WASHINGTON — With the House headed to a vote to impeach President Donald Trump next week, Sen. Mitch McConnell was working hand in hand with the White House to make plans for a Senate trial, a proceeding steeped in tradition and rules, but one fraught with political peril for vulnerable Republicans.
Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., a member of the House Judiciary Committee who is being mentioned as a possible House manager during the impeachment trial, went one step further and called Friday for McConnell to recuse himself from the proceedings. Story continuesThe negotiations are likely to continue through the weekend as the House prepares for what is almost certain to be a party-line vote to impeach the president in connection with his campaign to enlist Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
“I understand their desire to just get it behind us, but the country needs to hear what a farce this was,” Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Friday. “They really need to bring in witnesses. They are the chance to clean this mess up.” Because the trial is unfolding 10 months before the 2020 presidential election, that makes for tricky politics. McConnell must be mindful of the wishes of vulnerable Republicans like Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Cory Gardner of Colorado, whose seats he wants to protect. If the Senate appears to be giving the impeachment short shrift or the trial turns into a spectacle instead of a solemn constitutional proceeding, those Republicans will suffer.

Mitch McConnell on impeachment: We’ll be in ‘total coordination’ with White HouseAs the House inches closer to impeaching President Donald Trump, the Senate is preparing for a trial, and the Republican leader Mitch McConnell told Fox News that there is no daylight between the Republican jurors and the White House. Just like the Dems and the DNC Hair on fire. I don't see how a Senate trial that's fixed by Moscow Mitch is helpful to Trump. Sure they'll let him stay President, but he'll be viewed by the public like O.J. Simpson or George Michael Zimmerman. Found not guilty, but everyone knows he's guilty as shit.

Giuliani seen at White House on day of impeachment voteNicolle Wallace comments on the 'brazeness' of Rudy Giuliani, who is at the heart of the Ukraine scandal, being seen walking around the White House on the day the House committee voted on impeachment articles. Will Giuliani represent the president at his Senate impeachment trial? What?! A lawyer and their client was seen together? The horror! 😳 Does it really matter? Trump can't do shit right with you jerks. 4 impeachment attempts in 3 years. The reality is, if the dems thought for a minute they had a chance to defeat DT in '20 they wouldn't be risking their political lives with this impeachment. Americans see that. As well as other attorneys preparing to expose the Dems and their corruption.
