Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday he wouldn’t negotiate the terms of a Senate trial with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is threatening to withhold the articles of impeachment.

“It’s beyond me how the speaker and Democratic leader in the Senate think withholding the articles of impeachment and not sending them over gives them leverage,” McConnell told reporters Thursday. “Frankly, I’m not anxious to have the trial.”
quote:

McConnell rejected demands by Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, that the Senate subpoena former and current Trump administration officials to testify at a Senate trial.

McConnell said the Senate would hold a trial based on the evidence presented in the House.

“If she thinks her case is so weak she doesn’t want to send it over, throw me into that briar patch,” McConnell said.

I like the Song the South/Uncle Remus reference just to add to the triggering.

Calling the Cnut's bluff. I like it.

The republicans will win the staring contest, because the Dems have shot their Wad.

Listen to McConnel's speech where he spells out why this is such a fricking joke on the senate floor. He makes a laughing stock of the Dems while showing the rest of congress what idiots their colleagues are.

They could walk into the Senate Chamber tomorrow morning and vote to dismiss, and it's over. Pelosi can bitch, whine, and bellyache, She has no say whatsoever in how the Senate proceeds. Frankly, I supported a Senate trial, but now, I'm over it. I'm tired of the Kubuki theater.

So while it sits in the house (warming Pelosi's taint), its essentially like it doesnt exist, correct?

Lindsey and Turtle should fire up some Senate investigations, focusing on Joe Biden’s peddling of political influence in Ukraine and Joe’s on the record extortion against Ukraine to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired.

They are. I believe Grassley is leading it.

Yeah they have essentially voted to impeach but not actually to impeach if they go this route

In other words, he wasn't actually impeached

Doesn't it violate a persons Constitutional right to a speedy trial?
