The Senate is poised to launch into an impeachment trial for President Trump as early as next Tuesday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said, as warring factions on Capitol Hill ended an impasse that had left the entire process in limbo for nearly four weeks.

Congress is in control; of the Senate.

Mitch McConnell could have ended this weeks ago....he could have protected voters who voted for this POTUS and he could have helped his President. He did neither.

If the Dems want to call witnesses, than Trump has every right to call whoever he wants, and that includes Schiff, Joe Biden, and his son..if they refuse to testify, than NO ONE should testify!

Mitch McConnell is for Mitch McConnell.

He helps Trump get his Judges in place because that's part of Mitch's enduring legacy.

I'm pretty sure Trump knows this. But hey, we're getting Constitutionalist judges in place - we'll take it.

Were ‘both sides’ allowed to call witnesses in the house?

Stupid Mitch needs to use the house rules against them, not capitulate to Romney and Murkowski and the other RINOs.

How much you wanna bet that no one calls Schiff or either Biden to testify under oath?

Clarification to My #4, based on your post: How much you wanna bet no Republican senator calls Schiff or either Biden to testify under oath?

I do believe you’re right that President Trump’s team will fight back hard. I have very little faith in the senators.

If no one is going to testify, than there is zero point to have this circus.

Bill Clinton trial was one week .
No witnesses .
So China Mitch wants a trash Trump fir 2 months before the 2020 election .
I guess his Chinese owner gave these orders .

This is why Nancy is happy to send the articles over .
Chuck is in charge now .

Its time to primary and remove this Never Trumper .
And a few others like Collins , Gardner , ....

Mitch may want to lose the senate to stop Trump for his Globalist psks

This is actually very simple Swamp calculus:

Either Granny Box Wine has made McConnell her b*tch, or Yertle is gonna make her his b*tch.

If Granny Wine Box comes out on top, Mitch can kiss the Senate goodbye - the House will be filling it with phony "impeachable offenses" for the rest of the year.

A lot riding on this one for Leader McConnell...

Why is “both sides” in quotes? Trump’s side doesn’t count?

Gardner and Collins think they can win without Trump voters because they were not primaried.

What role would Chief Justice Roberts play in a possible trial? Based on his decisions on Obamacare and the exclusion of a question on the 2020 Census involving citizenship, Roberts is likely compromised. Can he use his position as presiding judge to disallow testimony by the Bidens or Eric Ciamarella while allowing the witnesses Schiff used to testify?
