Republican senators say they will not vote to dismiss charges against Trump ahead of trial

voiced opposition on Monday to any attempt to dismiss the charges against him without a trial.

Trump appeared on Sunday to reverse his position

on how the Senate should proceed, writing on Twitter that a full trial would give the Democrats who pursued impeachment undeserved credibility and signaling support for dismissal of the charges with no trial.

“There is almost no interest” among Republican senators for a motion to dismiss the House charges,

Yeah, sounds like bull . I can't even think of one GOP senator who'd break rank much less four. Romney and Collins will attention for the cameras just like Jeff Flake used to do, but that'll be about all.

Maverick ain't around to rally the troops anymore, tbh...

Democrats Demand That Giuliani Be Trump’s Lawyer at Impeachment Trial

WASHINGTON —Rudolph Giuliani’s offer to act as Donald J. Trump’s defense attorney at the President’s impeachment trial has received unanimous support from congressional Democrats, who are now demanding that he perform such a role.


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer told reporters on Tuesday that Giuliani’s participation as Trump’s lawyer during his Senate trial was, as far as they were concerned, “nonnegotiable.”

“Rudy Giuliani has demonstrated over the past three years that he can represent the President as no one else can,” Pelosi said.

“If he is not the President’s lawyer in the Senate, that would be a deal-breaker for me.”

Concurring with Pelosi, Schumer added,

“My Democratic colleagues in the Senate are prepared to pay Mr. Giuliani’s hourly fees, in cash, to make this thing happen.”
Pelosi indicated that Democrats were now willing to back off their earlier demands for witnesses at the trial.

“No witnesses,” she said. “Just Giuliani.”
Appearing on Fox News, Giuliani said that he was “a little surprised” by the Democrats’ enthusiastic support, adding,

“Nancy Pelosi even offered to drive me to work every morning, which I thought was really nice.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did not answer reporters’ questions about a possible role for Giuliani in the impeachment trial,

nor would he confirm reports that he had given the Senate’s security desk a photo of Giuliani with instructions to bar his entry.

McConnell not only is refusing to negotiate on impeachment rules — he won’t even talk to Democrats: Schumer

not only won’t work with Democrats on crafting agreeable rules for the impeachment trial, he won’t even speak to them.

"Burgess Everett

Schumer sayss he's tried four times to get McConnell to talk to him about the impeachment rules to no avail"

Biden so so out touch, so out of date, to think he can work the Repugs on anything.

He SHOULD know from seeing Repugs block Obama

I cannot wait until trump is gone - either removed from office - defeated in an election - or brutally murdered -


but once he is gone -

like you -

can go back into your closet and practice wearing and removing your nazi uniform in private and out of anyone's hair.

I guess we know what the security threat to Yovanovitch was. Odd that he wasn't arrested, since he's a US citizen.

Oh, right

He just may be soon. Because the SDNY had all of this and allowed it to become public.
