That is all that McConnell knows how to do.
Just look at how he twisted the Senate treaty ratification upside down to let Obama pass his Iran deal with a "vote to override a blockage" scheme.

The only advantage to this is it won’t tie up the senate candidates which would leave the field wide open for Biden, Pete and Bloomberg.

Granted it’s a NYT article, but facts are facts. Trump’s decoupling of the American consumer from China will cost McConnell’s family tens, if not hundreds of millions. Yertle’s wallet would love to see President Biden.
Two face graham needs gone, spewing spineless speech, as always.
No defense, no rebuttal by the President. Just let the false charges stick to the wall in an election year.
Sounds a lot like Graham is protecting Biden, not America.

There is something the Media and the GOP wholly ignore, they do this stuff because the Republicans don’t do it back at them.
They could care less about precedents, because they know the Republicans won’t do it, even when they have power.
I knew Biden would be protected by the Senate.
‘
.
We know the Republicans in the Senate will protect Biden.
Biden does what he does because he’s protected.
The Whistleblower is enjoying a status he has no claim to.
Sean Hannity will make out this isn’t the case right up until putrid Lindsey Graham covers for the Democrats.
.
Graham: “To do that without giving the accused a chance to defend himself by laying out a case of his own not only seems unfair, but also completely contrary to the American system of justice.”
So no trial, which would give the accused a chance to defend himself by laying out a case of his own. Ok...
Go straight to hell, do not collect your millions of dollars in bribes.

The IG is a Scam.
Barr, to this point, doesn’t think Dems should be prosecuted.
The State Dept believes in Double Standards for Trump.
The Republicans in the Senate are going to cover up the Dems crimes.
Lindsey Graham May hear some new (manufactured) Testimony and Romney and Rubio and Rats May vote to Convict.

No No No Do not trust Graham.
Yeah, I’m not going down the old history route. I’m looking at the White House who will have counsel sit down with McConnell and map out their strategy of what they wish to see in evidence and witnesses brought to light.
The idea President Trump has no defense other than to let this happen is not one I’ll take at face value nor Lindsay Graham’s comments.
I’d be less surprised to see another dozen House members refuse to vote on impeachment at all and blow everything up from below.
On that front, I’ve not ruled that option out.
“I challenge you to find ten members of Congress that are legitimately loyal to the Constitution.”
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.
‘
It’s not just Graham, Grassley has indicated he doesn’t want Biden called.
It’s quite apparent, Trump will be denied his witnesses by his own party.
What’s the downside of the House doing it again and again?
If you trust Graham, you’re a full blown Idiot.
‘

He’s encouraging another State Dept Activist to report BS to the Never Trumper IG.
There’s no downside to Schiff to continue getting phone records, coordinating more reports to in-cahoots IG, and continuing the behavior.
.
He only needs 34 senators to acquit the president, a fairly easy bar to reach, based on the “evidence” or lack thereof.
While this impeachment clown show has obviously been terrible for the country, what is really tearing our country apart is our ongoing bifurcated system of justice, which Graham’s proposed solution here would only serve to strengthen.The “bifurcated system of justice” is founded on the journalism cartel which, like the mafia, “doesn’t exist.” Trouble is, the wire services are virtual meetings of all major American journalists - and,"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices” - Adam Smith.Journalism inherently is the reporting of bad news which throws a bad light on society, and suggests that the government should “do something.” The journalism cartel propagandizes the conceit that “journalists are objective,” whichThe journalism cartel defines “liberalism”, “progressivism,” “moderation,” and “centrism” to mean exactly the same as what they define “objectivity” to mean. The difference between “objectivity” and those other “synonyms” is only in the usage permitted/demanded of “objectivity.” Journalists are always to be labeled “objective,” and never any of its synonyms. And no one not working as a journalist is labeled “objective,” if they otherwise meet the definition they will be labeled with one of “objective’s” synonyms.
- is false since objectivity is not a state of being but only a goal which can be pursued,
- is inconsistent with the self-examination without which a good-faith effort towards objectivity is impossible,
- motivates cynicism among journalists because going along and getting along with each other is so much easier than trying to actually be objective. The result is that the journalism cartel redefines “objectivity” to actually mean “in concord with the ideological consensus of the journalism cartel.” Since journalists know that negativity inheres in the journalistic perspective, the claim that “journalists are objective” is tantamount to a claim that “negativity is objectivity” - and that a good definition of “cynicism."
The upshot is that journalists’ cynicism towards society makes journalists slant towards socialism - and journalism’s cartel enables journalists to incentivize each journalist - and any politician - to go along and get along with journalist’s socialist perspective.
“The republican principle demands that the deliberate sense of the community should govern the conduct of those to whom they intrust the management of their affairs; but it does not require an unqualified complaisance to every sudden breeze of passion or to every transient impulse which the people may receive from the arts of men, who flatter their prejudices to betray their interests.” ― Alexander HamiltonFor “the arts of men” moderns should read, “the journalism cartel."
In other words too many senators also have their toes in the water.
I didn’t miss that part. He’s saying that once 51 have heard enough, he’ll stop. That means Democrats get to present their case. He steps in to stop the president from scoring any points.
Send it simple, have the AG Barr add Graham and posthumously , McCain to Department of Justice investigations involving Ukraine. Call Lindsey on day one along with Biden and the adulterer after forcing him to recuse himself from the impeachment rules in the Senate. Two important leave to someone under such a cloud of Suspicion. Two or more can play at this game. Just a little mention among the findings in his report interpreting the IG report. He’ll make it up if you have to, the Democrats do that with every sheet of paper they publish.
