While I've yet to hear any actual facts re Mitch and his wife, that association with China certainly has a feeling of something. Can't say I've decided on it yet since it would be a key element of the Senate activities.  Mitch orchestrates the Senate, though he has repeatedly stated he will follow POTUS's legal council's lead. That may be a concession on his part.  We've also not heard a peep out of Romney, who we feel assured is plotting with his group of Rinos.  So, Senate is not absolute for POTUS. Much of the delays seem to allow time for negotiations/planning/schemes.  It's not as though there's real substance in any of it, except the truth. Comes down to process and trickery, imo. I imagine all those aids scouring legal handbooks for a shred of something that could help.    Kind of wish POTUS would give clear indication of whether he wants the trial or not.  But, it could be he's intentionally vague to make Dems believe it coming. For now, I'm left with watch it play out. Pass the popcorn.
