Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said on Tuesday that it is unlikely that President Trump would be convicted and removed from office is he were to face a Senate impeachment trial today.
It takes two-thirds of the Senate to convict a president and remove him from office. That means at least 20 Republicans would have to vote to convict Trump if he is impeached by the Democrat-controlled House.
McConnell also questioned whether the six Democratic senators currently running for president in 2020 would want to take time off from campaigning to attend what could be a lengthy trial in the Senate.
“The question is how long the Senate wants to take,” he said. “How long do the presidential candidates want to be here on the floor of the Senate instead of Iowa and New Hampshire?”

DO NOT TRUST MITCH MCCONNELL.
MCCONNELL IS COMPROMISED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I expect that could be said of many of the members of Congress.
Mitch did not say much...just mentioned. Judges...
Mitch isn’t petty and stupid, he isn’t Paul Ryno
He’s both, actually. During a national emergency on the border McConnell is current blocking Cuccinelli for DHS due to his role in the Senate Conservative Fund and its attempts to primary GOP Senators a few years ago.
McConnell talks about judges because he has little else to trumpet. His tenure as majority leader will go down in history as highly inconsequential.
Of course it wouldn’t you idiot, but leaving the door open are you? YOU I REPEAT MYSELF - ARE AN IDIOT!!!! DAMN FOOL TO BOOT!!
How come there have numerous one after another an another of these hoaxes against TRUMP since he has been President - and not a damn thing to arise in the same time period to stick to the slime bastards - law breaking SOBs of the deep state and dems and others in the ABC orgs - nothing EVER EVER comes to to a head putting these *sshats where they belong nor any redacted or other info that surely exists to sully their reputations and give the world the truth!!!! Just why the hell is that still the case...get this sh*t out there NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone knows it is nothing more than a last ditch effort by Democrat politicians to nullify the 2016 Presidential Election before President Trump exposes the truth about them--the truth that will throw every last one of those thugs in jail!
Everyone knows it!
ALL honest people acknowledge it! The rest are complicit in this flagrant attempt to stage a coup d'état in the USA!
The Supreme Court should step in an put a stop to this infamy forthwith!
Impeachment is an HOR certainty. Sadly.
Removal by a Senate “conviction” better not be just “unlikely”, but also a certainty, Mitch.
Kind of a lame defense of someone who has been fighting for America’s future.
until the DimOcraps figure out how to powerpoint a fake picture of DJT committing the High Crime of Jaywalking,
they’ve got NOTHING on him. Nada. Nil.
and McConnell knows it
Mitch needs to stick with getting more conservative judges placed. That’s about all we need from him.
Your mistake is assuming they are all conservative judges. McConnell and the Senate GOP have blocked several Trump nominated conservatives to other posts. Fed, DNI, now DHS, etc., etc.
Last term? That's it?! It's no wonder the left laughs at conservatives. If Trump is convicted in the Senate after being impeached, there had better be something more than just removing RINOs via the ballot box. It will be far too late to help.
IMHO McTurtle and the rest of the gang of 8 are up to their neck in the spying on Trump during the campaign and soft coupe attemt since.
That is exactly what is going on here. The coup is bipartisan in nature. When POTUS floated the idea removing the hopelessly recused Sessions he was publicly threatened by the GOP Senate not to do that. Never forget that. Never forgive that.
McConnell is scared of the Trump supporters. He’d better be.
His appearance last night was really really off. His heart wasn’t in it. No energy, totally phoning it in. I don’t trust this guy one bit. Every one forgets he was a Democrat who switched so he could win. If he had his choice he would remove Trump in a second. Thank God he’s up in 20 because that might be the only thing that saves Trump from the punks treachery.
McConnell is scared of the Trump supporters. He’d better be.
But the discovery and cross-examination would be a hoot.
“What about tomorrow...Mitch wants Trump gone...he is as corrupt as Biden”
total bullshit ...
The Rats have made investigations and the impeachment drama play just an extension of their campaign. This will do lasting harm to the US. If the Dems and their collaborationist Republican allies remove President Trump, they need to know that there will be a very high possibility that American Patriots will remove the US Congress well before the 2020 election.
The Turdle had better get his mind right.
If Trump goes down, so does the GOP.
Trump voters will abandon the GOP
at ALL levels.
Everytime McConnell does this, he’s simply telling the Rats how much work they have to do, wittingly or unwittingly. He’s not saying ‘you’re wasting your time’, rather ‘we’re not there yet, keep up the pressure and I’ll give you another update next week’.
