With the Senate impeachment trial slated to begin Tuesday, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin says there hasn’t even been “the most basic negotiation” between Republican and Democratic senators.

called the impeachment process its own form of election interference aimed at wresting Trump from power unfairly.

“The Articles themselves — and the rigged process that brought them here — are a transparently political act by House Democrats."In the weeks since the House voted to impeach Trump in mid-December, there have been a flurry of new reports on the subject at the heart of impeachment — allegations that Trump leveraged official power to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump’s potential 2020 presidential opponent.

Also appearing on “Meet the Press,” Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., said that the Senate will hear opening arguments and ask questions before deciding whether to take on the task of calling new witnesses.

I agree history will destroy those who try and do the wrong thing. It is time to stand for our constitution not for any man or party.

Too bad John McCain is gone. He could reremind Moscow Mitch what he thinks about legislating like that.

Giving you the same respect the Dems gave the House Reps. Deal with it.

Republican Senators don't care about their reputation or how history will write their story. Stop appealing to a deaf ear.

Mitch baby doesn't care. Whatever is being covered up it must be a doozy.

Durban “warns”. ....lol!! Another piece of work from a looser state. Illinois broke embarrassing and will never recover from the mess it’s in! He should try to fix it!

yeah well some guys don't negotiate...

Chuck Todd is not an effective one on one interviewer. Too often in pursuit of the next question, he fails to address the last question asked. Would like to see NBC join 21st Century. How about rotating co hosts like Savannah Guthrie, Nicolle Wallace, or, Andrea Mitchell?

Yah ! McConnell n the few r lump twump larceny dishonest unlawful stagnant greasy palm group stomping on All USA Citizens USA Laws USA Constitution !!!!!!!

Good news!! Close this crap show down immediately!

DickDurbin is a 🤡. History will show that the HouseDemocrats performed the most reprehensible act of any US House and the complete disregard of The Constitution by TheDemocrats POTUS will go down as the most challenged President and the most accomplished 🇺🇸🇺🇸Trump2020

The HouseDemocrats had the responsibility of performing due diligence and failed. It’s not the responsibility of the SenateGOP SenateDems to do the house’s job. That’s not how this serious matter works.. insert appropriate fist bump

That’s because MoscowMitch senatemajldr is a traitorous snake that sold his soul to Benedict realDonaldTrump so he can accomplish his dream of flooding our judicial system with a bunch of racist unqualified criminals to ensure their agend takes priority over real justice

Senate is a highly respected place and they should always first do the welfare of every single US citizen so that they can prosper out of every difficulty, job security and their future...

Negotiation ? They don't even speak the same language despute the fact that they are all Americans. Thanks to IMPEACHED 45TH SCUM IN CHIEF, the RepaRats and Dems are behaving like the Hatfield–McCoy feud... each side waiting to take the other down by whatever means possible.

Moscow Mitch, Leader of the Cover Up

DickDurbin is a Natural Socialist 👇🏼

Trump assembles made-for-TV legal team for Senate impeachment trialKen Starr, who was described by Pres. Trump in 1999 as 'a disaster,' has now been named to the president's defense team for the coming Senate impeachment trial. Does Trump actually even have a legal team? It seems more like a clown show to me. Who needs real lawyers when the trial is rigged. It’s been 20 years, don’t you think people change and become better? Even you guys used to be a news network 20 years ago.
