FTA: "President Trump’s impeachment trial won’t be heard in the Senate until after he has already left office and Joe Biden is president, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell confirmed.
The House of Representatives will vote later Wednesday on an article of impeachment accusing Trump of inciting an insurrection during last week’s Capitol riot, but the Senate is not due to reconvene until Jan. 19 — the day before Biden’s inauguration.
Democrats desperate to have the matter heard in the upper chamber as swiftly as possible lobbied McConnell (R-Ky.) to take up the matter while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) explored a 2004 rule that would have allowed him to recall the chamber in an emergency."
lol, even after Trump is gone and the point is moot they can still tap in to that sweet sweet Trump hate for extra political points.
But does Mitch know that Trump will not be leaving office ???
Time will tell.
But I still don't trust him.
OMG. I hadn't considered this. They may be trying Trump for impeachment BECAUSE he will retain office.
no shit, and if impeached again he can't run a 3rd time, not like he would.
He could be "impeached" every day and it would have zero impact on his continuing the job or running for another term in the future.
You cant impeach a citizen that no longer holds office
He's already been impeached after the vote of the House today. They won't be able to remove him from office if he's not still President of course; but if he's found guilty by the Senate he will be ineligible to hold any Federal office ever again.
Well, they think they can I guess. This is really all about not letting Trump run again. Nothing more. They are afraid of him.
McConnell better stay in line or else his bitch wife will be exposed as a Chinese spy. Pelosi’s father and brother were just exposed so she’s pissed off!
Nancy Annuciata Patricia D'Alesandro. Father was Italian, born in MD. Longtime Congressman and mayor of Baltimore. Grandfather born in south Italy. Wonder if any family members were involved in the Italian interference in the 2020 US elections? It will be interesting to see how all the connections play out once the truth is out.
He brother is a kid fucker that was covered up by their father while he was mayor. Sick fucking family.
I read the first 40 pages of that 300+ document dump. He father had "connections" to the mob.
Let the threats to mcconnel's life and family commence, ooops, that was insurrection.
I think the "hunters" in KY need to practice their targets....
McConnell continues to play white hat/black hat rolls ... a conflicted man.
Mitch is 100% China, no conflict, ask his wife and racehorses.
McConnell will be hearing the case from behind bars in Gitmo.
Chuckie will be doing the "honors". Hopefully tho, he will be defending himself from life in Gitmo.
In four years? Good grief! Give it a rest!
