*****The Senate Trial to Impeach President Donald Trump****** (impeachment, lawyers, Clinton)

[Ibginnie]

The Senate phase of the Impeachment of Donald J. Trump begins today.

The trial will start Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET, after which it will run six days a week, Monday through Saturday, also starting at 1 p.m. The condensed timeline for opening arguments proposed in McConnell's resolution raises the prospect that the trial, at least in its first week, will feature 12-hour days and stretch late into the night.

Senate impeachment timetable at a glance
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to seek a speedy impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. In a Senate resolution released Monday evening, McConnell laid out the structure for the trial's opening phase, with votes on witnesses deferred until next week. The resolution would permit Trump's lawyers to move early on to acquit the president and sets up a vote next week on calling witnesses such as former national security adviser John Bolton.

The Senate is about to limit witnesses, limit written material, and run the trial for 48 hours.

It's a coverup.

Mitt Romney rolls his eyes at Schumer and the Democrats. If everything is an outrage, then nothing is an outrage.

Let the circus begin.
The show trial of the century.
Schumer was mad, because no electronic devices allowed, not even by the Senators

If you want to know why the Administration did not respond to the letters Schift wrote that he called "Subpoenas".
