The House is expected to vote Wednesday to send articles of impeachment to the Senate and name managers who will prosecute the case against the president, ending a nearly monthlong delay by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The leading House manager, possibly someone like House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., would then read the text of the articles in the chamber. In 1999, the process of adopting the new measures took a week. On Wednesday, Jan. 6, 1999, the House appointed managers and sent the articles to the Senate. It’s an eerie similarity to the present, with Pelosi set to hold a House vote on a Wednesday to do the same thing.
McConnell said Tuesday that he didn’t expect to reveal the text of the organizing resolution for this trial until next Tuesday. There may be a short break after this to allow for both sides to file legal briefs laying out their arguments, which was the reason for the delay in 1999 between Jan. 8 and Jan. 14.
“I have never seen a trial before where you had factual disputes where you didn't have witnesses where you could watch their demeanor on the stand, listen to them, judge one witness versus another witness. That’s basically our system of justice,” said then-Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, who is now Ohio’s governor.
In 1999, Democrats say, independent counsel Kenneth Starr had conducted a lengthy investigation into Clinton and had spoken with all relevant witnesses and also had possession of nearly all the documentary evidence he sought, “60,000 pages, five volumes — an amazing array of data,” as Daschle put it. And there was bipartisan concern that the salaciousness of testimony by Monica Lewinsky would lower the dignity of the Senate.

Ex-prosecutor mocks Giuliani for wanting to defend Trump at impeachment trialCynthia Alksne called Giuliani's advice 'not very smart' and 'silly,' after the attorney urged Trump's defense team to argue that the ongoing proceedings against the president are unconstitutional. Then that ex-prosecutor obviously suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome & their opinion is a worthless joke! I love lawyers that think the law is complex, they’re entirely transparent.
