I think it would be a very unwise thing to try to pull off when more people want Trump removed from office than don't, at least according to the polls.I have read from Senators that the House can choose yea or nay to impeach.
The Senate can choose yea or nay to accept the trial. The chair (chief justice) will decide if this is constitutional, it has never been done but can be done.
If McConnell has the votes to stop the trial for not having enough evidence and the chair can find no legality in the Constitution to stop it, it is over.
The Constitution is very open about impeachment trials, just in cast it's a sham lacking evidence (such as this) to remove a sitting president.
There must be strong evidence for this to happen. The Dems don't have it.
A trial with all the witnesses that have actual information such as Guiliani, Pompeo, Bolton, etc., who are all Trump people, could put this investigation to bed.
Why doesn't Trump want to do that? I've been trying to come up with more reasons why he might night. Is it because he's using it on the campaign trail to garner sympathy?
