Gotta keep up the illusion that the GOP might vote to remove him so the House will vote to impeach.
The Senate has become our very own House of Lords.
FWIW, I don’t trust a sodding single one of them.
ps. Since the House is not likely to vote to impeach, this is all pointless chatter.
Reading up on procedures for a Senate trial. Good news is President Trump can cal witnesses and cross-examine witnesses. Bad news is he can be impeached by a 2/2 vote of Senators PRESENT. If GOP Senators take the coward’s way out (and they will), 25 of them can arrange to be out of town on family business. Or the traitors can make sure they are detained.
That means only 75 Senators are present and 50 votes are needed to convict. That’s 45 Democrats, 2 independents and only 3 GOP Senators. Romney, Sasse and Murkowski.
Neither will happen. Think about it. House would have to give Republicans subpoena powers, the public would see what has been going on and that would sink the whole operation.
Worst case, if they succeeded there would occur a hot civil war that would make Gettysburg look like a Boy Scout jamboree. Libs, regardless of their protective services, would find themselves getting a last smoke and a blindfold. Who's side do you think the military would join? Unfortunately Russia and China would benefit while the USA is weakened to the point of needing the last rites of what has now become an almost defunct Roman Catholic Church. JMHO
that’s it- plain and simple...
Fake news from the Swamp. I wish a pox on the Swamp and wish for it to dry out and die.
