REPORT: McConnell Backs New Senate Rules to Dismiss Impeachment Without Articles

Hannity Staff, January 10, 2020:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is now supporting a procedural rule change that would allow lawmakers to dismiss Articles of Impeachment should the Speaker of the House fail to transmit the documents.

“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is backing a resolution to change the Senate’s rules to allow for lawmakers to dismiss articles of impeachment against President Trump before the House sends them over,” reports The Hill.

“Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced on Thursday that McConnell has signed on as a co-sponsor to the resolution, which he introduced earlier this week,” adds the website.

“This is what they have done: They have initiated one of the most grave and most unsettling processes in our Constitution and then refused to allow a resolution,” McConnell said on Thursday.

The new rules require the House of Representatives to transmit the Articles of Impeachment within 25 days. Should they refuse to do so, the Senate can vote to dismiss the charges without the documents.

Dismiss the charges without the documents.
DISMISS THE CHARGES AS SOON AS THEY GET TO THE SENATE.

NEUTER THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

This is all such a farce, God in His Heaven will repay these liberals who are LYING to prosecute Trump, a man that has done absolutely NOTHING WRONG. Without ANY EVIDENCE, they are impeaching a President who has returned America to being PROSPEROUS, REVERED, RESPECTED, AND POWERFUL.

THE REAL PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE PROSECUTED ARE:
1. Obama and John Kerry
2. Hillary Clinton
3. Obama’s Administration
4. Pelosi
5. Schumer
6. Waters
7. AOC, Tlaib, Omar

Democrats are the most EVIL people in the world!

Good … not ideal for the moment … but it addresses the abuse of process by the Speaker of the House ..

and it allows the Senate – and the President – to move on.

I still kinda hope Pelosi will make the mistake of sending over the articles;

… and allow the Senate to

… allow the White House to defend the President …

… by calling fact witnesses to the underlying matter …

Mitch is forcing Pelosi to hand over the articles.To put up or shut up.

One thing all of the pundits seem to have ignored is that 24 GOP senators are running for election.

If this drags on, the trial will interfere with their campaigns.

Mitch might go for a dismissal after a perfunctory ‘trial.’

My bet is Mitch wants to put this behind him before Super Tuesday.

Thank God that Hawley was able to convince Mitch to cooperate and follow normal legal precedent in this matter. This action must be done before the articles are presented, so let us hope McConnell moves swiftly.

“by calling fact witnesses to the underlying matter“

Trump doesn’t have to prove he is innocent. Those who want to impeach must prove he is guilty. The Democrats seem to believe there is sufficient evidence to prove he is guilty which is why they voted to impeach. Thus the Trump team only needs to cross examine the witnesses the Democrats already had testify. The articles of impeachment were drafted based on their testimony. So the impeachment articles can stand or fall based on their testimony. All that needs to be exposed is their testimony presented nothing more than their opinions about the situation. There are two others who do need to testify, Schiff and the leaker who is referred to as a whistleblower.

The Witch of the House has announced she is delivering the Articles next week. We’ll find out if this is correct soon, but any “trial” must not be of Trump but of the Bidens and others who manufactured this impeachment without a scintilla of evidence to support it. As I have often said in many forums the only criminals in the courtroom are those representing the prosecution.

25 days from when? Is it from when the House passed the thing or the day that Nancy sends it or from the day that the rule gets changed? I’ll bet so many have fingerprints on the Ukraine cookie jar that this gets shoved under the rug fast. Laws are only for poor people.
