Mitch McConnell Is Fully Prepared to Shut Democrats Out of Impeachment

to the House Judiciary Committee, which will draft articles of impeachment. But while the process has so far been a Democratic-dominated affair—no Republicans on the Intelligence Committee voted to advance the report—Republicans may soon be the ones calling the shots. Senate Majority Leadersuggested Tuesday that when impeachment makes its way to the Senate for a trial, he's prepared to let his slim GOP majority take the reins on setting the rules.

McConnell's potential decision to force the impeachment procedure through with only Republican support would stand in stark contrast to former President's impeachment trial, in which a bipartisan compromise on the trial rules passed in a vote of 100-0. Schumer, for his part, hopes McConnell’s partisan contingency plan won’t come to pass.

This isn't the first time that McConnell and his GOP cronies have raised the specter of inserting partisan politics into the impeachment trial, as Republicans have previously suggested they’re open to scheduling the trial in a way that wouldthe Democratic senators running for president.

Before impeachment makes its way to the Senate, of course, the proceedings will first pass through the House Judiciary Committee. And as the committee’s work kicks off Wednesday with a public hearing, House Republicans havewill make their presence known. “It’s a bunch of brawlers sometimes on the Judiciary Committee, so it should get pretty hot under the collar as we go along,” Republican committee member Rep.said Sunday on Fox News.

What an evil look....

There's no move too low for 'ol Mitch.

And that smile, that looks like someone Really happy at others' misfortune.

Should be sign for SpeakerPelosi and HouseDemocrats to hold on to the impeachment bill until some more dirt comes out of their current investigations, not to add articles, but to pressure Senate GOP & Mitch, at least until it's too late for GOP to elect someone else

senatemajldr Mitch McConnell is a great leader - said no one ever of MoscowMitch GOPTraitors

House Dems should start each hearing day next week by reciting their Oath of Office and each hearing by reading their Article 1 Impeachment responsibility and Article 2 crimes for Impeachment. Make the newsreaders talk about actual Constitutional duties.

He's a criminal,he's an accomplice,you can go to jail for that.

way to go MoscowMitch proving once again you are one of the GOPTraitors how does anyone think you are a leader?

The latest on the Trump impeachment inquiry - CNNPoliticsHouse Democrats are actively preparing for the next steps in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. Follow here for the latest. Even if you hate FOX News and Trump (sorry Nancy, the hate is palpable despite your pious protests)...one can’t argue with the numbers. CNN is willing to go broke in its efforts to unseat a duly elected president. Unbelievably tragic what hate can do... Imagine all the good that could be done if Democrats would stop obsessing about impeaching trump. Maybe we could fix veterans health care, or investigate people that actually commit crimes. Trump cares so little he isn’t even sending a lawyer.
