Pelosi Sending Impeachment Article to Senate, GOP Senators Warn McConnell Not to Vote to Convict
MenRec ^ | 01/25/21 | Rusty

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will send the article of impeachment against Donald Trump to the Senate at about 7 p.m. Monday, where a “full trial” will take place.

This, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

...

The Hill indicates only a handful of Republicans seem likely to go along with a vote to convict Trump, short of what they would need for success.

They write, “Only five or six Republican senators at the most seem likely to vote for impeachment, far fewer than the number needed.”

Meanwhile, CNN is reporting that several GOP senators have expressed that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “could face backlash if he votes to convict Trump.”

“If he does, I don’t know if he can stay as leader,” one senior GOP senator allegedly told CNN.

Its not an impeachment. You have no Supreme Court Justice and you have no President. That in a monkey trial. Its not law. Any press that says it is, is part of the crime.

Yep.

But most of today’s world doesn’t know what that meant.

“Sham trial without a sitting president and Supreme Court Justice”

10 short words and a very good summation.

If the Senate had objected to more questionable states and supported the objections, it’s possible we could have gotten an investigation into the matter.

I listened Verdict with Ted Cruz over the weekend, and he said that when the Capitol was entered and everything was shut down, he was in the middle of arguing for the appointment of a bicameral Election Commission to audit the results of the 2020 election and return a report by January 16.

Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ReEeokXQI

Specific segment of Cruz outlining his proposal: https://youtu.be/p6ReEeokXQI?t=639

Were it not for the breaching of the Capitol, there might have been some real investigation into the election fraud.

Just reported by NBC on Trumps impeachment trial, John Roberts has bowed out from fulfilling his constitutional duty to act as impeachment judge. The trial is ILLEGAL.

The Blaze has a report that he will not preside but guess who will? Pat Leahy - old mumbles himself. I think Mark Levin, Alan Dershowitz, Jonathan Turley and several others said over the weekend that they have to have a JUDGE - but a real one or just someone to preside?

If they’re not delivering THE article until tonight at 7, what was the parade a couple of weeks all about with 10-12 House members walking over to the Senate??? Not one of those were what Pelosi called “managers.”

A democRAT senator, Patrick Leahy, will now preside.

Roberts said he would not preside in the politically biased trial if the president was out of office already.

“Let them vote then we can all see who the traitors are.”

Just let them know that we’ll be watching and our default mode will be that they’ll vote to convict. It’ll be up to them to “change my mind”. They’d better get real mouthy, and real quick, so we know the ones to kick to the curb the next election — if there is a next election, which is doubtful.

It certainly might have been, which gives lie to involved in the planning or even inciting what occurred, it was against his best interest.

I believe that the whole ‘”insurrection” charade was arranged by the demoncrats in the days before President Trump’s rally in order to disrupt the legislative proceedings and provide a “Reichstag Fire” moment for them to endlessly propagandize off of. So far I have not seen any evidence to change my belief.

McConnell and McCarthy are finished. They just aren’t smart to understand it yet.

I honestly don’t think they care.

on another thread a freeper perceptively raised the doubt that Chief Justice Roberts is willing to preside over this travesty. Anyone herd anything about this?

Pat Leahy, Democrat Senator from Vermont, will preside. That's right, a member of the jury hearing the case will also be the judge. Roberts will not participate, as this is a moot case. That's how big a farce this is.
