NEW: Senate Minority Leader Schumer has made an offer to Senate Majority Leader McConnell on the parameters of an impeachment trial that include calling fmr. national security adviser Bolton and acting White House chief of staff Mulvaney to testify.

that wraps before witnesses are called, indicating that he hopes he has the support of 51 senators for a speedy resolution. In comments to Sean Hannity of Fox News last week, he said he and the president’s counsel are working closely, and that he hoped that in the Senate, there would not be “a single Republican who votes for either of these articles of impeachment.”appeared to have pre-judged the proceedings.

Schumer also proposed that the Senate issue subpoenas on a ”narrowly drawn” request that is “neither burdensome or time-consuming” of electronic communications and memoranda of relevant officials in the White House, OMB and State Department. Schumer and McConnell are expected to meet early this week to discuss the details of how a Senate trial would work. If no agreement is reached between the leaders, then the Senate would vote at each step of the process. Each vote would require the support of 51 senators.

Schumer proposed that the Senate proceedings begin on Jan. 6, 2020, with the swearing-in of Chief Justice John Roberts, who will preside over the proceedings — as well as the senators who will serve as jurors — occurring ‪on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2020‬.

Sorry, just like in the House. You “are not recognized” SenSchumer

The shoes on the other foot crying chuckie

senatemajldr is still giggling about what that jackass wants. Literally ZERO chance McConnell cooperates with this fool.

😂😂😂

WHO CARES WHAT CHUCK WANTS!

Turnabout is fair play. Losers.

Perhaps more time is needed before this is sent over to the Senate... Pretty sure more facts and or Tweets from the President will surface to further educate.

EVERY witness that was called should testify, or Dems should take John Dean's Advice !

We need to hear from fact witnesses that were blocked.. Put it all out on the table. We have a right to know as American citizens.

That's funny, No it's our turn now Chuck

Lol

Tell them No like Democrats did Republicans in the house !

MikenzieFrost I hope they drag this out for months, that will pull all the senators off the campaign trail while the trial is going... Let’s call Adam shift and everyone that they called plus others! Time for Democrats to learn cheaters never win🖕🖕

What about Schiff and the whistleblower?

That has got to be a joke being Schiff refused the Republicans list of witnesses

Why should Dems dictate what happens in the Senate when Dems wouldn’t allow much feedback from Republicans in the house. House could’ve called those witnesses but they just couldn’t wait

So sorry chuckie you are minority and have no say. Screw you

McConnell is a coward and is not going to let any Democrats get their way. He’s just going through the motions.

Or if he ignores you like he will stop passing shit with him Stoped the space force bs

Is Christine Blasey Ford not available?

Bolton is another HEARSAY-OPNION witness just like the rest. Mulvaney can simply imply aid was withheld due to a NEOPHYTE UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT. Trump has every right to tell Zelenaky YOU ARE SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH THE SAME (CORRUPT) PEOPLE that's why ais was put off

Wait....... Who told Chuckles he actually matters here?

Who cares what SenSchumer wants...he only needs to look at the circus SpeakerPelosi ran in the House she is losing in November
