Democrats may have been celebrating the House vote officially impeaching President Donald Trump Wednesday night, but the party was short-lived; now, it seems, they’re setting about the work of avoiding a Senate trial which will, no doubt, acquit the President and leave him in office, and perhaps no worse for wear going into the 2020 presidential election.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been working desperately to make Republicans the villain in the Senate impeachment trial story, first sending a three-page letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), demanding to be allowed to rectify the flaws in the House’s impeachment case by bringing witnesses in the Senate trial, and now it appears he’s trying to drive a wedge between Republican legislators and their leadership, claiming that impeachment will be a “sham” — and the GOP will be responsible — if the Senate trial doesn’t happen.
