Poker faces and amazement at the news.
Than Mitch McConnell asks to delay the final vote of impeachment for Wednesday? ”the analysts wondered.
What did he hide? That strategy of the great maker of the Republicans did not fit in his magín. McConnell, head of the conservative majority in the Senate, has handled the times of the process, shielding the president Donald Trump, with the intention that this will end as soon as possible. On Thursday he told his group that, once the summons of witnesses were ruled out on Friday, they would immediately proceed to exonerate the president on Saturday morning, at the latest.
There was a clear objective, and that was for Trump to arrive at the speech on the state of the nation this next Tuesday with his hands free to proclaim that there has never been a better president than ever in American history.
And suddenly McConnell, more trumpist than Trump according to his detractors, whom they also call
Moscow Mich
, took another turn to the crank.
Total confusion. A streetlight? A first interpretation emerged. The White House He had asked for more time so that his lawyers could prepare their arguments for conclusions. But those lawyers, from the parquet floor of SenateThey denied it. They wanted this to end now, even if another marathon session was needed and at night.
There are analysts who see the acquittal as a precedent for the president to skip the law
Once guaranteed that the Democrats did not have votes to force the summons of witnesses or the request for more documents – there were only two conservative “transfugues”, Mitt Romney Y Susan Collins, and required a couple more – the passing of the hours discovered that McConnell faced an internal rebellion. He had managed to maintain unity during the route and, almost at the finish line, tension was emerging.
Hard sectors smoked from the mouth. No delays, the exculpation must be imminent. But, on the other hand, the more moderate Republicans, who find it harder to accept Trump’s peculiar idiosyncrasy, did not want absolution to occur at night, behind the backs of citizens. This would give more artillery to the Democrats and, in turn, those senators would stay with two candles, unable to explain their position to the voters. In this group are those who play the seat in November and their districts are in progressive territory.
The new programming will facilitate that, in addition to the conclusions, the senators have Monday and Tuesday to express themselves. There are few who believe that Trump committed the offense of withholding aid to Ukraine to pressure this country in the investigation against the former vice president Joe biden, then leader among the Democrats in the 2020 election race. However, those Republicans do not believe it is bad enough to kick the president of USA
“The Senate has turned its back on the truth, this is an imposture of judgment,” he bellowed. Chuck Schumer, head of the Democratic minority in the Camera.
Many see it as a Pandora box, which Trump has opened and set a precedent for the president to skip laws and ethics. But Republicans, despite their reservations, have linked their future and their fortune to the president. Don’t let me tweet and ruin them.
Will Trump manage to overcome the ‘impeachment’?
