Senate Sets The Stage For Trump's Acquittal Next Week

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON ― The Senate will continue the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump into next week even though the final result is all but certain. White House official Eric Ueland told reporters Friday that the combination of the State of the Union and his acquittal in the Senate will be a one-two punch and a “happy coincidence” that will “launch the president into 2020.” “You could argue that the State of the Union — that successful vision the president will lay out — actually, occludes focus on impeachment,” Ueland said. Schumer also got a final answer on a matter that observers have been wondering about for months: Should there be a 50-50 vote on witnesses, would Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who is presiding over the Senate trial, break it? “He wanted to resolve an open issue for future Supreme Court justices in a way that didn’t need to be done now and therefore didn’t cost him anything but would be helpful to others possibly in the future.” The biggest remaining question in Trump’s impeachment trial remains the matter of how each senator intends to vote on the two impeachment articles against him: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
