McConnell Lays Out Trump Impeachment Trial Timeline

An Internet Meme Finally Makes Mitch McConnell a Star - The Atlantic

While the left is split between wanting to hammer the final nail in Trump's coffin (through the Senate impeachment trial) and tending to its aggressive agenda of new laws, spending, and government control, U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued a statement today regarding his proposed timeline for the first phases of an impeachment trial of former president Trump.

“I have sent a proposed timeline for the first phases of the upcoming impeachment trial to Leader Schumer and look forward to continuing to discuss it with him.

“Senate Republicans are strongly united behind the principle that the institution of the Senate, the office of the presidency, and former President Trump himself all deserve a full and fair process that respects his rights and the serious factual, legal, and constitutional questions at stake. Given the unprecedented speed of the House’s process, our proposed timeline for the initial phases includes a modest and reasonable amount of additional time for both sides to assemble their arguments before the Senate would begin to hear them.

“At this time of strong political passions, Senate Republicans believe it is absolutely imperative that we do not allow a half-baked process to short-circuit the due process that former President Trump deserves or damage the Senate or the presidency.”

 

Specifically, Leader McConnell shared the following proposed pre-trial timeline with the Republican Conference today:

When the articles arrive, the House Managers would exhibit (read) the articles to the Senate, Senators would be sworn in the Members as the Court of Impeachment, and would issue a summons to former President Trump. While we do not know what day the Managers will choose, Leader McConnell has asked for this to occur on Thursday, January 28.

  • Mconnel is owned by his C.C.P. Daddy in law. HE'S THE FUCKING ENEMY WITHIN!

    • Yes he is, and deserving of being hanged for his TREASON!!!!!!!!!!

  • The definition of the United States is the Constitution. There is no other definition.
    The Constitution cannot be segmented. It must be applied in its whole. Suspending one
    part of the Constitution is suspending the entire Constitution.

    • Buddy, the deep state doesn't accept the Constitution.  They consider it an out of date irrelevent piece of fiction!!!!!

  • Ky how could you elect this man to high office?  Stop drinking that  Kentucky Burbon... it has definitely affected your judgment.  

  • This impeachment is unconstitutional it's a joke and McConnell should not even accept it show me where the constitution says a citizen can be impeached. We should impeached all those idiots who are supporting Antifa and BLM actions Republicans don't be chicken shit.

    • Lorenzo, they aren't chicken, they are complicit.  soros owns both political parties!!!!!  There are very few republicans who honor the Constitution and NO devildemocommiecrats!!!!!!!!!!

    • Members of Congress are not IMPEACHED they are Expelled... Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member." The processes for expulsion differ somewhat between the House of Representatives and the Senate.

    • Loenzo ... check it out: the impeachment has two parts: removal from office and barring future holding of office.

    • Lorenzo, he doesn't recognize the Constitution as valid.  he is a deep state TRAITOR who should be hanged for TREASON!!!!!!!!!!
