For Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the very notion that President Donald Trump could be deserving of impeachment seemed "laughable"
After having read a summary of the July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that sparked House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into the president, McConnell said on Wednesday that it was "laughable to think this is anywhere close to an impeachable offense."
"If this is the 'launching point' for House Democrats' impeachment process, they've already overplayed their hand," the Senate Majority Leader said.

Pelosi is like Jason Garrett, whose game planning remains from a bygone era.
Pelosi doesn't have a brilliant play caller like Garrett, namely Kellen Moore, who will end up saving Garrett his job. Her play caller is the one and only AOC, who makes Freddy Kitchens look like a genius.
Mitch married a woman from a rich Chinese family, it's been lucrative for both sides.
The Constitution says High crimes and misdemeanors. Is there anyone in their right mind who thinks a conversation with the foreign leader about corruption involving Hunter Biden is a high crime?
“and they come armed.”
I have thought that in desperation an assassination attempt on Trump might the the final resort.
If that happened I can see a lot of Dem politicians getting assassinated in return.
The Dem politicians probably see that, so I feel better that assassination of Trump won’t be resorted to.
Also when the IG Report drops and it claims the dems used to foreign governments to spy on trump...the dems will say trump doesbit also.
Correct. And this is exactly why the GOP controlled Senate needs to issue a subpoena to Biden Jr. and validate President Trump’s concerns. Instead, they leave him bare behind to the wind while the Democrats execute their gaslighting game plan.
Yep. Once Trump voters reelected McConnell and Graham in 2020 look out.
“but, but, but Jeff Flake says he’s talked to 35 GOP U.S. Senators that would vote to impeach Trump if they only could do it in secret.”
Jeff Flake is a compulsive liar.
“Meanwhile, the GOP in the senate has been pushing judges in.. hmm... this thing has to be DOA on arrival if House actually impeaches. Any republican who voted to remove would be done. So, what is the Dems actual game plan?”
Protect the deep state, get rid of Biden, deligitimize the IG’s impending FISA report drop and hound Trump out of office.
just my .02 on why the Senate is quiet...
It might be better for them to stay out of the way because of what Barr\Durham\etc. are doing in the background. The Dems are screeching at epic levels over the last few days. There’s a reason for that, just like the Senate is proportionally quite to their level of screeching. While we all want the same thing, it’s hard to see sometimes what’s actually going on.
“So, what is the Dems actual game plan?”
To take control, they think the country belongs to them, not us.
What the democrats are doing is permanently damaging this country and any future presidency.
Their actions will not be forgotten or forgiven.
Vote Dem out!
But in the long run Mitch is a swamper. I don’t trust him.
Soreass and Hillary think so...
Votes are stolen with great aplomb in the crowded areas of all state crowded areas being leftist bastions. They steal elections regularly. If you don’t have a really large republican majority you wind up with bus loads of paid ne’er do wells and illegal aliens traveling from poll to poll stealing votes from me and you. And if it’s still too close a poll worker will conveniently find boxes of signed ballots stupidly forgotten in the trunk of his car. Voting in America has to be fixed. Until then patriots need to act to prevent crimes against the constitution.
Interesting analysis. Thanks for replying to my post.
I am thinking that the new urgency to try and impeach President Trump is directly connected to Buzzy Ginsburg leaving the Supreme Court. The Dems know that she doesn’t have too much longer to hang onto her seat. They can’t afford to let the President replace her, they simply must take him out first.
The plan is to get Mitt to come out as ready to accept VP on the democrat ticket.
Hiring Elaine Chao was the most strategically brilliant bit of patronage hiring EVER!
You think the Democrats would actually accept Mitt Romney getting anywhere NEAR their ticket?
They spent the better part of a year telling their voters that he was a dog-abusing polygamist who ran around giving people cancer.
NO WAY they are gonna accept him.
Now we know why there hasn't been an updated edition of Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy. Still waiting for politicians to act like they deserve inclusion.
