Dems plan marathon prep for Senate trial, wary of Trump trying to 'game' the process
By Mike Lillis - 01/17/20 09:24 PM EST

The House Democrats prosecuting the impeachment of President Trump are planning a marathon preparation session ahead of next week's Senate trial, using the long holiday weekend to polish their case that the president abused his power in his dealings with Ukraine.

The seven impeachment managers tapped to make the Democrats' case before the Senate will return to Washington on Sunday to dig through the extensive record built over the course of the months-long investigation that led to Trump's impeachment last month, according to aides working on impeachment.

They'll be joined by staffers and counselors for the Intelligence, Judiciary and Oversight committees, all working to "refine" their arguments before taking their case to the Senate trial, with launches in earnest on Tuesday. The extensive preparations will include a walk-through of the Senate chamber.

They're worried Trump will try to 'game' the trial.

I still can't believe someone would actually write this sh*t.

How exactly would the President "game" a Senate process presided over by the Chief Justice of the USSC? Other than demonstrating by evidence that the whole impeachment is a partisan sham, of course.
