Tuesday afternoon’s session, Mr. McConnell proposed that the prosecution and the defense each have as many as three days to make opening arguments, instead of the two-day cap he had proposed on Monday. Mr. McConnell also said evidence gathered in the House impeachment probe would be automatically entered into the Senate record, reversing his earlier stance.

McConnell makes last-minute handwritten changes to Trump impeachment trial rules
The sudden revision in the Senate's organizing resolution ensures that House Democrats' evidence will be admitted.
...
It wasn't only Democrats who had issues with the timeline.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, "raised concerns" about the resolution and played a role in the changes, her spokeswoman said.

"Collins and others raised concerns about the 24 hours of opening statements in two days, and the admission of the House transcript is the record," Collins spokeswoman Annie Clark said in a statement. "Her position has been that the trial should follow the Clinton model as much as possible. She thinks these changes are a significant improvement."

There is no attempted cover-up. There were no crimes committed. No impeachable offenses were committed. No Russian collusion ever took place. Time to come out of the corner and recognize the truth.

McConnell has already admitted coordinating it with the WH. No point in denial. It wasn't until moderate members of his own party began to peel away that he gave in on when the trial would be held.

It still remains to be seen if he'll try to hide witnesses or evidence.

Time to come out of the corner pull your pants back up and recognize the truth.

I won't report you for that kind of overwrought verbal abuse, but other people might. Learn some self-control; it would make you more credible.
