W.House advises Senate to hold trial!

Just heard this on AM radio so I don't have links.....


Please tell me they are just that stupid-Anus Lips McGee thinks he can argue his case to the public.


I'd pay to see a honest cross examination live.

Once the president is impeached, the case goes directly to the Senate for trial. The Grim Reaper cannot stop that from happening, although he has control over how long the trial will be.

Trump can tweet all he wants, but he has no control over when the impeachment vote occurs.

Looks like the cart is running a little ahead of the horse, doesn't it? There are lots of things yet to do before a trial in the Senate (if there is to be one) will be held. Almost sounds like a confession, all this Republican certainty that Trump is going to be impeached.

They would like to move out of these embarrassing House hearings and get to the Senate where the GOP has control.
