Why? Why oh why would anyone not want and crave a trial in the Senate.
Trump gets his legal team, Trump gets his witnesses, Trump gets to expose for all to see what a sham this is and Mitch gets to shut the dems down anytime he wants.
Mitch, just signaled it will be very fast.
I highly doubt he will have the opportunity you are talking about.
Mitch would not preside over the trial, Chief Justice Roberts would.
I agree with you in principal.
The problem though I imagine is some Republican Senators would get ensnared.
Sure Trump’s legal team would get shots and Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, et al., but they’ll burn the place down if they have to.
Hillary:
“No, I did not set up the consulting firm to funnel billions in influence money from China by myself.”
“Mitch McConnell and his wife helped me set it up.”
“It was all approved after we traveled to Beijin in the fall of 2009”
“Why oh why would anyone not want and crave a trial in the Senate.”
This is so cut and dry that just as soon as the liberals in the house present their charges and accusations, they will be shut down because they don’t reach the level of impeachment of high crimes because Trump was doing exactly what the treaty between the two countries laid out when Clinton signed it in the late 90’s.
They have every right, if they can produce a 2/3 majority vote, to present a case in the senate. I personally hope it gets that far so they can be shut down and it can be displayed they have spent 3 to 4 years time wasting taxpayer money and services. Then it’s, “Goodbye 2020!”
And with it, every so called conservative house member that voted for it can be cut off from GOP funding for trying to harm the POTUS. Let’s see just how good they are without their sugar daddy assistance.
