Today the Senate basically had a test vote, it appears based on the numbers that they don't have enough votes to impeach Trump (Constitutionality aside for the moment). Chess game. House Impeaches requiring Senate to hold trial. The Articles of Impeachment called out insurrection but also the fact that President Trump challenged the 2020 election results. Now everyone is ready for a trial so that the Presidents team can call out all the election fraud examples, before a public, probably world-wide audience. Here is my question. What prevents Chucky Schumer from shutting down the possibility of the trial, in lieu of today's vote. Everyone is hitching their cart to this trial horse. If it doesn't happen, and I'm not a legal scholar here, what's next? Moves and countermoves...

After the vote today, I would not be at all surprised to see them do exactly that. They now know that they won’t convict him in the Senate after today’s vote. They can shut it down, brand R’s ad traitors for not going along with it, and this way the Trump team doesn’t get to show any evidence of the election fraud to the world.
