John Roberts Won’t Let Mitch McConnell Derail a Trump Impeachment Trial

"On Wednesday, the Washington Post reported on a closed-door session among Senate Republicans discussing the way they should conduct a trial if President Donald Trump is impeached by the House. According to at least one senator, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell indicated that he is aiming for a rapid process that might start around Thanksgiving and end by Christmas. There are many reasons, though, to think that such a rush to judgment will fail.

The Constitution explicitly states that the chief justice, in this case John Roberts, “shall preside” over presidential impeachment trials. The rules of the Senate, moreover, require McConnell to take this command seriously. In order to prevent the vice president, who formally presides over the Senate, from refusing to allow the chief justice to play his constitutional role, the Senate rules governing impeachment require the vice president to swear in the chief justice immediately after the House’s charges are announced on the floor. The rules then explicitly empower the chief justice to “direct all the forms of proceedings” during the trial. The Senate, in contrast, is granted the “power to enforce obedience” to all these rulings."

Supposedly backed up by “meticulous” contemporaneous notes he took during phone calls and meetings.

Another darned Deep Stater taking notes, keeping receipts, and writing memos to file.

Taylor's statement:

It is an excellent and super-clear recitation of the facts, and the fun stuff -- but by no means the only important stuff -- starts on page 5 of 15.

George Washington's extra f*cking desk?

Money shot:

Page 12. 9/7/19 conversation with Tim Morrison of NSC (Fiona Hill's replacement): Trump told Sondland that Trump was not asking for a quid pro quo. But Trump insisted that Zelensky go to a microphone and say he is opening investigations of Biden and 2016 election.

I guess the reasoning is that if you don't use the exact words "quid pro quo", then it's not a quid pro quo?

Nothing happened

Ok it happened

The whistleblower is lying

Here’s a “transcript”

Uh-oh, you think that’s impeachable?

But it’s not what the whistleblower said!

Ok, fine, it’s exactly what the whistleblower said

But no quid pro quo!

Ok there was a quid pro quo

Get over it

Amb Taylor testified that even Ukraine’s President saw these actions for what they were: “... he conveyed to me that President Zelenskyy did not want to be used as a pawn in a U.S. re-election campaign.“ p.8

Taylor brought a chain saw. Trump’s at least getting impeached. Proud State Department family tonight. Country first.

Republicans who are worried about impeachment tearing the country apart should be going to Trump privately and telling him to resign.

Concur. But Howard Baker is dead.

One day West Point will teach an Honor Code class: Taylor v Pompeo.

Looks like the dems have evidence that Sondlund lied to them under oath. Apparently they will call him back.
