GOP Leadership Memo Suggests Senate Cannot Block Trial If House Votes To Impeach Trump

The impeachment process will uncover many of the other treasonous conversations the Orange Turd has had with despotic 'friends', which have been hidden from the public gaze by complicit staffers.
This is going to get interesting...

I totally agree!
 
Even if the Senate doesn't convict - there will be a record as to how they all voted. Depending on how strong the evidence is - this could have a chilling affect on their decisions.

there will be a record as to how they all voted.

Which could hurt Democrats as much as Republicans.

Democrats welcome that.
LOL. If they did they would have pursued this months ago.

Are you at all familiar with the meaning of the term "wishful thinking?" :lol:

Are you familiar with the term "obstruction"? That's what Democrats have been facing - including Special Counsel Mueller who is a Republican. Now, everytime they obstruct it can be included in articles of impeachment - just like with Nixon.
 
Well, sparky, the final articles of impeachment have not been finalized and voted on. The House is trying to fight through the Republican obstruction to gather all the evidence. There is already plenty of evidence to impeach Trump. Ukraine is just the icing on the cake.
If that were true the last House vote to impeach - July 17, 2019 - would not have been crushed 332-95. What, other than the Ukraine nothing burger, has been revealed since?
An impeachment by the House is not a conviction by the Senate. That will never happen, and is the only way to get rid of Trump other than waiting for the 2020 elections.
And that seems increasingly unlikely, thus the Hysterical House Dem's nuclear option ... hopeless-impeachment-in-lieu-of-election-victory..

DNC Chief: ‘Our nominee won't stand a chance against Trump’
These numbers are daunting," said Perez.
He added: “Our eventual nominee won't stand a chance against Trump and the GOP's fundraising machine ...”
 
Impeachment is akin to an indictment. It is not removal from office.

A senate trial is required for removal, once the evidence shows irrefutable proof of the charges.

Will Senate Republicans take their responsibility seriously? Will they hold their oaths sacred?

If they acquit, will they put politics before their constitutional respon?

Moscow Mitch McConnell! Will you write your own chapter of Profiles of Courage, or will you continue to be a toady for a politically dead man walking?
How would acquittal amount to the Senate putting politics before their constitutional responsibilities? Because you have already found the POTUS guilty? Is it not possible they would find the evidence to not amount to high crimes and misdemeanors?
 
Pelosi won't make the same mistakes Mueller did with his somewhat intimidating 448-page War and Peace novel. That's why she will likely mainly focus on Ukraine. Speaker Pelosi knows she must educate the public.

Trump has provided the smoking gun with the transcript or memo as well as the whistleblowers complaint. Once his taxes and emoluments clause violations come to light, how could anyone merely dismiss the evidence? The articles of impeachment will be rock solid and air tight, to everyone but the most rabid Trump supporter.
 
Pelosi won't make the same mistakes Mueller did with his somewhat intimidating 448-page War and Peace novel. That's why she will likely mainly focus on Ukraine. Speaker Pelosi knows she must educate the public.
But you said Ukraine was just icing on your impeachment dream and we have seen much if not all of the evidence. Mueller's 2 yr, $35 million investigation failed to launch and if you are now banking on Ukraine to provide you with a happy ending you must prepare yourself for some serious disappointment. :D

You're gonna have to try to remove Trump the way we always remove a POTUS ... on election day 2020 and Dem Party Chief Tom Perez has some bad news for you on that front.

Like Nixon? You should be watching SNL. You could learn a lot.

LOL. You have for almost 3 years hung your hat on whatever you are told is the certain end of Trump. Miraculously you still don't get it. That's Charlie Brown level gullibility.
Carry on Charlie ... you sure got him this time. :laughing0301:

“There is no way we could somehow bar the doors and prevent the managers from presenting the articles” of impeachment, states the memo.

The Republican leadership issued a memo Saturday clarifying that the Senate must take action if the House of Representatives approves articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. The statement came in response to concerns that the Senate could simply refuse to hold a trial.

“There is no way we could somehow bar the doors and prevent the managers from presenting the articles to the Senate,” stated the memo, which was obtained by HuffPost. “The rules of impeachment are clear on this point.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also said as much in a March interview with NPR: “If it [impeachment] were to happen, the Senate has no choice. If the House were to act, the Senate immediately goes into a trial.”

McConnell could call a vote on a motion to dismiss, which would effectively amount to a vote to acquit Trump of wrongdoing.

Sounds good - but apparently "McConnell could call a vote on a motion to dismiss, which would effectively amount to a vote to acquit Trump of wrongdoing." I don't trust any of them!
Nor would any who respect our constitution and the rule of law (so many lefties do not) have the Senate do. Once the Hysterical House Dems do what they will do the Senate must treat it with respect (undeserved) and see it to its end, whatever that may be, according to our laws.

The voters will have our opportunity to show many Dems the door in 2020. :D

Not if the evidence is OVERWHELMING. Republicans must decide between party or CONSTITUTION.
Well, you know how that is going to play out.

Are you sure obstruction of justice as well as Russian collusion won't be among the articles of impeachment? Barr can't spin this. Subpoenas will compel the testimony of many involved.
 
Not sure who would have thought they could. Clearly they cannot block the trial should the house impeach Trump. While the details are somewhat vague, the overall process is crystal clear in the constitution.

I believe "Trump is a poopyhead" and the kitchen sink will also be included. A ham sandwich can be indicted ... conviction is a much higher standard and believe it or not, claiming collusion and obstruction does not make Trump guilty of them. In fact, the Mueller Report was months old when the House voted overwhelmingly against impeachment in July. Are they suddenly resurrected in your mind? Do you, like Lakhota, believe your wishful thinking will convince 67 Senators to convict?
 
There will be no vote to impeach though, so this is just some fairy tale to keep you distracted.


So are ya? :71:

Too soon to know how all the evidence will influence minds. Public perception is critical.
Public perception has Jack shit to do with proof. Just because you’re an idiot that falls for hoaxes doesn’t mean there’s a conviction.

Public perception determines how people vote.
Uh...no!
99% of people know how they will vote.

You can sense we are going to go down the route of groups getting blamed again like so many other nations have done in humanity's illustrious history. Who will it be this time? Round and round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows!

Really? Even before they hear all the evidence? Even before they know how their constituents will react?
