The Latest: McConnell is undecided on impeachment vote
« on: January 13, 2021, 09:01:04 pm »
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the fallout from the attack of the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump loyalists (all times local):

3:15 p.m.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said in a note to his fellow Republican senators that he is undecided on whether President Donald Trump should be convicted if the House votes to impeach him.

McConnell said in the letter Wednesday: “While the press has been full of speculation, I have not made a final decision on how I will vote and I intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the Senate.”

The House is poised to vote to impeach Trump on Wednesday for a second time after he egged on a violent mob of his supporters who invaded the Capitol last week.

I'm sure his aides are receiving an ear full today.  Unfortunately, Mitch has already won re-election for the next two years.  He's 78 and his wife just vacated her seat.

I highly doubt that he could care less what happens.  He's been bought and paid for and has the $$ to live out the rest of his life more than comfortably.  I don't think he'll seek office again; he's up in years and he knows that the GOP is dead anyways.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

They just reached a 217 vote majority, so impeachment moves to the senate ...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said in a note to his fellow Republican senators that he is undecided on whether President Donald Trump should be convicted if the House votes to impeach him.


Perhaps McConnell should examine the evidence first.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

BREAKING: McConnell Rejects Emergency Session On Impeachment, All But Killing Push To Oust Trump

I rarely watch the news but watched it during dinner and they were talking of taking up a vote in the Senate on Inauguration Day. I assumed the vote would be taken before Sloe Joe is sworn in. They could vote to remove Trump so that he can never run again.  That is their goal and objective.

I believe Mitch and many other RINO's now have allegiance to their DEM country club.  I foresee them making a spectacle of the whole scene and actually filming Trump on national television being removed.  Then they'll swear in Joe.
Romans 12:16-21
