Mitch McConnell will not do that, because to do that would be unlawful under the rules of the House and Senate. Like it or not, there are rules and laws that need to be followed. The vote on impeachment has to be made, then it's submitted to the Senate where the Senate can and will then refuse it. Of course the Senate does not have to grant a trial to the House. I think you're misunderstanding what Fitton said.

Make up your minds. Didnt the good guys WANT the house to go with an impeachment vote??
[–] Christosgnosis [S] ago
people speculate a lot about that, if that is what you're referring to.
am just pointing out that the House is very clearly completely corrupt in illegitimate in its current processes regarding impeachment. The Senate (under McConnell) can step up and just blanket all impeachment affirmations that the House might eventually send to the Senate - blanket refuse to consider anything from this current House congress - let the People decide these matters in the 2020 election, as they should.
as to evidence, well, wouldn't that evidence be better used in prosecutions to aide in getting convictions - instead of being presented in an impeachment trial to defend the presidency?

Instead we will now get months of the whoring msm brainwashing the public that Trumps letter means he is a dictator and refuses to follow the cute houses and pelosis innocent request.

Arrests should be on the table for those who violate their oath to defend the constitution and uphold the law. Broad spectrum investigations should commence of every member of congress and staffer for the last 10 years. Including adult children who show to be involved in quid pro qro and spouses.
And I mean an anal examine!

Tell the house to go to the courts. That will get things going
