White House wants Senate trial rules to include ability to dismiss Trump chargesThe White House is urging Senate Republicans to preserve the option of moving to swiftly dismiss the charges against President Donald Trump after opening arguments in his impeachment trial, as GOP leaders and Trump's team look for a quick end to the proceedings, according to sources familiar with the discussions. 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 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!
