It’s on track to be the trial of the century: President Donald Trump fighting to keep his job before a jury of 100 senators.
It also could never happen.
That’s because of a Constitution that designates the Senate with the “sole power to try” an impeachment that comes from the House.
But nowhere in America’s founding document is the trial said to be a mandatory act.
Party politics are sure to be front and center in McConnell’s decision. The Senate Republican doesn’t need to worry about his most vulnerable incumbents facing serious primary challengers.
The more pressing issue is whether he makes them take a vote exposing them next November to Democratic attacks that they failed to hand Trump the ultimate punishment for his misdeeds.

If he dragged this out it would flip their lids. Do it Mr.Turtle! To hell with these Rats.
Yeah how about that little issue of how Republicans will react to any who vote against Trump.
I think Trump could take on 100 senators with one hand tied behind his back. And he’d love the publicity. Networks forced to cover him again. He has the energy to do that all day for weeks. The senators do not.
I don’t think the Senate should take it up. Democrats are playing with fire.
The Party of Hate and Evil is revealing the evil within itself, for all to see, through its viciousness and madness.
Do not forget, people of America, that the Democrat Party is the party of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, segregation, racism, lynching, infanticide, voter fraud, illegal immigration, coup d'état, hate and evil.
Through their present and past actions they have exposed themselves and the evil at the core of this cabal.
Obviously, Democrat politicians and their supporters do not care if they damage America. In fact, the destruction of the USA is their objective.
Observe that the rallying cry of the President whom they are plotting to destroy is "Make America Great!"
As a Democratic impeachment in the House is 100% political with no real “high crimes and misdemeanors”, it only makes sense for the Senate to take a political move as well.
DO IT!
schedule a date for “trial” - then keep postponing it.
I see no reason for that Republicans to take part in this Kabuki theater of the House. The Democrats know they cannot possibly succeed in impeaching Trump on no evidence this is all a media tantrum.
The Democrats have been the party of empty promises and Corruption for generations. Screaming, ranting and raving while they line their pockets they try to generate smoke and mirrors by ALWAYS trying to impeach the standing Republican President.
While everyone trys to put out the dumpster fire, they will slink off to shake down their constituents for bribes and donations.
It’s a lot easier to be Corrupt when peoples attention is elsewhere. Why else would Nancy and her coven or Globalists declare an impeachment inquiry and immediately follow it with a recess? It’s not about Trump, it’s about the cover of darkness they need to operate.
The Republicans need to not be distracted by this worthless crap fest and ignore the monkeys in the house flinging poo by keeping their distance.
Criminally charge Biden and his son, Hillery and her secrets for sale and Barry’s spying ring while putting every one of the false dossier “intelligence “ seditionists in prison.
Ignore the shrieking of the monkey house.
Watch what the Rats do, not what they say.
If they actually vote on Impeachment and get the votes, there will be a trial in the US Senate.
What this means though, is the President’s team can subpoena ANYBODY to testify before Congress, and the list is long and extensive.
In some ways this could be a really GOOD THING, so ten bucks says they won’t do it. Unless they are stupid, and we already know the answer to that.
You forgot civil war.
Yeah love to see Biden and his drug addled son subpoenaed to testify under oath. Come on Polutionco let’s bring it on.
But why? Let’s see them try to make the case.

We are now getting the specifics on how the Schiff Dossier was created out of thin air. Evidence surfacing now shows:
<><> the ICIG only recently created a spanking new official government whistleblower complaint form;
<><> The official government form was custom-made specifically to fit the whistleblower's story;
<><> The official form was changed to allow the filing of complaints “heard from others“ (not "heard first hand" as originally required).

“What this means though, is the President’s team can subpoena ANYBODY to testify before Congress, and the list is long and extensive.”
Bingo. Joe Biden will be on trial. And Obama.
All the stuff they have on Trump already came out.
Politico is baiting McConnell. The last thing the Dems want is a lingering trial.
What misdeeds? I reject the premise of the entire article.
Here is something Mitch could do. He could hold what would be a de facto summary judgement hearing. Have a debate on the floor and vote on whether to proceed to a trial.
Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the impeaching party, is there even enough to convict. If the Senate votes “no” then it’s an acquittal. If they vote that there might be, a trial. I have a feeling it comes out “no” but with our GOPe I am not so sure.
I’m predicting right here and now that the full House will never take a vote on impeachment. They don’t have the votes. Otherwise, the vote would already have taken place.
If he dragged this out it would flip their lids. Do it Mr.Turtle! To hell with these Rats.
This isn’t difficult. Subpoena Biden Jr., he will take the 5th and this nonsense is over next week. It is far, far better to nip it in the bud than “dragging this out.” Strangely, the Senate GOP show no interest in doing that. Don’t you find that odd?
I’m predicting right here and now that the full House will never take a vote on impeachment. They don’t have the votes. Otherwise, the vote would already have taken place.
I’m predicting right now they will. It’s a free shot at POTUS because the Dems have bipartisan top cover from the GOP Senate.
