As the Senate begins preparations for an impeachment trial next month, many Republican members are questioning the wisdom of having President Trump call witnesses and are instead discussing a speedy resolution

— 67 are required — so it would be unnecessary to extend a trial and risk the potential for weeks of partisan political fighting.

Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., said the public has already heard the evidence."We’ve heard everything up to this point three times," Braun said on NBC News Now. Trump"just says he wants to fully vindicate himself, so what that ends up being we don't know," Braun said.

Republicans would be wise to take a quick vote. They already have decided on how they will vote without seeing the evidence.

Speedy resolution? Moscow Mitch never intended to hold a trial. We should expect days of gaslighting and lies. Dems need to be prepared to counter their upcoming lie fest.

It doesn’t matter. realDonaldTrump guilty!

Well what does Putin say? Boom, dilemma solved, right GOP ? AmericaFirst !... after Donnie & Co.

Let him do a kangaroo court to save Trump. There will be 20 republican senators after 2020. People are not stupid. Injustices by the republicans on other people hurt. People will react.

Acually its some democrats who are calling off impeachment as the scam continues...

The only time someone accused of a crime refuses to defend themselves with witnesses and documents, is because those witnesses and documents will ONLY prove their guilt. That, and that they know THE JURY IS RIGGED. This is Trump and the GOP.

Speedy resolution indeed: the “motion to dismiss the impeachment case” will be carried out & therefore no trial necessary. And that is precisely what will happen.....Then u can complain about it till POTUS is re-elected, and for next 4years that follow.

Expect a ThreeRingCircus – lead by: MoscowMitch – NOT a Trial! 😅 DitchMitchTheCrookedBitch! 🙄 NoDemocracyInTheSenate! 😤

Senate trial could become major problem for McConnellFmr. Sen. Claire McCaskill and Chuck Rosenberg join Stephanie Ruhle to discuss the impending Senate trial, and detail how it could become a major headache for the Senate majority leader. SRuhle tear McConnell's ass up!!!! Not any...especially considering that not even one Republican in the House voted in support of it. It was going to be challenging if this whole witch hunt was bipartisan do you want him to say Trump is guilty with the same hearsay, second hand info and opinions that congress is doing?

Senate likely to take up impeachment trial after holiday recess, McConnell saysSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell confirmed on Tuesday that a potential impeachment trial in the Senate will take place right after the New Year, once senators return from a holiday recess. Live witnesses? As opposed to dead ones? Impeach Chump's azz in the House--and don't send it to the Senate. They are crooked and corrupt and will only cover up his crimes. The only question is... will Republicans investigate or have a sham trial designed to exonerate Trump no matter what Trump did? My guess, McConnell is planning a sham trial, with no respect for the US Constitution.
