, which ushered in the public phase of the probe. No president has ever been removed from the White House through impeachment, but President Richard Nixon resigned rather face the likelihood of his removal in the Senate.
McConnell, who previously said he did not want to prejudge the process, also told reporters Tuesday that discussions on formalizing the process with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., have not begun, but noted that “if the House acts, I think the place to start would take a look at what the agreement was 20 years ago [in the Clinton impeachment trial] as a starting place and discuss how we may be able to agree to handle the process.
This b4 all the evidence is revealed, Moscow Mitch is a disgrace
I hope this backfires on Nancy, Chuck, Adam and the rest of these left wing nutters
Don’t you get kicked off a jury for saying this? Who owns you Mitch?
Every time that Mitch McConnell says the Democrats are being unfair or throwing precedent out the window, you must identify him with 'says the man who refused for 11 months to hold a hearing for President Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland.'
washingtonpost nytimes NicolleDWallace maddow SpeakerPelosi AdamSchiff jaketapper ericswalwell Yes Mitch McConnell it’s time to respect the rule of law. Attaching yourself to Trump who has no respect for the Constitution will only hurt you and the GOP in the end
Schiff isn't as worried about removal as smearing this President and setting up a sittuation that will give the House a foil to combat the Criminal investigation the DOJ is embarking on now. It's painfully clear to me members of the Democratic Party were involved in Ukraine 2016
Impeach Mitch
He will never allow his senate to try Trump. He is the second most powerful anti American on earth!
Of course. There’s no evidence of a high crime. Just circumstantial evidence with a story of opinions wrapped around it. Based on everything released publicly so far, dems have nothing and this will only hurt then with independents and moderates from a trust standpoint in the end
And these senate repubs would be the jury ? Well that would only show that the WhiteNationalistParty condones this lawlessness and validates the actions of the orange king . Vote Them Out !
Then Rep. Senators condone mafia like tactics and extortion.
Bunch of scared crooks.
Man, you guys repost a looooooottttttttt
He keeps sucking from the orange dick 😡😡😡
What’s the high not low crime fake news?
GpaHess Grim Reaper's going to kill that too. The do nothing senatemajldr is making a decision without even having a trial yet. One that the majority of Americans say is needed & is in the Country's best interests. All to appease lawless, treasonous GOP cult leader, realDonaldTrump
Those who know which side of their bread is buttered, the country, integrity, values and morals come last
Why doesn’t he read and listen to the evidence. This is shameful. Vote out Moscow Mitch!
A conviction might be the only way the GOP salvages the 2020 election for down ticket candidates.
Maybe it will tomorrow Moscow Mitch!!
If the Democrats start filling more chairs, we can all watch Mitch fade into oblivion. He's taken enough of the NRA's money, & Russian money to retire by now. I sure hope he has to serve some time with his friends when this is all done. CU Mitch! 😅
And more’s the shame, Mitch.
Of course not he didn't do anything unlike corrupt joe biden and son
Moscow Mitch took dark money from Russia. Belongs in jail.
Duh 🙄
Coward!
Gee, what a surprise. And if they have a dead body on 5th Avenue with video of Trump shooting them; I’m guessing an acquittal there too, eh?
No evidence exists for impeachment. Dems just look like pouting babies who lost 2016
What!? Ignore the truth and facts ?
Thanks; America already knows that G☠️P is only for law and order when it applies to poor & people of color; wealthy, especially white 1s, are judged by a different, more liberal law. Trump sets the tone at from top & it’s a pretty pathetic one (& G☠️P aids & abets).
What about tomorrow.
senatemajldr GOP GOPLeader Seeing what realDonaldTrump is doing to your party, pretty soon it’s going to be you we remove from office! Keep fighting for that clown, keep fighting for party over country...America is coming!!!!
No surprise. The political games continue.
Moscow Mitch is an affront to effective government world wide. He kills bills that could save lives like gun control legislation. He is corrupt and takes Russian money!
MoscowMitch did break alot of Senate norms to pack the SCOTUS. I don't think he'll let blackmail by the executive branch get in his way.
You had me at, the Senate would not vote... Does the senate vote on anything?
I wonder if Trump demanded you tweet this exact thing while in Kentucky? 🧐 Go down with the ship Mitch. I’m sure you’ll continue looting America on your way down.
How about tomorrow?
He is the Deep State...MM
Of course, senatemajldr is a CROOK himself RussianAsset Vote him out, just like his buddy, Bevan! CorruptGOP
Ask him again now that Kentucky just got served up blue.
Look at that NECK. What is senatemajldr hiding in there? 🐢
And tomorrow?
I hope every republican stands behind Trump and gets drag down by him.
Once they hear testimony could that change? I still have not heard from any member of the GOP why we are so endeared to Russia now and why they don't care.
So basically, even if all the truths comes out in the House, the Senate will disregard all the facts to save the orange baboon.
How about tomorrow? Kentucky flipped MoscowMitch
What’s he gonna say tomorrow?
Grim Reaper reaps what he sows
Doesn't matter, sonny. Damage is done.
Want to bet!?
All the aids will have go on stand . Will be telling what know or go jail?
But it’s not being held today.
We knew the Senate would not vote for impeachment,, that's Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsay what did we expect
TRUMP did nothing wrong!!! Move on!!! You can't impeach a President because you don't like him!!! God bless PRESIDENT TRUMP 🙏 🇺🇸💗👏⭐💪💰
Trump impeachment won’t be held today. By the time his impeachment will be held, it will be a totally different time, with much more incriminating evidence, and with a “majority of people” onside for ImpeachmentandRemoval !
I have typed and retyped a response but I really don't have any words that fit. What is there left to say?The GOP would rather vote that trump is honest and all the others lied People that have honorable served their country for many years are being sacrificed by desperate men.
What about tomorrow? No? The next day? The next? What about next week? Two weeks and a fresh baked pie from my Mama? No?
Today is over. Here comes tomorrow and days after.
Ask senatemajldr again tomorrow. He may see things a wee bit differently.
What an overpaid collection of blockheads.
How about would he win re-election if a vote was held now...
Was this before or after election results
Maybe tomorrow he'll have something different to say.
That's really not the point of this. History casts a long shadow on those who end up on the wrong side of it Mitch.
Trump is a traitor, and so is MoscowMitch
Shocking.. 🙄
What else is he going to say? It's not being held today. The evidence hasn't been laid out for the public yet.
What about tomorrow, MoscowMitch KYGov trumpturnsKYBlue
His words were meant for Fox News viewers. They're gullible enough to believe anything and everything without actually doing any research.
Moscow Mitch blathers again
Kentucky says McConnell is next too ousted
Hey Moscow Mitch! If an election were held right now for your gig, I would say that you may want to consider moving to Russia?
He made that statement before tonight’s voting came to a close: referendum on Trump...which is he’s not longer in control of their base
Then it's a good thing it's not being held today.
Donald Trump is a liability for the GOP. Womp. Womp.
And then Democrats won the governors race.
It's fun to be dependent on members of a criminal conspiracy to convict their ringleader.
Goodbye Moscow Mitch
Tick, tock McConnell ⏳senatemajldr realDonaldTrump ImpeachmentIsComing RepublicansForImpeachment
Start packing
It is time for McConnell to go home to Kentucky.
Then you are not doing your constitutional duty to protect America!
MoscowMitch should be packing for departure
And by the end of the day, his state voted for a Democrat for governor so maybe Moscow Mitch should evaluate what’s important to him - staying in the senate or covering up for a sex-offender and known grifter?
MoscowMitch won’t vote to impeach? Gosh, why would have guessed. He is trumpsbitch and everyone knows it. TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump
Mc Connell is in Trumps back pocket
Hypocrites! CountryBeforeParty VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare MoscowMitch VoteMcConnellOut
Hasn’t even seen evidence. He needs to go!!!
Wonder $$$ why?
So, regardless whether or not there is sufficient evidence, McConnell will not support removing Trump from office. He has already made that decision. So it is true. Trump can murder someone in broad daylight and this Congress will line up behind him.
senatemajldr MoscowMitch Of course. You’ve demonstrated no interest in country over party or advancing any bills that have passed in the House.
Shocker!!
Aren't you supposed to announce your verdict after the trial, not before it? After you've thoughtfully weighed the evidence and not after you ignored it?
DUDE PACK YOUR BAGS YOU ARE FIRED!
Oh democrats, you are so focused in such a lost cause... you will loose 2020...
No way. I am shocked.... shocked I tell you!
Thank you Captain Obvious.
Good luck selling that to the voters MoscowMitch
Then, it's good the trial isn't being held today MoscowMitch. Guess you'll have to wait for the public testimony, Articles of Impeachment & vote by the House before making a judgement call.
How would he know? He must be blackmailing some of them.
They won’t do it next year either. Assholes.
Lucky for us we probably won’t even need to impeach him. How you doing in Kentucky Moscow Mitch!
Too bad you won't be around..lol I date you to place the US in harm's way as usual..
Groundbreaking.
Cause McConnell is corrupt. We are witnessing the end of the checks and balances.
EpsteinCoverup
WE READ THE TRANSCRIPT. YOU MIGHR WANT TO ALSO.
Give it time.
How does he know ? Does he have all the evidence already ? Surely SenateGOP and their leader have an obligation to listen ? McConnell MitchMcConnell GOP impeachment
Well of course they wouldn’t. Just think of how much money they’d lose!
Father Time will take care of Mitch and Trump. Can’t wait for that day. Already have the party plans in place except the date and time. 🥳
That’s not news. Without 45, MoscowMitchMcTreason can’t be the “grim reaper” of house bills.
Failure to do their jobs. Vote them out. Your job is to review bills passed by House & vote on them. Impeachment, your job is to review evidence & charge based upon that evidence; not party loyalty
According To Moscow Mitch, Today The Votes Are Not There In The Senate For Impeachment Of Trump TODAY ... Well, MM
Which says tons about the lack of integrity in the GOP. Trump is guilty of being a cheat, a liar, a crook and a traitor. All things you don't want in a President, much less in anyone. ImpeachTheMFTraitorNow
Because Moscow Mitch has no guts!!!!!!!!!
He would not convict him EVER, even if he killed somebody. He is Trump's b**ch.
Wait until the public testimony & Trumps approval rating. GOP in a loose loose position.
Well, of course he'd say that. Duh.
The republicans Need to grow a pair.just about all of them said he did. What don’t they believe?
senatemajldr what more do you require that would lead you to Impeachment? You have so much evidence that Trump tried to extort Ukraine for his own personal gain! What more do you need?!
No need to look at evidence or hear testimony. Not Guilty!
I guess they don't need to hear the evidence. They've already decided. lol
Then let’s wait till tomorrow. 🤣🤣🤣
That’s nice since he’s taken the time to look at zero evidence!
But you spent 8 yrs trying to take down the most decent president in decades mitchmustgo
All roads lead to Moscow...
😳
Nothing surprises me any more. This man, his President, and their flock are smelling more rotten by the minute.
How much more evidence do you need, lapdog of 45?
Party before country as usual
This is just McConnell giving the baby his bottle... Just wait.
Did senatemajldr say this before or after Sondland’s resurrected testimony?
DUH. It's MoscowMitch - In for a pound... in for a ruble
Trump should be tried in Civilian court like the rest of us.
MoscowMitch is a cheater...
Today...
Of course, crooks of a feather flock together. It’s time to get this old sack of crap into a retirement home, we’ve had enough of the madness.
Vote this greedy guy out!!!
Resign now bootlicker 🤡
🤮🤮🤮
Moscow Mitch needs to get locked up.
If the House passed the impeachment article(s) and the senate majority leader wouldn’t bring to the floor for a vote then should he be put in prison for corruption?
'Yes, we'd like to excuse juror 6. He cannot be fair and impartial, and has no business standing before this court.'
We know that!
Shocker! Clinton lied about having sex with Monica Lewinsky and the Republican party went apeshit! Over 20 women accuse Trump of sexual assault, 2 rapes! one from his ex-wife Ivana. Breaks emoluments clause, bribes foreign leaders n repubs look the other way
If the Senate does not remove Trump them Democrats should take over the Senate on 2020!!!!
Hell Moscow Mitch if we had video of Trump beating up the pope you would not convict.
LindseyGrahamSC
The senate can’t even bring votes on the hundreds of bills that have passed the House, like gun legislation
holmes_62 Traitors
What a surprise.
Lucky for us, today is almost over.
Bipartisan jerks
No shit, Sherlock
Im sure they don't plan to convict no matter what. They are all in. Convicting would be admitting they made a mistake in letting that criminal baffoon on the ticket in the first place. Republicans are party over country to the bone.
What else is new!
If Democrats aren’t pressuring Biden to drop out of the race over his admitted quid pro quo, why would they expect Republicans to hold Trump to a standard that Democrats don’t find important? This is getting boring.
Well...duh? There is simply not all that much to go on here. My guess is that it would be even more punishing for the Dems to have a bright light shone on them. Impeach away.
Why don't you wait for the facts before you make up your mind.
Makes you wonder how many rubles are running through the RNC and GOP?
Today, tomorrow, next week, next year; doesn't make a difference. The Senate will not convict their candidate. Party before country.
You need mental health
He hasn’t even heard the trial. Fixed jack. Ass
Moscow Mitch spreads his propaganda
Er, aren't you supposed to have a trial first?
What a shame!!!! Disgraceful behavior
That's why they're holding public hearings
So tell us something we don’t already know. The absolute abdication by McConnell, & his Senate majority is astounding; they’re owned lock, stock, and barrel by 45. May he drag all of them down with him.
Whatever they do, it will be in the annals of American History. If the evidence reveals a corrupt President, they will be attached to that record.
Is Mitch not a juror? Isn't this statement biased on its face? Doesnt this disqualify Mitch?
Needs to go into a seniors home
OK, let’s get the yeas and nays on the record and move on senatemajldr let’s see who is going to be a shit stain in the history books for eternity.
Yea, investigating Democrats crimes and collusion is the real problem...... but TICK...TICK...TICK.... Barr investigations continue and all your little fascist/Nazis demigods can not stop these investigations..
amymcgrath2020
Says more about Republicans than anyone or anything. May you wear your complicity like a chain to the polls.
Not surprised MoscowMitch, you dont have any integrity
republicans wouldn't convict hitler
What a traitor. MoscowMitchTraitor
Surprise surprise
AndrewYang be like
Impeaching a a President based on an anonymous complaint is a great idea. The new norm!!
We're okay with crime.
Bias traitors. Look at the facts. Country over party!
Sure helps given they admittedly said they aren’t reading the various released transcripts.
Anyone that keeps defending this president, is either extremely ignorant or extremely corrupt. We all know which one Mitch is.
... unless Putin tells Moscow Mitch to do otherwise
This clown needs to be voted out.
Not shocking. The only job the Senate does is to obstruct protecting the American people.
And you in prison
Did Putin tell him to say that in their daily chat? TheMoscowMitch
How can he say that without hearing any evidence? CountryOverParty
Follow Me I'll Follow Back instantly 💯
Let's stop saying 'quid pro quo' and start saying; EXTORTION.
Dems should call his bluff and then keep exposing the corrupt president and his GOP enablers. Don’t need to remove him, he’ll get voted out next November. but the GOP will have to live by this forever.
Then we will remove all of you, MF.
tomorrow another story.
Because they’re all in on being criminals.
So much for listening to the evidence and making a fair impartial decision.
What about... now?
Wow, way to gather all the evidence before making a judgment.
You hear that kentucky? Your Senator is defending a POTUS who has use the power of the U.S. government to extort a foreign government to interfere in the 2020 election! MoscowMitch is shaming your state with this indefensible behavior. VoteBlueForAllSeats msnbc cnn
Our nations forefathers foresaw the possibility of a President abusing his power or committing crimes but they never imagined a Senate held by any party would be complicit with that President. Nothing in history like realDonaldTrump and senatemajldr
MoscowMitch then went on to say; '...because CriminalTrump is everything we, the corrupt, lying, fear-mongering, conspiracy theorists & self-serving GOP , could ever wish for.' senatemajldr ITMFA
Of course not, because he knows Donald won’t go quietly. Wouldn’t be surprised if Don had dirty dossiers on every single republican senator and David Dennison would be happy to let the fake news know all about them.
They don’t sound very impartial
THEN the GOP loses Pres AND Senate.
Tell McConnell to tell us something new. We already knew his gutless behind was too chicken in the first place.
Because the GOP doesn’t a give a shit about truth or putting country first... we know this...
Surprised he’d even bother to bring it to a vote. Seeing how he’s got over 300 bills sitting somewhere that he’s never bothered with.
Shocking
if it ever gets to the senate you senatemajldr will be facing a challenge in your next campaign
Moscow Mitch is gone in 2020!!!
senatemajldr You are one evil old man. The nation will cheer when you lose your power.
Remove MITCH!
Even on a different day it wouldn’t happen! The new gop is the reason Trump keeps shooting people on 5th ave and getting away with murder! MoscowMitch Traitor corrupt compromised VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
Without hearing a bit of evidence!
You can replace the word today with next week, next month or next year. What a complete waste of our money. pieceofschiff ImpeachmentInquiry Trump2020
Sure...and If I chose the correct numbers I would have won the lottery!
Well duh. The crooked bastardis will never convict
Well yeah. They’re spineless bastards.
That's because LindseyGrahamSC potus realDonaldTrump GOP GOPLeader GOPChairwoman SenateGOP senatemajldr are all traitors.
Yea well what about now?......ok then now?........... what about NOW!........ every few minutes new testimony comes out.... drip, drip.... NOW!
So instead of doing something productive for the country, keep looking.
Says MoscowMitchTraitor who appoints unqualified lifetime judges endangering american lives and institutions.
Makes sense seeing as how you haven’t seen all the testimony,”Moscow”!You will have no choice but to convict,the breeze of impeachment is picking up speed with the voting public.Your ldrshp is going to cost your Marxist party the Senate
That’s fine, we will let the people hear the evidence for them selves and when they don’t remove them they will all pay for trump with their jobs.
Of course not because senatemajldr is as corrupt as realDonaldTrump
Uh, don’t you wait until the house votes impeachment and then the senate hears all of the evidence before you make a statement like that. You would be voted off the jury for being prejudicial. If you were on trial would you like a juror who said you were guilty before the trial?
Hey Senators, what are you going to tell your grandchildren?
I'm confused by the Republican party. Either they have had access to testimony, are reading transcripts, weighing evidence 2 make judgments, OR, the Leader is basing his judgment on one witness, the President. Is that how trials are conducted? Only one side presents thr case?
We also know McConnell is a liar. So why does NBC report his words as if he has credibility. NBC news (among others) has normalized the behavior in DC today.
You haven’t even heard evidence but you know how people will vote?
Now this is a surprise! 🤦♀️
Now we heard Joe Biden on tape saying he wanted the guy fire that was going to investigate his son and the gas company and if he didn't no billions dollars!! And no one investigate thiis Because he running for president?
MoscowMitch
They wont regardless of what happens.
MoscowMitchTraitor
You haven’t heard the evidence. So, why do you say this? Be a Patriot and protect our Republic.
No one expects them too. The main show is in the House. The best we can hope for is he will be branded for all history as only the third president to be impeached by the House.
If this were a real trial, he’d be removed from the jury because he already made up his mind before the testimony.
They haven't heard any evidence yet.
