The impeachment. He won't have the senate back till the 29th and the earliest they could impeach is the afternoon of the 20th. You can't impeach a private citizen
Senate will be back on the 19th, and they can have a senate trial of impeachment after inauguration. Trump has said impeachment is not a risk to him, and I believe that. But we should still have our facts straight.
He said the 25th Amendment was of no risk to him. The 25th is where the VP and Cabinet vote to remove a president who is unable to be president due to illness/incapacitation.... is impeachment covered under the 25th, too? I thought impeachment was somewhere else?
I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure he said neither were a risk to him. 25th is where cabinet and VP could seem POTUS unfit to lead (usually do to being incapacitated) impeachment is separate house and senate have hearings and trials then vote whether to remove POTUS from office. The only reason they want to impeach him (even if it's after inauguration) is to try to strip him of his secret service (Presidents get secret service for life iirc,) prevent him from a presidential library, and make it so he could never run for office again.
In spite of all that none of their schemes will succeed.
Former President's are hardly just "civilians" after the leave office, given they maintain Secret Service, special tax perks, etc. These are the things and reasons they would try to take this up, however stupid, unprecedented or unnecessary it may seem.
None of these semantics matter tho, since the plan is moving and they won't have the opportunity to even try such a thing
You think Mitch was in on this too? The same friend I was talking to said that Mitch would go through with impeachment to cover his ass for blocking the 2k stimulus.
Mitch first came out saying that he thought impeachment would be a good thing. Then after congress had their impeachment circus/group therapy session Mitch refused to call a special session for a senate trial before they reconvene on the 19th. He said that if schumer want to pursue an impeachment trial he can do so after he becomes majority leader.
I didn't hear about Mitch screwing them. What happened on that front?

I am pretty sure you can't have an impeachment trial of a civilian...
Matt Gaetz tweeted https://mobile.twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1202334061504716801 that is is possible in Dec 2019, Bannon was saying on War Room earlier this week that they could hold the trial after.

I think mitch got shown the evidence on him after the 6th and decided to back down
Good theory.
I thought senate back in session on 19th.
