Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, speaking from the chamber’s floor Friday, rejected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s efforts to shape a pending impeachment trial as “fantasy”—leaving the process at a standstill as lawmakers return from the holiday recess.
“Their turn is over. They’ve done enough damage. It’s the Senate’s turn now to render sober judgment,” McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor.
But he stressed that the chamber cannot hold a trial unless and until the House of Representatives transmits the two articles of impeachment adopted last month, accusing President Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress pertaining to his dealings with Ukraine. Pelosi, D-Calif., has held onto them in a bid to seek favorable terms for a trial, including the involvement of certain Democrat-sought witnesses.

Her feet need to be held to the fire over this.
ReplyDeleteThe people should demand their money back from the bank Accounts of every democrook who voted yea, at gunpoint if that's what it takes
ReplyDeleteThe dumbocrats and especially Pelosi think they are the rulers of everything.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to take them back to reality.
McConnell, no trial necessary. Dismiss the charges, like any trial judge would do if the "state" refuses to file them. Hell, it's not even an impeachment (indictment). if the state doesn't file the charges. Nancy has gone full fledged looney on this impeachment thing. I truly believe she sees the handwriting on the wall, and knows she is going to lose the House for a second time under her leadership. This IS her last power play hurrah, and she knows it. But she can't win, and just doesn't know what to do. Goodbye Nancy, for the second time.
