Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday circulated to colleagues a memo outlining the procedure for holding another trial for President Trump if the House impeaches him for a second time in just over a year.
The document, which was first reported by The Washington Post, lays out how the Senate would proceed if the House approves articles of impeachment and transmits them to the upper chamber before or by Jan. 19, when senators are scheduled to resume regular business after the January recess.

If he ordered a document dump, certainly some ‘patriot’ would refuse to follow orders and make the material available.
He’s following the CCP instructions via his wife.
I second what you're thinking.
Not me. I’m now registered to vote as un affiliated. Never sending another check or voting for anyone from the GOP or RNC. The end!
He always has been. Oh well. The GOP has willingly jumped in front of a train.
If they disenfranchise Presided Trump they are through.
“So...are we to STILL support the GOP? I mean, good grief!”
This is not only a pointless act against Trump, but a deliberate slap in the face to all his supporters. Can you even impeach an EX-President?
LOL! If there so sure of JoeJoe...why bother?
[Oh yeah. He’s terrified. Same with the Rats. Shaking in their boots.]
There has to be way more to this story,something is going down and they are trying to stop it.
Apparently they can impeach him after he leaves office.
The wife needs a job. That’s what Mitch is thinking here.
Desantis will need to receive special cachet. GOPMAGA.
exactly...
Wikileaks just made a HUGE dump. Hundreds of documents
Naturally the press will pretend nothing is there
Invite a Chinese “Peace Keeping” force to bring order to DC, make the takeover legit
And that will be the ABSOLUTE END of the Republican party if they go through with it.
Let’s let them know that in no uncertain terms.
Well yes, but this is not an example of treachery. You should read the article. The procedure the turtle circulated makes an actual impeachment impossible.
Senate Impeachment Rules require that at 1 p.m. on the day after the managers exhibit the articles, the Senate “must proceed to their consideration,” the memo states. As a result, the Senate trial would not begin until one hour after President-elect Joe Biden takes the oath of office.McConnell’s memo notes that the Senate, which is scheduled to hold pro-forma sessions until Jan. 19, the day before Biden is to take the oath of office, cannot conduct any business during those pro-forma meetings without unanimous consent.
So apparently impeachment is not possible. Pelosi is just senile and hysterical. And her party is what it is.

Bingo, you actually read the article and beyond the headline.
It tracks perfectly with what a real Constitutional Scholar wrote here:
