Dismiss them. No trial for you: come back one year.
McConnell finally grew a pair.
Nancy knows how badly they screwed up and now the Senate is going to make it right.
Dismissal!!
“Doesn’t everyone think this is a crazy moved by the democrats?”
It should have been expected by all. Perfectly logical from the Dem’s twisted point of view.
This is the end of the greatest political hustle in our history.
Once the Senate gets the articles, they can shred them for what they are, nonsense. For all the voters to see. The Dems would be fully exposed in their hate of Trump.
And then........worst of all for the Dems....an acquittal.
Along the way, if Rudi comes up with legit crimes from the Bidens that gets tossed in for the media to ruminate about.
Also, by playing keep-away, the Dems get what they need most, time to manuever and shape the battlefield.
This is a brilliant but warped move to keep the Dems relevant while they stumble towards finding a nominee.
Whom ever did believe that there would be a conviction? With Pence becoming President and just enough time to win the next election? Pence would gather all the Rep revenge votes and all the Independents’ sympathy votes.
I believe that Pelosi and Schiff had this hustle planned from the beginning.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gave an excellent presentation with this speech.
When she does, burn them on the steps of congress.
Hypocrisy, they name is Pelosi.
I think that what we experienced last night was the the sequel to Moby Dick with the same outcome.
The Speedy Trial Clause of the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “[i]n all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy trial”
The Clause protects the defendant from delay between the presentation of the indictment or similar charging instrument and the beginning of trial.
In a news conference late Wednesday, Pelosi declined to say when she would send the articles to the Republican-led Senate. Until the articles are submitted, the Senate cannot hold the trial.
There's no Constitutional requirement for that. The Articles are public record.
They should call for her censure and dismissal for sending up such frivolous charges
