Senate won’t reconvene early to start impeachment trial before Trump leaves office: McConnell spokesman

With President Trump likely set on Wednesday to become the only president ever impeached twice, Democrats were pressuring Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to invoke a 2004 resolution that could bring the Senate back quickly for what would essentially be an emergency session to begin the impeachment trial as soon as possible.

But McConnell's office said Wednesday that it will not invoke the resolution, meaning that any impeachment trial almost certainly will not start until Trump has left office.

The 2004 resolution "[a]uthorizes the majority and minority leaders... when the Senate is out of session, acting jointly and within the limits of the Constitution, to modify any order for the time or place of the convening of the Senate when, in their opinion, such action is warranted by intervening circumstances."

After the Senate is back – and it has received the impeachment article – the Senate is required to begin an impeachment trial forthwith. If the 2004 resolution were invoked, theoretically, the Senate would begin its impeachment trial while Trump was still in office. Beginning the trial more quickly would also clear the Senate's docket of the trial faster so it can begin taking up other issues — like President-elect Biden's national security appointees.

House Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass., on Wednesday explicitly brought this possibility up during debate on the rules for House debate on Trump's impeachment.

"I want to be clear about one thing. If we vote to impeach the president today and we sent it over to the Senate... there is nothing to prevent the Senate from taking it up immediately if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell decides he wants to proceed," McGovern said.

The Justice Department’s top leaders listened in stunned silence this month: One of their peers, they were told, had devised a plan with President Donald J. Trump to oust Jeffrey A. Rosen as acting attorney general and wield the department’s power to force Georgia state lawmakers to overturn its presidential election results.


The unassuming lawyer who worked on the plan, Jeffrey Clark, had been devising ways to cast doubt on the election results and to bolster Mr. Trump’s continuing legal battles and the pressure on Georgia politicians. Because Mr. Rosen had refused the president’s entreaties to carry out those plans, Mr. Trump was about to decide whether to fire Mr. Rosen and replace him with Mr. Clark.


The department officials, convened on a conference call, then asked each other: What will you do if Mr. Rosen is dismissed?


The answer was unanimous. They would resign.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced Friday that she will formally deliver the article of impeachment against Donald Trump to the Senate on Monday.

That will set into motion the unprecedent trial proceedings against the former president on a charge of incitement of insurrection over the January 6 deadly Capitol riot.

There was initial talk the trial might not take place for months. However, both Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have agreed to beginning the Senate trial the week of February 8.

John Roberts, the chief justice of the United States, would normally preside over any Senate trial of the president.

But despite such niceties and trappings, a Senate trial would amount to more of a political sideshow than a legal proceeding.

Washington insiders say much of the effort is about Democratic revenge against Trump, and payback from establishment Republicans like McConnell. They never liked the outsider Trump and don't want to see him back in the White House come 2024.

Despite McConnell's effort to re-cast himself as an opponent of Trump's electoral challenge – "the mob was fed lies" – the record shows he strongly supported Trump's post-election voter efforts.

Shortly after the election, McConnell said from the Senate floor that Trump was "a hundred percent within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh his legal options."

McConnell added: "Let's not have any lectures about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election."

In the end, McConnell refused to call Biden president-elect until December 15, and only spoke out against Trump in recent weeks.

Here's why:

1. The Impeachment itself was a sham.

A House impeachment is meant to be a deliberative process, one in which witnesses are heard and subjected to cross-examination, and the issues are fully debated, first in committee, then on the House floor.

What happened instead was what Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, called, "a stain on our nation."

Professor and constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz was more specific. He told Newsmax TV that when the House voted to impeach, it "committed six independent violations of the Constitution."

Knowing they were immune from prosecution for anything they say or do on the House floor, House members "violated the free speech provision. They violated the impeachment criteria. They violated the bill of attainder. They violated due process, on and on and on."

In addition, the president was denied the fundamental Sixth Amendment right to counsel, which should void his impeachment altogether.

2. A trial violates the very purpose of impeachment.

A president or other federal official, is impeached for one reason alone — to remove this person from office.

In this case President Trump vacated his office on January 20. More than that, when the Joint Session of Congress certified the electoral vote on January 6, it gave the election to Joe Biden.

Article II Section 4 of the Constitution provides that "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment" and a Senate conviction.

On that point William Jacobson, Cornell Law School professor of law, observed that "the premise of impeachment is that it is against someone who is the president, not someone who once was the president."

That view is shared by former federal appellate Judge J. Michael Luttig in a Washington Post article when he opined that a post-departure "Senate trial would be unconstitutional."

And imagine opening this Pandora's box. With the cancel culture, will there be demands that every president who served during slavery be removed?

3. Who presides over the Senate trial?

As mentioned earlier, the chief justice normally presides over the impeachment of the president.

However, Trump is no longer the president — he is a former president.

Politico reported that Chief Justice John Roberts may bow out this time in an effort to keep the court as apolitical as possible.

Although a Roberts spokesman declined to comment on the issue, another Hill source told the publication, "He wants no further part of this."

And in that event Vice President Kamala Harris may end up presiding, given that for impeachments other than the president, either the vice president or a senator serves as presiding officer. That would make the process totally political and unseemly — the current administration going after its predecessor.

4. A Senate trial is shaping up to be a kangaroo court.

Senate Republicans urged their Democratic colleagues to begin trial sometime in mid-February, in order to give the Trump legal defense team a chance to adequately prepare.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., rejected that suggestion and called for a speedy trial beginning February 8, adding that there will be "a full trial, it will be a fair trial."

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said that an impeachment trial on a president no longer in office would be unconstitutional. He added that he predicts victory even if the case is heard on the merits.

"On the facts, they'll be able to mount a defense, so the main thing is to give him a chance to prepare and run the trial orderly, and hopefully the Senate will reject the idea of pursuing presidents after they leave office," Graham said.

5. The evidence doesn't support the article of impeachment.

The impeachment article accuses President Trump of "willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States" with a speech he delivered to supporters on January 6 "that encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — imminent lawless action at the Capitol."

However the evidence simply doesn't support the article for at least three reasons.

First, the riot was apparently pre-planned: The president could not have incited something planned well-ahead by others without his involvement. There is clear evidence a crowd began building before Trump even spoke. And The Washington Times reported that "initial court documents show that at least two suspects arrived on or before Jan. 6 armed with explosives, tactical gear and caches of weapons. Facebook has come under fire for failing to remove "Stop the Steal" pages allegedly used by organizers weeks and even months ahead of the rally."

Second, Trump specifically called for peace: The president predicted that "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." He said of the unconvinced Republicans, "If they don't fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don't fight. You primary them. We're going to let you know who they are."

Third, authorities failed to protect the Capitol with the most basic of security. Security of the Capitol is the responsibility of the Congress, not the president. On the very day of the riot, questions arose over the Capitol building's lack of security: "How did so many rioters get into this building from so many directions? How was it breached?" Rep. Karen Bass, a California Democrat and House Judiciary Committee member, told ABC News. "You saw people with ropes scaling the building. You [normally] can't even get into this building with a purse." Capitol security and police failed to do the most basic thing as the crowd moved toward the building: lock the doors!

6. A Senate trial would be a colossal waste of time.

Although the House can impeach on a simple majority vote, it takes a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict. The Senate is currently divided evenly at 50 members each (with independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders caucusing with Democrats).

Even in the event the Democratic caucus holds firm to convict, and GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, and Ben Sasse of Nebraska also vote to convict, they would still be 13 votes shy of what would be needed to convict.

Accordingly, the trial would be just for show, with all the participants knowing full-well what the result would be.

This could very well be their undoing in the long run. Ballotpedia reported that as of January 21, the Congressional approval rating was 13%. Using its time for something that's doomed from the start, and a move that looks more like political payback rather than serious judicial action, may well send those dismal ratings further south.

7. A trial would further divide a very polarized country.

President Biden campaigned for "the soul of the nation," and frequently delivered a message of unity — of bringing the country together. And he mentioned it again during his inaugural address Wednesday.

"On this January day, my whole soul is in this, bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. And I asked every American to join me in this cause," Biden said. "With unity, we can do great things, important things."

Despite the media spin about Trump's electoral challenge and the riot, President Trump remains very popular, and Rasmussen reported this week that his approval rating rose to 51%. The Rasmussen poll was one of the most accurate polls of the 2020 election.

Continuing with a charade of an impeachment trial would only further divide the country, a fact not lost on the Rev. Franklin Graham.

In an open letter he posted on his Facebook page, Graham asked Biden to call the impeachment off for the good of the nation and in appreciation of the new president's "conciliatory words" that asked "both parties to work together."

"If the Democrats go ahead with pushing for the impeachment of a president who has left office, it would only further divide our nation," Graham wrote

On Tuesday, 45 Republicans voted to dismiss the entire Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump as unconstitutional

far more Republicans would be on board with trial and conviction — if not for fear of their own voters.

"I saw that vote today, and

I have zero expectations that there are any Republicans left ... who put the country ahead of not even their party,

"They don't even believe in the legitimacy of the trial. How do you govern with members like that?" :lol the point is you don't

we're in a situation where they participated in the creation of a mob, and

then suddenly, they go, well, if I stand in front of that mob, that mob's going to run right over the top of me, and

I'm afraid of that mob,"

"The base is absolutely convinced that Trump is some kind of important hero and they will take it out on anyone who disagrees,"

And so they're afraid of their next election.

They're afraid for their safety — their safety, their family's safety.

And they're not standing up for our nation and for their oath to the Constitution."

Chris Hayes noted (https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1354174459461197824): "McConnell delayed the trial and then voted in favor of a point or order to dismiss it because it was...starting too late."

polls continue to show (https://www.commondreams.org/news/2021/01/26/majority-us-want-senate-convict-trump-bar-him-holding-office-ever-again-poll)that the American public supports convicting Trump and barring him from ever holding office again.

A survey conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute from January 21 to January 24 found 56% of Americans approve of the House impeaching Trump.

That polling results also showed that 52% of the U.S. public wants the Senate to convict Trump on the impeachment charge.

when those surveyed were told that a conviction must precede a ban on Trump holding office in the future, support for the Senate convicting the ex-president jumped from 52% to 55%.

Democrats should go ahead, let republicans vote against impeachment and then let them deal with Trump in 2024. This only hurts republicans.

Trump will run again, win the GOP primaries and then get crushed again by Biden. Along the way dems should pick up tons of senate seats.

Trump's lawyers just crushed the GOP's top argument against impeachment in legal brief

The brief submitted by the Trump legal team Tuesday argues that President Joe Biden wasn't legitimately elected as the president of the United States.

"The whole brief, for one, never once describes Donald Trump as the former president,"

"It describes him over and over again as the 45th president, as if he is still the president.

They never describe him as the former or previous president.

Apparently, he thinks he still is the president."

If the Republicans argue that Trump can't be impeached as a former president and

Trump says he's still the current president,

it eliminates the Republican argument he can't be impeached. :lol

They have to either agree he's the president and thus he can be impeached, or argue he's not the rightful president, against Trump's claims.

That claim that President Trump won the election somehow and

that President Biden isn't really the president,

he's a pretender and he's stolen it, and Trump is the rightful president.

that was the basis for the mob attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6th.

There's one argument for Trump's impeachment that will solidify public support against the former president

Tribe, who has tried three-dozen cases before the U.S. Supreme Court explained that

the case being made against Trump for inciting insurrection was a case of treason.

"As to the proof, it is absolutely compelling and when

the nation watches in chilling detail how the president exulted in the mob

that crushed and killed cops and

threatened to take the life of the vice president and threatened to assassinate the Speaker of the House,"

"I think that the country's opinion will solidify against the president of the United States --

at least the guy that was president

when he violated his oath and he committed what amounts to treason,"

"And I use that word carefully, because

he was waging war against the United States,

what Article III [of the Constitution] defines as treason.,"

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-impeachment-trial-2650408205 (https://www.rawstory.com/trump-impeachment-trial-2650408205/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6523)

Trump’s false claim that impeachment violates the First Amendment, explained

No, Trump does not have a constitutional right to lie with impunity.

The brief’s primary arguments are constitutional.

It claims that the Constitution does not permit an impeachment proceeding against a former official.

And the brief also argues that Trump is immune from impeachment because the actions which led to that impeachment are protected by the First Amendment.

The Constitution provides that “Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further (https://www.vox.com/22242411/trump-impeachment-constitution-senate-trial-conviction-disqualify-william-belknap) than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office.”

So, with Trump out of office, the only question in his second impeachment trial is whether he should be permanently disqualified from certain federal jobs.

Connick v. Myers (https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=12292534138488546769&hl=en&as_sdt=6&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr) (1983), “the State’s interests as an employer in regulating the speech of its employees ‘differ significantly from those it possesses in connection with regulation of the speech of the citizenry in general.’”

the government’s power to discipline employees (or former employees) for aberrant speech is not absolute, it is broad enough to allow Trump to be disqualified from office.

The second reason Trump cannot invoke the First Amendment is that many of the statements he made, which allegedly incited the January 6 attack on the Capitol, are lies.

New York Times v. Sullivan (https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/376/254)(1964), the First Amendment does not protect individuals from defamation suits if they make a false claim “with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.”

, some of Trump’s statements — such as a January 6 speech where he told his supporters to

“fight like hell” and that “you’ll never take back our country with weakness (https://judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/house_judiciary_committee_report_-_materials_in_support_of_h._res._24.pdf?utm_campai gn=4640-519). You have to show strength and you have to be strong” —

may constitute incitement to imminent illegal action, which is not protected by the Constitution (https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/395/444/).

the Constitution offers very little protection to senior officials in political jobs.

Branti v. Finkel (https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/445/507/) (1980), “if an employee’s private political beliefs would interfere with the discharge of his public duties, his First Amendment rights may be required to yield to the State’s vital interest in maintaining governmental effectiveness and efficiency.”

Trump’s private political belief that he, and not the lawful winner of the 2020 presidential election, should be president must “yield to the State’s vital interest in maintaining governmental effectiveness and efficiency.”Lies enjoy little, if any, protection under the First Amendment.

Pickering involved a public school teacher, not an elected official, but it provides additional support for the view that government employees do not have a First Amendment right to lie.

the Court held that “absent proof of false statements knowingly or recklessly made by him, a teacher’s exercise of his right to speak on issues of public importance may not furnish the basis for his dismissal from public employment.”

a government employee’s First Amendment rights — regardless of whether that employee is elected — do not include a right to knowingly make false statements, or to make statements with reckless disregard as to whether they are true or not.

So when Trump riled up his supporters by falsely claiming that the 2020 election was stolen from him, he was not protected by the First Amendment.

Brandenburg v. Ohio (https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/395/444/) (1969), the Supreme Court held that

“the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except

where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”

If such advocacy is made with the intent to incite “imminent lawless action,” and if such action is likely to result from a person’s speech, then that speech is not protected by the First Amendment.

Brandenburg sets a high bar for incitement prosecutions.

But Trump’s statements immediately before the January 6 putsch were so egregious that they may overcome this high bar. In a speech that he gave right before his supporters attacked the Capitol,

Harvard law professor Einer Elhauge argues that these statements constitute constitutionally unprotected incitement (https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/01/14/trump-brandenburg-impeachment-first-amendment/), even under Brandenburg:

given the fact that the government has broad authority to make human resources decisions under the First Amendment,

Congress may conclude that Trump’s statements were so beyond the pale

that he should be disqualified from holding high federal office in the future.

https://www.vox.com/22272734/trump-impeachment-first--lies-incitement-brandenburg-new-york-times-sullivan-bond (https://www.vox.com/22272734/trump-impeachment-first-amendment-lies-incitement-brandenburg-new-york-times-sullivan-bond)amendment (https://www.vox.com/22272734/trump-impeachment-first-amendment-lies-incitement-brandenburg-new-york-times-sullivan-bond)

All the legal BS sufficient to convict Trump will be ignored by the

Repugs who are, with the oligarchy, strategizing to turn America into a one-party authoritarian state controlled by the oligarchy,

Trump’s Lawyers Call for Dismissal of Trial on the Ground That They Will Never Collect Fees

Trump’s lead attorneys, David Schoen and Bruce Castor, said that

they had a “moment of lucidity” when they realized that their chances of Trump ever paying them were nil.

There's one argument for Trump's impeachment that will solidify public support against the former president

Tribe, who has tried three-dozen cases before the U.S. Supreme Court explained that

the case being made against Trump for inciting insurrection was a case of treason.

"As to the proof, it is absolutely compelling and when

the nation watches in chilling detail how the president exulted in the mob

that crushed and killed cops and

threatened to take the life of the vice president and threatened to assassinate the Speaker of the House,"

"I think that the country's opinion will solidify against the president of the United States --

at least the guy that was president

when he violated his oath and he committed what amounts to treason,"

"And I use that word carefully, because

he was waging war against the United States,

what Article III [of the Constitution] defines as treason.,"

Trump’s Lawyers Argue He Could Not Be Behind Something As Well-organized As Riot

WASHINGTON - On the eve of his impeachment trial, Donald J. Trump’s defense lawyers argued that their client could not possibly be behind something as well-organized as the Capitol riot.

“From his multiple business failures to his chaotic pandemic response,

Donald J. Trump has shown himself to be unequal to every task,” the lawyers argued.

“He could not organize a bake sale.”

Additionally, they said, “We plan to show that the logistical challenges of the January 6 riot were

galaxies beyond the capabilities of Donald J. Trump,

who possesses the executive function of a marmoset.”

For their part, the House impeachment managers said that

they plan to counter this argument with a claim of “temporary competence.”

One of the Ukrainian lawmakers who helped him, Oleksandr Dubinsky, was kicked out (https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polytics/3182465-mp-dubinsky-expelled-from-servant-of-the-people-faction.html) of Zelensky’s political party on Feb. 1.https://time.com/5937491/rudy-giuliani-ukraine-trump-impeachment/

“If I get an official request from SDNY or any other non-partisan effort, such as potential disbarment of Rudy Giuliani, I would be open to helping them,” says Novikov, who left government in August but remains close to Zelensky’s administration. “That is because I believe Mayor Giuliani’s actions in Ukraine threatened our national security,” he adds. “It is our responsibility to make sure that any effort to drag our country into our allies’ domestic politics does not go unpunished.”

WASHINGTON —Infuriated by his lawyers’ miserable performance on the first day of his impeachment trial, Donald J. Trump has replaced them with his two adult sons, Eric and Don, Jr.

Although neither of the Trump boys has a law degree,

Don, Jr., called their lack of legal education “our secret weapon.”

“All Dad’s lawyers talked about yesterday was the effing Constitution!” he said. “It was effing boring! No one cares about that bullshit!”

For his part, Eric Trump said he had “no intention” of cracking any law books before serving as his dad’s attorney.

“I’ve never read a book in my life, and I’m, like, super successful,” he said.

Don, Jr.,’s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, expressed optimism about the Trump boys’ performance as defense attorneys.

“THE BEST IS YET TO COME,” she predicted.

Agreed. What a waste of taxpayers time n money. Lazy monkeys

It has nothing to do with laziness.

They're already there so they're doing their "jobs."

it's about electability. They need the crazies to vote for them so they're not going to cast a damning vote.

Because he’s a lazy fatass and doing that would actually require a moderate level of initiative.

Trump is lucky this isn't a real trial. He would've been convicted on day one already.

Dems have been doing a great job showing the terrorists act step by step.

I’ll say.

Trump needs to be sent straight to jail. Forget the trial. This is legit making me feel sick.

Pretty compelling evidence tbh

I don’t think Trump gets convicted by any stretch, but I’ll bet a few of the 44 Republicans who voted to dismiss yesterday flip by the time there’s a vote, and there’s no question the 50 Dems + the 6 Republicans who voted with them yesterday are going to vote to convict. I’ll bet there’s around 60 votes to convict when it’s all said and done.
