Re: McConnell Says Capitol Rioters Were ‘Provoked’ By Trump
If McConnell's comments mean anything at all it would seem to indicate to greenlight a senate conviction. No small potatoes.
Re: McConnell Says Capitol Rioters Were ‘Provoked’ By Trump
I don't know that you will see a conviction, but the count is presumably 17 needed. I would put Romney, Collins, Murkowski, and Toomey in the likely/leans column. Then there are a number of maybe, such as Sasse and Rubio. I have to wonder is Hawley or Cruz would be yes votes to separate themselves from 1/6.Lester The Nightfly wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 2:18 pmIf McConnell's comments mean anything at all it would seem to indicate to greenlight a senate conviction.

Re: McConnell Says Capitol Rioters Were ‘Provoked’ By Trump
It needs to be 2/3rds of the senators in attendance. There was some speculation is this was brought up for an immediate vote, that some Republican senators would simply not be in chambers, so they would not be on the hook for a yes or a no. Not sure if that point is moot now or not.Matt wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 2:35 pmI don't know that you will see a conviction, but the count is presumably 17 needed.

And there could be more information that comes out still that would sway these guys one way or another.

The House still has to transmit the article of impeachment to the Senate before they can actually start the 'trial.'

Unless the GOP lays a rabbit trap in the rotunda that connects the Senate and House Chambers, I suspect it will make the transit before the close of business tomorrow.Bull Shannon wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 2:51 pmThe House still has to transmit the article of impeachment to the Senate before they can actually start the 'trial.'

They might actually wait a few weeks so as not to overshadow the new administration.

Re: McConnell Says Capitol Rioters Were ‘Provoked’ By Trump
Maybe, but if I were in the GOP I'd be wanting to get this over one way or another as soon as possible. As more video, evidence and arrests are made public with each passing day it only shows what transpired to be worse than previously known. What might have passed for less than criminal provocateuring is now looking more and more like an orchestrated attempt to overthrow the government. If you're Cruz or Hawley you're really hoping this gets put to bed right away before there are some serious attempts to investigate your own culpability.
Re: McConnell Says Capitol Rioters Were ‘Provoked’ By Trump
Biden has worked out a way with McConnell to conduct both cabinet hearings and the impeachment trial.
The way I read it being described, cabinet hearings in the morning, impeachment in the afternoon.

Uh, you're making this up. McConnell is set to become minority leader.

Re: McConnell Says Capitol Rioters Were ‘Provoked’ By Trump
And I believe rules state ALL Senate business is to be halted until the trial is conducted
Re: McConnell Says Capitol Rioters Were ‘Provoked’ By Trump
Yes, and he needs cooperation.

He won't have much input in the agenda. Schumer becomes majority leader tomorrow.
