McConnell: Senate impeachment trial to start next Tuesday
By Alexander Bolton - 01/14/20 02:45 PM EST

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says the Senate will begin debating an organizing resolution to start the Senate trial on Tuesday of next week.

The GOP leader said Chief Justice John Roberts will swear in senators as jurors this week, before the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

McConnell said the House is expected to send over articles of impeachment on Wednesday and the Senate will then have to go through a series of preliminary steps and housekeeping measures.


“We hope to achieve that by consent, which would set us up to begin the actual trial next Tuesday,” the GOP leader added.

So the mockery of a sham of a farce continues. The articles are flimsy and set a bad precedent.
Principles matter. Words matter.

Actually this is a good, borderline great thing. First witness to be called must be the "Whistleblower," Followed by Schiff, Both Bidens, Jerry Nadler, and Pelosi. Have Trey Gowdy or Ted Cruz question them for hours on end, make sure it is televised, and not just on C-Span. Lett he public see just how weak the charges are and just how guilty the Bidens are. Once the Bidens are done being questioned have the FBI there it put them in cuffs and leg irons to be frog marched out.

IMO, this should be dragged out as long as possible. That would leave Biden, Buttigieg, and the two billionaires as the only ones campaigning for the nomination. The Senators are forced to put aside all business while the trial is ongoing. After a few days of being off the campaign trail, they will become desperate, looking to Mitch to cut a deal to end this charade.

It's not like there's any pressing business before Congress that can't be handled with a CR come October, November, or December. That's how they've been conducting business for far too long.

I would also like to see obozo called so he can verify the accuracy of Biden's video tape.
