With the botox drunk Pelosi getting ready to finally send the sham articles of impeachment to the Senate later this week, it appears the trial to acquit Trump will begin next week.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Tuesday that “in all likelihood” the upper chamber’s impeachment trial will begin next Tuesday.
“We’ll be able to go through some preliminary steps here this week, which could well include the Chief Justice coming over and swearing-in members of the Senate and some other kind of housekeeping measures…which would set us up to begin the actual trial next Tuesday,” said McConnell.
The announcement comes after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told lawmakers that she will transmit two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — to the Senate on Wednesday, clearing the final hurdle for a trial against President Donald Trump to begin.
Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) said Pelosi also would hold a vote on the House’s trial managers Wednesday. Other Democrats said the speaker did not name the managers at the meeting.
Pelosi said Friday she would send the articles of impeachment to the Senate this week, ending a weeks-long impasse with McConnell.
The Democrat from California has delayed sending the articles to the Senate since the House voted to impeach President Trump on December 18. Pelosi said last week she’d withhold the articles until McConnell unveiled a resolution detailing the guidelines for the Senate impeachment trial, including whether witnesses and new evidence would be allowed.
