Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Wednesday urged GOP senators to prepare for an impeachment trial of President Trump, which could heat up as early as Thanksgiving.

McConnell, who has largely refrained from making grandiose public statements on the House impeachment effort in recent days, briefed GOP senators during a luncheon on Wednesday on the impeachment process via a PowerPoint presentation and urged them to gear up for an impeachment trial in the Senate. He expects this process could heat up next month, around Thanksgiving.

“There’s sort of a planned expectation that it would be sometime around Thanksgiving, so you’d have basically Thanksgiving to Christmas — which would be wonderful because there’s no deadline in the world like the next break to motivate senators,” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) said, according to the Washington Post.

There's going to be no trial. Crazy Aunt Nancy doesn't have the votes, and McConnell knows this. Perhaps he's trolling Mitt Romney.

Turtle is coyly doing this because he knows it is coming which is a far cry from saying the dems are out to get Trump. (This was discussed yesterday in a thread a prog proudly posted)

It'll be tough to prepare for a trial if the House never votes.

Most shocking thing here is that Senators even work the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It was a secret vote. Mitch should call for the trial to start Monday, since the House is basically deeming Trump impeached by secret committee.

If Mitch has any balls:

“The House has sent to my office the Articles for Impeachment. I have scheduled a trial for January 21, 2025.

Thank you and have a happy Thanksgiving.”
