Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is preparing to begin the impeachment trial of President Trump in February, according to a report.
As CBS News reports, McConnell is preparing to inform Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of the proposed date, allowing Trump’s defence team time to prepare:
This would give impeachment managers and Mr. Trump’s defense at least a week to prepare. McConnell floated the proposal to GOP senators on a caucus conference call Thursday. It’s not yet clear what date in February McConnell is proposing. He had already said he would not take up a trial immediately after the House impeached Mr. Trump, and Democrats now control the Senate. […] The House has yet to send the single article of impeachment for incitement of insurrection to the Senate.

Breitbart.com reports: The report comes after McConnell accused Trump of stoking the recent riot at the U.S. Capitol, in which five people died, including a police officer. “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding … which they did not like,” McConnell said in a Senate floor speech. “But we pressed on. We stood together and said an angry mob would not get veto power over the rule of law in our nation.”
McConnell has said that he has not decided on how he will vote in the upcoming trial, though some reports indicate that he may have trouble holding on to his long-held leadership post if he opts to convict former President Trump.
“If he does, I don’t know if he can stay as leader,” one unnamed senior Republican senator said, reported CNN. The lawmaker told the news outlet that “several of his colleagues held similar views and asked not to be named discussing sensitive internal politics.”
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) stated that he could no longer support McConnell as Senate leader if he voted to convict the former president.
“No, no, no,” said Johnson when asked. “I don’t even think we should be having a trial.”

The Popes the moral authority and Catholics rule .
Can’t impeach and convict a former President. The Constitution clearly indicates that. I doubt any of these idiots have ever read it.
The Constitution remains hanging only to cover up a stain on the White House wall.
They want to impeach because they know he’s still the President.
Id like to pound the snot out of that mommas boy. What a useless sack of shit!
What an outrage against democracy to stand their like the king of the castle we shall bot let an angry mob overthrow our rule if law What a hypocrite when the so called angry mob were most likely of their own making .Just despicable But the hatred instilled in them by their values for anyone who diesnt submit to their ideology is do loathsome and repugnant it’s worse than any despotic dictator and the corruption of their rule of law most evident in Prlosis blatant criminal act of tearing up the Presidents speech with complete impunity. A CRIMINAL act ignored because of their corrupt rule of law.And their total sweeping away of the evidence if the event by their censorship is deplorable too I be seen hith the footage of the execution of the naval officer and the so called storming of the office The execution looks exactly like a prearranged hit on that female She was it appears led to that door by a few accomplices just in time for the assassin on the other side to walk up and, targeting just her shoot her dead with a single shot .Just like that. The ” storming ” consisted of about 3 people entering the chamber and casually strolling about whilst one injured person wounded by a rubber bullet I think was sitting on the floor They exchanged a hit if conversation u remarkable and forgettable chit chat .That was all And yes it was the police who waved the crowd in to cross over the lawn into what was supposed to be secured area .The while things utterly appalling and the censorship of the facts truly shameful Suppressing evidence to deceive the people should be a criminal offence
And I’ve said it before hut it’s worth repeating The complete sweeping away of the alleged murder of that one female as witnessed by myself and many others ,is EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS .The total just erasing of that event in the news is so strange when footage exists and was even posted on tbe I internet is so strange that it indicates something very sinister and devious .More than just indicates, reveals that something very sinister occurred that day .
The site that posted the phone footage evidence has now been labelled by Twitter as terrorists and banned ..Tell it to the children twitter
The truth is they are wanting to set up a secret police to spy on Americans Another one ,no doubt specifically to target Republicans ,and they want to create a new set of anti terrorist laws ‘ to stop americans terrorizing Americans ” Its their version of democracy ,freedom of speech and thought ,free will ..That’s the real new deal they’re bringing to the table
