There’s no one at the Senate to receive the vote for impeachment. Senate is not in session until Tuesday. The earliest they would take up consideration of a trial is one hour after the inauguration. People attack McConnell but he’s the one who made it impossible for them to have a second show trial. If he was serious about voting to convict and remove, he would not have set the timeline in this fashion. He wanted that story leaked out there for his own political cover while he protected the Senate from the insanity of the House.
But this was in the house for a very long time before they voted. We got to watch vindman, et al destroy themselves. This time, a simple “we hate Trump” vote and, POOF, he’s impeached.
What a clown show.
When is Bitch officially out as senate leader?
I was listening on the radio - an interview with Washington State attorney general (maybe former??). He said that the impeachment trial could continue even if President Trump is out of office???
Although it might get interesting if President Trump could use it as a way of getting all of the information about the stolen election into the record.
It just pisses me off though - the attorney general was saying how President Trump’s accusations of a stolen election are false. Even if that is true - it has never been proven. No court will take it!
If President Trump would get rid of the nut job Lin Wood and others, (I wonder if Ted Cruz could represent the case??) - it could get real interesting if an impeachment trial carries into 2021.
They spent 2 hours deciding on this second impeachment - I’m guessing that they may not have considered all of the various aspects of the case.
