Mitch McConnell Says He Will Sit Down with Chuck Schumer to Discuss Impeachment Proceedings
GP ^ | 10/22/19 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 10/22/2019 4:27:59 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Pelosi is planning on ramming through an impeachment vote against President Trump by Christmas in the US House of Representatives. They have no crime defined but they are determined to find one in their secret meetings.

The US Senate would then take up the impeachment proceedings.
Tom Fitton says McConnell should reject this coup attempt outright.

 

On Tuesday Mitch McConnell said he will sit down with Senator Schumer and have a conversation on how to handle the proceedings.

Mitch McConnell is against Trump and his voters.

Then why hasn't he been screaming this from every Sunday talk show in the mainstream media, on every talk radio show, and to anyone who will listen? Where has he been during the secret star chamber show trial that is ongoing? Does Mitch live under a rock?

****************************************************

He has a different style in the legislature than Trump in the executive. He's being diplomatic, giving them time to hang themselves. Allow the Democrats to keep shooting themselves. But by meeting with Schumer, he also sends message to the House: "You follow through with this, I'll shut you down." Realize this whole impeachment farce is helping the Republicans. The Democrats are divided and Pelosi is forced to unify with the most extreme members. This is not just about getting Trump re-elected, but also retaking the House and keeping the Senate while the Democrats self-destruct.

****************************************************


I like your calm, rational explanation. Hope you are right.

Yes, but name-calling really doesn’t help anyone.

However, yes he is married to a Chinese.

Taiwan background, I believe.

Off topic, but read this book:

His wife’s parents are there and there’s a lot of money being moved among Kentucky, D.C., and China. Chao’s parents are heavily involved.

Chao and McConnell are in deep in many ways. If Trump is determined to drain the swamp, they’ll be exposed for the crooks they are and it ain’t gonna be pretty.

[McConnell's] going to:
1) tell how to impeach legally, since they’re not following any sort of judicial process.
2) tell them if they don’t follow a judicial process he’ll ignore or reject any impeachment charge they bring.

I think you're spot on ... and that if McConnell follows through with this it can be extremely effective ahead of the upcoming election.

There's nothing any Republican -- much less any Republican senator -- can do to stop the Democrat/Left on this. But by rejecting at the door of the Senate the impeachment referral for trial from the House McConnell will, in a most effective way, demonstrate and speak about just how illegitimate, unethical and corrupt the Democrat/Left-controlled House has acted. As for screaming about what the Democrat/Left is doing it's a battle McConnell cannot win -- Leftists are the masters of histrionics and screaming ... and at destroying their chances of electoral success.

No, it's better that McConnell wait until impeachment is in his lap ... but then he must emulate the President by acting fearlessly, forcefully and decisively in defense of the Constitution and our Republic.

I have no problem with Mitch sitting down and discussing it but if it goes further than that, then Mitch is playing with fire.

Dude, some of us don’t have to look it up. We were alive then. We remember.

There was a trial, and certain House Republicans were the prosecutors ... one of whom was none other than Lindsey Graham who was in the House at the time.

What have you been smoking?

There was a trial, there was a vote. Of course the Dems in the Senate stood by their man.

In fact, it was Hillary also standing by her man that allowed her to gain national prominence and the subsequent shot at Senator from New York.

It looks like McConnell will work against convicting the President. He’s probably going to tell the House what the Senate will and will not accept in regards to the formal legalities of impeachment. Hysteria here will do nothing more than to draw more Democrat flies to troll with more division tactics.

I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt for the time being.

Mitch to Yenta Schumer: “ Tell Pelosi if she brings that star chamber, kangaroo court, inquisition bullScfiff over here she won’t get her precious trial. We won’t even consider it.”

So the Turtle has accepted the idea that the Rats will be able to create an impeachable charge and the Turtle wants to be ready for when it comes time to defend the Rats...And prosecute Trump...

Mitch has to sit down with the minority and map out what will take place in the Senate once the House rams through their BS impeachment.

They are searching for grounds for a charge of impeachment...There's nothing for the Turtle to discuss with Schemer unless they've already agreed Trump will be impeached...
