At this point, it’s pretty much a forgone conclusion that the socialist Democrats have the votes in the House to impeach. Since only a 1 vote majority is needed, the so called “moderate” Democrats will prove yet again that they are not moderates and vote with AOC, Omar and Pelosi to impeach. When the trial gets to the Senate, it’s now being reported that McConnell will hearing the opening remarks, then dismiss the impeachment. I don’t like McConnell, but this is probably the best idea instead of a long drawn out trial.
| McConnell to dismiss impeachment after opening arguments? |

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) hinted in a speech on the Senate floor Tuesday morning that the Senate will move to dismiss the pending articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump after opening arguments in the expected trial.
McConnell was reacting to a proposal by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday that the Senate call four additional, in-person witnesses that were not called, or not available, during the House inquiry, led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA).
But McConnell dismissed that suggestion out of hand, arguing that Schumer was trying to make “Chairman Schiff’s sloppy work more persuasive.”
McConnell accused Schumer of going straight to the news media with his proposals rather than speaking to him in person, as Senate leaders had done in the past.
He also noted that Schumer had misquoted the Constitution. The Democrat leader had claimed the Constitution gave the Senate “sole Power of Impeachment,” whereas Article I, Section 3 actually states, “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.”
“We don’t create impeachments over here … we judge them,” he declared.
