McConnell thinks that Trump being impeached and then potentially convicted and ousted from office by the US Senate "will make it easier to purge him from the party," The Times said, citing people familiar with his thinking.

Changing the name of this leftist rag from Business Insider to “Business Insanity” news.
Divide and conquer propaganda. It’s been a wild success for Democrats.

@ @ <-—— Mesmerized by conspiracy theories.
Convict him of what?
Come on you people-U know fake news when u see it. Senate will come back to work on the 19th. That’s 1 day to convict-vote. Ain’t gonna happen.What surprises me is that some of you swallowed it.
Agreed. They just keep digging.
The Senate trial isn’t rendered moot by the Jan 20th date. Schumer, as majority leader, can take up the trial at the time of his choosing. Both the house and senate began the 117th Congress on Jan 3. Anything passed by the House since then such as the Impeachment Article can be taken up by the Senate. When they do look at it is their choice...Schumer has up to two years to arrange for the trial portion.
