He’s just playing his last hands. Weak too. Gotta be nervous.

You’re just now realizing this?

I’ve never made my mind up at all about Assange, or Snowden for that matter.

Opinions are certainly divided.

As for me, back in the days (not that long ago) when most people thought the government was mostly trying to do good, Assange and Snowden stood up and basically said, "Your government is rotten to the core."

And here we are today, and who can disagree with them? I think they were more right in what they did than they were wrong.

Maybe Assange has the goods to put Xiansheng O’Turtle away for good.

I thought that a conviction would be based on proving the charges. This is not proving the charges. It is about something completely different. It’s like, he might not be convicted on the charges, but they’ll get him on something else.

I remember a quote from Jefferson that warned that if ever most of the power got concentrated in Washington, we would have the most corrupt government on earth. We should have listened to him.

Assange I’m ok with. He is just a publisher. Snowden on the other hand is hiding in Russia. To me let him rot.

"he seems to be a closet Democrat, anyway. "

I would say he's a mole in the Senate for the CCP.

What trial and when?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever do you mean trial? There was never going to be a trial, merely a traitorous vote......

The senate may convene a trial, but the senate determines ALL the rules. A TRUMP Impeachment would look like a “Captain Blood” trial from Old England, only a naive soul would think or believe otherwise.

Suspicious leak. Reportedly the WH counsel is campaigning against a pardon for Asange, too. Maybe they are trying to lay this on China Mitch? Who knows.

You can’t impeach someone who is not the President.

Trump can sign it tomorrow morning.

I’m okay with that. Today works for me.

Leader of the Senate for less than the next 24 hours … this POS (the turtle) is the anthesis of someone having command presence. His opposite is General Michael Flynn.

It seems to be the old career Congressmen and women on both sides that are the most dirty. They are mostly approaching their 80s and they can’t go on forever. I wonder if the younger ones are as dirty or are they just scared to death of the ones that have been there for decades. Maybe once the old guard has moved on, things could get better...maybe.

I doubt that Mitch McConnell has anything to worry about. The voters of Kentucky just reelected him for another 6 years.
