McConnell predicts Trump will beat impeachment: 'I'm pretty sure how it's likely to end'
By Alexander Bolton - 11/05/19 03:11 PM EST

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday predicted the Senate would acquit President Trump of any articles of impeachment passed by the Democratic-controlled House.

“How long it goes on really just depends on how long the Senate wants to spend on it,” McConnell told reporters when asked about the Senate trial procedures.

“I will say I’m pretty sure how it’s likely to end. If it were today, I don’t think there’s any question it would not lead to a removal,” he said.


“So the question is how long the Senate wants to take. How long do the presidential candidates want to be here on the floor of the Senate instead of Iowa and New Hampshire?” he said.

Agreed.  So if the rats are smart, they won't send articles of impeachment to the Senate until after the televised hearings.
