Senator Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) on Tuesday said he doesn’t have the votes to block a resolution to allow witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial, according to multiple reports.

McConnell made the admission in talks with Senate Republicans after President Trump’s defense team concluded its arguments.

So utterly predictable, and involving the usual RINO suspects.

Why are repubs such limp dic* poltroons ?

[P.O.E.]

Thanks for the info.

Trump will be removed, and in the midst of a pandemic. You guys can forget rebellion! Another prediction I made.

Sucks too, best president ever.

National Review - CNN?
Who can tell the difference these days?

he real question is:

Why did Mitch inform the world that he hasn’t the votes to win a procedural resolution ( 51)?

a) The let the Dems know that if they vote, then Biden, whistleblower, Adam Schiff , IG for NSA, etc. will be called as witnesses?

b) to let the Dems know that he will succumb to the latest Media leaks so they wont bring another set of leaks and then bring his majority as surprise?

c)to bring public pressure on Romney, Collins, Murkowski to get in line with the rest of the GOP?

d) to signal the Presidents legal team to prepare a witness request list?

e) to inform the public that the Senate will be tied up for months with this impeachment trial?

Its now mirrors within mirrors. Mitch is wily. To tell the truth, very few know what Mitch has up his sleeve.Not even the Dems.
