Moscow Mitch predicts the Senate will not remove Trump from office if impeached by the House.
U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday he did not expect a possible impeachment trial in the Senate to result in the removal of President Donald Trump.
“If it were today, I don’t think there’s any question it would not lead to a removal,” McConnell told reporters, adding that the duration of any Senate impeachment trial would depend on how long senators, several of whom are seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2020 presidential race, want to take.
Reuters:
Senator Lindsey Graham will not read any of the transcripts the House released including Sondland’s.
“I’ve written the whole process off,” he told CBS News. “I think this is a bunch of B.S.”

In a criminal trial, dolt.
Q: "You don't think this is dangerous to actually out the whistleblower? I mean the president has said that he's treasonous and a traitor."

Senate Republicans want to turn impeachment into "What about Joe and Hunter Biden?"
Senate Republicans are privately debating whether they should use an impeachment trial of President Trump to scrutinize former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter as some Trump allies push to call them as witnesses while others dismiss the suggestion as a risky political ploy.
