Biden wants Democrats to keep Trump trial short
By Amie Parnes and Alexander Bolton - 01/30/21 06:00 AM EST

President Biden’s message to Senate Democratic leaders on former President Trump’s upcoming impeachment trial is clear: Keep it short and don’t let it derail his agenda.

Biden has never embraced Trump’s second impeachment though he hasn’t sought to stand in its way either amid outrage in his party over the former president’s involvement in the Jan. 6 mob attack on the Capitol.

Yet he and his team have always been cognizant of the risks of a trial so early in his term as he seeks to win a deal on a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.


It’s also clearer now that it was two weeks ago that the impeachment will not end with Trump’s conviction.

This was in question early on, but a Senate vote this week in which only five Republicans voted against tabling a motion calling the trial unconstitutional made it certain the Senate will not win the two-thirds vote necessary for conviction.

Biden administration officials and allies close to the White House say the president will distance himself from Trump’s trial as it begins in the second week of February.

Don't worry Joe, it will be short.  Mostly to limit any testimony on election fraud and evidence the riot was planned in advance.

Leahy:  "Trial now in session.  For the sake of the country, this will not be a prolonged trial so we will dispense with either side's arguments and will go directly to voting.

Who is in favor of finding him guilty?"

Oh, pa-leese ... Biden has no idea what's going on.  If anyone is curious about what he wants, ask Susan Rice.
