McConnell says he has votes to approve rules for Senate impeachment trial

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he has the support of enough Republicans to approve a resolution with rules governing President Trump's impeachment trial. McConnell said the resolution mirrors the procedures used in the Clinton impeachment trial in 1999.

Here's a hint, McConnell: you're not the defense. You're an elected constitutional official.

[rosskelly]

This is what you get without term limits.

Nothing says a fair trial like no witnesses and no evidence. LOL

[jessieedwards]

Wtf is this dude saying....i can't understand gobble...gobble....gobble.

[susanfabian]

This from the man who put off selecting a Supreme Court Justice just because he could.

[benjaminromberg]

They sat on the papers for three weeks, we'll that's calling the kettle black, how long has he been sitting on papers so high that he can't find his desk and calls them do nothing dems. I pray turtle face goes to club fed with the rest of this criminal organization

[gigiskitties]

McConnell wants the articles ASAP so he can move to dismiss.

I am so disappointed 😔😣 with u Mitch. I'm tired of the side talking. Talking with out saying anything. I don't think you or Lindsey should be present

[AmberAmbwee]

Man. Imagine if cops/county judges could do this...

[ashleyroberts]

If they do it without witnesses then it WILL BE A SHAM!

[DarkManSonian]

If we had to have Monica Lewinsky as a witness we damn well better have witnesses on this one

[willtoulan]

Wait wait wait...Is he missing his eyebrows?

[dumpd]

An impeachment trial without witnesses, is like answering a question on an exam without providing supporting evidence. This would be an incomplete answer because the question has not been adequately answered.

From the most selfish and destructive generation on earth.

[jameswatters]

It would be more productive to just burn our tax payer moneys

[dstyer]

The truth is their enemy and they aim to defeat it.

[rainbow_wind]

Mitch McConnell, literally one of the most irritating human beings to listen to and watch. Ffs our system is busted AF.

[WigPopWigPop]

You been sitting on Kentucky for many years....how's that working out for THEM?

[alysiamerdavid-wasser]

LOL. We, (Kansas) just elected a Democrat as Governor, (Laura Kelly) & Dem., Sharice Davids to the House. Kansas voted for CRUZ in the primary, so Mitch might be all hat & no cattle this time around..

Here we are, watching one of the biggest cover ups in American history unfold.
