...

McConnell, who has largely refrained from making grandiose public statements on the House impeachment effort in recent days, briefed GOP senators during a luncheon on Wednesday on the impeachment process via a PowerPoint presentation and urged them to gear up for an impeachment trial in the Senate. He expects this process could heat up next month, around Thanksgiving.

McConnell’s family is just as corrupt as Biden’s.

If it goes to the Senate, there may be enough corrupt and/or blackmailed GOPes to vote to convict.

WTH.

Based on a secret star court where all evidence and testimony is in secret even in the House of Representatives and the GOP can’t even question it?

This is treason.

I know Mitch can’t do anything about what the house does. (Although he really probably can)
But if the house votes for impeachment, you should conduct a one day trial, vote along strict party lines to acquit.

If the GOP votes to remove him oh, we should probably march on DC and take the place over by force. Regain control of our stolen government

CTH doesn’t trust the republicans. The cite Collins from Maine telling the Senators they are a jury and must be objective. Therefore, make no public statements.

Gallup ran a poll on impeachment of “adults” that says 52% favor impeachment. Considering the number of visitors, illegals, and liars in this country, who KNOWS who they got data from. I do know they weren’t sharing it.

They showed 24% of Republicans favoring impeachment while Trump enjoys 94% Republican approval.

Someone is wrong/lying.

McConnell a weak supporter for President Trump after Trump won the Primary, so it’s not surprising. President Trump claims he has strong support from the Republicans.

Then we can all march on DC and ask for an explanation. With rails, hot tar, and feathers.

He could come out and say the Senate will not take up impeachment unless the impeachment comes out of a traditional impeachment inquire vote where the Republicans are allowed to question witnesses and subpoena. As it stands now, it is a crooked kangaroo court proceeding that should not be recognized as a valid process by the Senate.

The most perilous aspect is having Chief Justice Roberts in charge of the Senate impeachment trial. He is comproised after his Obamacare sell out to the Dems and is not to be trusted.

I’d rather the Senate was prepared on how to handle whatever the D’s send over; to be unprepared would be foolish.

A Senate trial is most effective way Trump can get defense message out.

Time for US to gear up, too. That means calls and, if necessary, threats to RINO Senators that we not only won’t vote for them, but that we’ll contribute to and vote for a primary opponent and will stay home in the general if they vote to convict Trump.

This is the last hurrah of the Deep State - and a LOT of RINOs are charter members. Time for the People to speak, loud and clear!
