harassment when Dems tried to impeach 5 of the 6 Republican Presidents without any crime. Shameful!
Will always be the 3rd president that was impeached.
Impeach, remove and indict
Oh Boy, America gets a chance to get a good look under the skirt of the U.S. Congress. Who is really on trial here? President Trump wins reelection in a landslide, and with it Republican control of the House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate.
So did the articles of impeachment reach the Senate yet?
As usual Democrats wasting our time and money! Not one productive thing accomplished for this country by the Democrats in the last 3 years. Trump 2020!
It would be nice to call Schiff, the “Whistle Blower”, Biden & Son, Pelosi, and Nadler as witnesses.....
First of all think about this for a moment! The house can take a vote on wither that want to all take a 💩 at 3 pm everyday. But, then it has too go to the senate to get approved! NO PROOF,NO EVIDENCED OF A CRIME! Then if the senate are that stupid to pass this! Then POTUS VETO!
First , he will not be convicted as THERE IS NO CRIMES! So the question of removal is null and void.
Gee I wonder how it will turn out.
Homelessness crisis is more than humanitarian, public health/environment disaster It is an affront 2human dignity. All of us w live in CA should feel ashamed of our state’s grotesque failure 2serve the most vulnerable among us: not just extremely poor but&mental ill/drug-addict

Stop calling it a 'Trial'. Senator McConnell wants a Trump 'Love Fest'.♥️
He's NOT going anywhere! He'll be re-elected in 2020 by a landslide! MAGA KAG🇺🇲
This is the face of, bigotry and hatred.
Regardless of the impeachment outcome in the Senate, he will go down in history as a failed president. If not worse (criminal conviction).
