Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will back Josh Hawley’s bill to dismiss the impeachment charges against the President outright. Speaker Pelosi has until January 12th to hand over the articles of impeachment.
MCCONNELL backs resolution to change Senate rules to dismiss impeachment articles if they don’t arrive from the House within 25 days of passage — or Jan. 12 in this case.

Axios reported that they will attempt to change the rules of the Senate to dismiss articles of impeachment if they are not transmitted within 25 days of their approval — in this case, Jan. 12.
Whether it’s constitutional is unclear.
Speaker Pelosi now claims she only wants to see the rules before she sends the articles of impeachment.
This is the text, but if they need 67 votes, it won’t pass.

Mitch taking his cues from the Junior Senator from Missouri? That says something, just not sure what.
Piglousy holding up the articles of ‘peachmint says a lot about the solidity of the case the commies(dims) have on Trump. They know they got nothing and aren’t terribly proud of it. Also, Nasty Nancy does not understand that she is the leader of the House, not the entire government. She is now finding out that fact.
President Donald J. Trump keeps trumping the leftist idiots, all of them. They still don’t get how to deal with him. Never will.
Just sayin’.
Pelosi apparently saw too many Vegas commercials alluding people do things in Vegas they would be ashamed to do at home for others to find out about: “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” Nancy covers for inept Democrats running the House with her actions, “What happens in the House of Representatives, stays in the House of Representatives.”
Mitch leads from behind again.
Great move.
