Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday that the Senate cannot dismiss the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, meaning there will be a trial.
“I don’t think there’s any question that we have to take up the matter. The rules of impeachment are very clear, we’ll have to have a trial. My own view is that we should give people the opportunity to put the case on,” McConnell told reporters after being asked about dismissing the articles of impeachment.
Most Republican senators refused to rule out voting to remove Trump from office in an impeachment trial over the Ukraine scandal when contacted by the Daily Caller at the end of October.

“How the Senate can stop a purely partisan impeachment
With 51 votes and the ‘Reid Rule,’” Johnston continued, “McConnell could first block the filibuster on any motion to proceed and then move to dismiss any article of impeachment with a simple majority.”
Which means there would be no trial — the political equivalent of a mistrial to throw into the mix already including the two-plus years of the Mueller hunt and the ongoing inquiry of U.S. Attorney John Durham into “Russiagate” as the country approaches the 2020 election.
This process — the refusal by the Senate to approve a “Motion to Proceed” — is how the Senate should flush articles of impeachment from the record as it stands today. Invite the House to begin again if it wants to, but using due process if it does, and backed by a bipartisan majority.
So Mitch will have a trail...bet they impeach trump

Criminal State on display.
Cocaine Mitch and his 2 dozen RINO Deep Staters want Trump out ASAP before the 2020 election.
The communist coup d’etet continues...
So much for Linda’s DOA. These bastards.
Stupid Turtle.

I bet not
The senate will not remove President Trump
And if the trial is going to go on, it will destroy more democrats then destroy President Trump.
Remember President Trump is the man made of mud, throwing mud at him does nothing, but throwing mud at the democrats and all involved will destroy them in 2020
Watch and see.
I’d like to see them hold a preliminary vote, just to see how many will vote to remove Trump even before a trial. that would show how many are giving Trump the presumption of innocence.
I think a Trial in the Senate where the Senate Dis-Allows ALL Witnesses brought forth by the Democrats, Object to Every Question they Ask while Giving Republicans Carte Blanche to bring forth ANY Witness and ask ANY question would be a lot of fun.
Trust Sessions and “The Plan” remember! /INSANITY
He doesn’t really know; he has been ALL OVER the ballpark on this ...
The Bidens do the crime and Trump will do the time , LOL , yep it’s the Dem upside down World
“So Mitch will have a trail...bet they impeach Trump”
I’ll take the bet (I’m serious) what odds are you giving?
All of this waste of the taxpayer’s $$$$. For what?? These people are so so jealous of our President and his family.
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Clause Six grants to the Senate the sole power to try impeachments and spells out the basic procedures for impeachment trials. The Supreme Court has interpreted this clause to mean that the Senate has exclusive and unreviewable authority to determine what constitutes an adequate impeachment trial.[41] Of the nineteen federal officials formally impeached by the House of Representatives, eleven were acquitted and seven were convicted by the Senate. On one occasion (in the case of Senator William Blount) the Senate declined to hold a trial, asserting that it had no jurisdiction over its own members.[42]
The constitution's framers vested the Senate with this power for several reasons. First, they believed Senators would be better educated, more virtuous, and more high-minded than Members of the House of Representatives and thus uniquely able to decide responsibly the most difficult of political questions. Second, they believed that the Senate, being a numerous body, would be well suited to handle the procedural demands of an impeachment trial, in which it, unlike judges and the judiciary system, would "never be tied down by such strict rules, either in the delineation of the offense by the prosecutor, or in the construction of it by judges, as in the common cases serve to limit the discretion of courts in favor of personal security." (Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist No. 65).[43]
There are three Constitutionally mandated requirements for impeachment trials. The provision that Senators must sit on oath or affirmation was designed to impress upon them the extreme seriousness of the occasion. The stipulation that the Chief Justice is to preside over presidential impeachment trials underscores the solemnity of the occasion and aims to avoid the conflict of interest of a Vice President's presiding over the proceeding for the removal of the one official standing between him (or her) and the presidency. The latter consideration was regarded to be quite important in the eighteenth century - political parties had not yet formed when the Constitution was adopted, and with the original method of electing the President and Vice President it was presumed that the two men elected to those offices would frequently be political rivals. The specification that a two-thirds super-majority vote of those Senators present in order to convict was also thought necessary to facilitate serious deliberation and to make removal possible only through a consensus that cuts across factional divisions.[43]
Watch the GOP Senate let the minority run the trial.
It’s a good thing we can trust these crooks. [insert eyeroll here]
