McConnell circulates procedures for second senate impeachment trial of Trump
The Hill ^ | 01/08/21 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 01/08/2021 7:48:07 PM PST by Brooklyn Attitude

Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday circulated to colleagues a memo outlining the procedure for holding another trial for President Trump if the House impeaches him for a second time in just over a year.

The document, which was first reported by The Washington Post, lays out how the Senate would proceed if the House approves articles of impeachment and transmits them to the upper chamber before or by Jan. 19, when senators are scheduled to resume regular business after the January recess.

Since our Vote has been declared to be totally meaningless, I will not have to worry about which RINO POS to not vote for in the future.

They can delay hearing after hearing on substantive crimes (Bidens for example) with hard evidence, but for a senseless impeachment there is no delay.

Yes it is possible. You can impeach a President after he leaves office. They are doing this to keep him from running again.

Actually, that's what the memo says.

At this stage, ANYONE who identifies themselves as a Republican (or identifies with the Republican Party) is part of the problem.

My bad — I’ve been so irritated with what’s been going on that I reacted without reading the entire article. Thanks for pointing out my haste without being snarky about it.

“Impeachment for what”?

Kangaroo Court impeachment.

If you read the article, he’s basically saying impeachment is impossible since they can’t do anything till Biden is in office, which would be meaningless.

You have to read past the headline, especially in today’s lib press.

They care. They care about not going to federal prison.

Would you rather they wait until the Democrat majority takes over so they can turn it into a show trial? Better to get it over with immediately.

It wouldn’t be meaningless. The Senate can disqualify him from future office if they convict.

“It wouldn’t be meaningless. The Senate can disqualify him from future office if they convict”.

Total elimination is their goal. You know what that means.

Many people here don’t understand how Communists operate.

Full blown treason is more like it.

So early for him to have chapped lips from kissing the behinds of Joe and Kamala. And will be wearing a Mao jacket starting Monday to fit in with the new bosses.

He gives innocent turtles a bad name. Maybe call him The Shell Game Guy.

The only thing they would be concerned about would be making him a martyr.

They don’t like martyrs unless it’s one of their own.

Will Nacy hasve time to order pens????

I read this as McConnel putting forth the process/procedure, if it were to occur. Nowhere does it say how he would vote on it.

Not sure but I heard she doubled the ice cream deliveries. Shows she is under stress.
