If you look at Senate rules for impeachment........
?? Theory ??
Then the military is in control! There is no way around the whole nation and world, seeing all of the evidence! Read the Senate rules! They can’t bypass the defense getting their day in court, the way the house did! There is no way, the Senate wanted this! Trump is in complete control of the narrative! I think the military is running Washington!
Ummm - that is not quite how it works. You are sort of right though. The house brings the charges against the President (that is the impeachment part, and is not a trial). So the house is like the prosecution.
The senate holds the trial of the impeachment charges. The President is the defendant, and his lawyers argue against the charges. The senators are the judge and jury in that sense.
There is no way to skip the trial, and it has nothing to do with the military being in control or not. A trial would maybe represent a chance for a lot of election fraud evidence to be presented as part of the President's defense.
Interesting note: Roberts has already said he won't preside over an impeachment trial - which makes things interesting since only the chief justice is allowed to preside over an impeachment trial. I have no idea how that will work out.
I remember a lot of "how do you introduce evidence legally", could this be the way?
There has to be a few Q posts that could help connect those dots, don't have the time to search.
Let's stop this. This impeachment is ONLY about the Jan. 6 "incitement". NOTHING ELSE. No election fraud. AT FUCKING ALL. No "introduce shit" in any way. Its a trial dealing with just ONE CHARGE.
Is anyone even following what's going on in real life?
Well, big words and all. Have you actually read the impeachment rules and how things work prior to your expert assessment posted here? Kind of sad to see the down votes, clearly says how poorly educated and misinformed some on this board are while claiming otherwise.
Read the rules doc, point out just where it says that it is not the Senate that sets the rules for the trial. And what they will discuss, or not. After court after court refused to listen to voter fraud you now somehow deluded enough to think that Senate, of all places, will now want to hear any of it? Educate yourself, its just roughly 20 pages long. Go ahead, prove me wrong.
dude, you need a cookie and a nap. btw when you use the words "educate yourself" it makes people turn right the fuck off. we are discussing this, some maybe havent read all that you have, maybe we will get to that, maybe we wont, but its not worth getting all angsty on us.
