Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) office told Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) staff on Wednesday that the GOP will not agree to reconvene the Senate before Jan. 19 to allow an impeachment trial while President Trump is still in office.

A senior Senate Republican aide confirmed that McConnell’s office reached out to Schumer’s office to relay the message that Republicans will not agree to a Friday session to enable House Democrats to present articles of impeachment to the Senate while Trump is in office. LINK

I just hope this doesn't save Mitch. He really, really, needs to get the boot.

No, the cocaine turtle needs to be put on his back. But he is still useful for the second.

No, but perhaps a broken clock.

Mitch is still presiding over a dead Party, and doesn't know it.

In the reality of politics the answer is always:
'Compared to whom?'

It means he's hedging his bets. He's still a snake as far as I'm concerned.

They just didn't want to come in to work on a Friday. That's all it means.

No and his next election is 6 years away. This is appeasement to some Republicans. Turtle with all his sick swinging has swung it once to many at Republican voters

This is a bullshite statement anyway. He can't reconvene the Senate without all 100 senators voting to come back.
