Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has revealed that the impeachment trial in the upper chamber will begin next week, likely on Tuesday (Jan. 21) if everything goes according to plan.

After three months of delaying, stalling, and seeking leverage, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi finally transmitted the House-passed articles of impeachment to the Senate on Wednesday.

While Pelosi ran a total circus during the House impeachment hearings, McConnell has made it clear that if anyone tries pulling stunts in the Republican-controlled Senate — they will be imprisoned.

And after Democrats have admitted they have stunts and tricks up their sleeves to turn the Senate trial into a circus aimed at dragging it out for months — McConnell unveiled his “kill switch” rule.

McConnell is on the verge of passing a rule that would establish a “kill switch” that would allow President Donald Trump’s legal team to move to immediately dismiss the impeachment trial if the Democratic House Managers make an attempt to turn the trial into chaos.

The option comes on the heels of the ongoing debate on whether or not witnesses should be called by either side during the trial and, if they are called, how many each side would be able to call.

Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz said if Democrats get their way, the trial could be extended “to six to eight weeks or even longer,” which is something the president, his legal team, and Republicans in the Senate are trying to avoid.

A resolution will be voted on during the opening of the trial on Tuesday that establishes rules and Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley said he would be “very, very surprised,” if McConnell didn’t implement some type of “kill switch” countermeasure in his rules proposal.

The move to add such an option has seemingly garnered support from a number of Republican senators who believe Trump’s legal team should be able to make the move if it’s deemed necessary.

Hawley doubled down on his warning that the trial could spin out of control, saying that the president “deserves the right during Senate trial to ask for a verdict or move to dismiss – otherwise trial will become endless circus run by Adam Schiff.”

In other words, if Democrats try turning the Senate trial into a circus, Republicans will invoke the “kill switch” and immediately vote to fully acquit the president.

At this point, almost everything has come to fruition. We know how this is going to play out.

Trump will be completely acquitted and fully exonerated in the Senate because the Democrats case is incredibly weak.

There’s nothing Democrats can do.

Democrats are complaining about McConnell possibly holding an unfair investigation, but that’s literally what Democrats just did for three months.

But before the impeachment trial likely moves into the Senate — Democrats are whining, issuing ridiculous demands, and already claiming the process is “rigged.”

McConnell has already revealed exactly what’s going to happen when the impeachment trial moves into the Senate.
