The Senate Trial

President Donald J. Trump will shortly be impeached in the House ... and early next year he will be tried in the Senate. There are really only two plausible scenarios for this Senate trial’

1)  Open all the windows, call all the relevant witnesses and air all the attempted cabal dirty linen in front of the American people on live television. This is the type of trial that Trump is vehemently requesting.

2) Follow possible Mitch McConnell’s lead and short-circuit everything to keep things quick, terse and perfunctory ... with no real intention to deal with all the issues surrounding the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, the Mueller Report, the involvement of foreign intelligence agencies and the whole Ukraine brouhaha.

Now, both options will lead to Trump’s exoneration ... but my suspicion is that the second scenario will be what transpires. And the obvious question is why?

Kind reader, if this prediction does come true, it will likely be because of Ukraine and its history of corruption and payoffs. We now know that the prior Ukraine administrations were putrid to their eyeballs and did buy off Obama’s Ukraine point man, Joe Biden ... by slipping over $3 million of legal graft to his son Hunter.

The question then answers itself —- how many other US politicians benefited from Ukraine grease? And in particular, how many Senators (McConnell? Blumenthal? Feinstein? Graham? Schumer? Leahey? etc.) might be implicated if wide-ranging testimony is allowed in Trump’s Senate trial? (Not an original thought,)

This would be the most obvious reason for trial brevity. And it might also allow the Dems to claim GOP bias to negate the obvious Democrat show hearings in the House. You might even see some Dem Senators voting for quick acquittal for this very reason.

Curious!
