TL;DR The Senate will follow the House model, and completely avoid any pretense of bipartisanship.

Maybe Democrats shouldn't have rushed through the scam impeachment inquiry claiming eminent danger and then sitting on it for over a month! SMFH Senate is in charge now! LANDSLIDE2020 MAGA

It's not a question of rules, it's a question of fairness.

Hell ya Cocaine Mitch greatest Senator in US history!!!!!!!!!!!

When Senate offices re-open Tuesday, you can call senators in competitive states and ask that all relevant evidence and witnesses be included : Susan Collins 202-224-2523 Lisa Murkowski 202-224-6665 Cory Gardner 202-224-5941 Martha McSally 202-224-2235 Thom Tillis 202-224-6342

Is McConnell going to defend the Constitution or cave to a criminal and associates? Americans will find the truth! 💞🇺🇸🦅

.I predict no witnesses, no new evidence, no cameras, two day trial, equital. Everyone will shrug and move on. Sadly.

Dems had enough evidence to impeach* but now need more evidence 🤨🤨🤨🤨

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.
