Jake Sherman of Politico on with Katy Tur ----

[LiberalFighter]

Sherman claims that the Senate can proceed with the trial without the Articles of Impeachment. He is a dingbat.

1. "of Politico" are all the words you need in order to ignore everything he says as hackery.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. Wait, wut?

There can be no Senate trial without articles being transmitted. That would be like a criminal court trial without charges being filed against the accused.

Jake is simply wrong about this (if he wasn't, McConnell would've already done it).

[Wellstone ruled]

3. So,more of the

Corporate Misinformation Campaign. Booking of Talent by Comcast's Vice President of Political Affairs. Hmmmm,Chuckie Both-Sider-ism Toad.

It just never quits.

4. How could that happen?

Wouldn't the Senate have to impeach Trump first?

That job is solely the House's responsibility. What the House has produced has not been forwarded, so they can't have a trial without the documentation.

And, the House hasn't assigned the trials managers.

I don't like or trust Jake Sherman.

But, sure, hey, why not. The Constitution is already ripped into tatters, what's one more awful thing to do to our nation?

[gratuitous]

5. I suppose for Sherman's purposes, that's totally true

For anyone who subscribes to the principles of our Constitution, however, that's not how a trial works.
