Last Minute Impeachment Unlikely

Lucianne.com links to a Hot Air piece by Ed Morrissey which explains why President Trump won’t be impeached before his term of office ends on January 20. The explanation comes courtesy of a Mitch McConnell memo explaining the realities of senatorial procedure.

That combined with House procedure means if it happens at all, it will happen after he is no longer in office. No one is certain the Constitution even allows for the impeachment of a private citizen, which Donald J. Trump will be as of the afternoon of January 20 of this year. Apparently it has never happened and, if one was a betting person, one would bet against it happening this time.
