Isn't that up to Mitch McConnell?They better hurry up... they only have 6 days left (since today is over).
Mitch wouldn't vote to remove. Just like before.
So the democratic senate will take care of it.

Just perhaps you should not be so sure of that. Mitch just lost his pre-eminence in the Senate, largely due to Trump. And it does look to me as if he is preparing to purge "Trumpism" from the Republican mind-set.Isn't that up to Mitch McConnel?

I didn't expect Mitch to do anything.Just perhaps you should not be so sure of that. Mitch just lost his pre-eminence in the Senate, largely due to Trump. And it does look to me as if he is preparing to purge "Trumpism" from the Republican mind-set.
IF Trump really committed a crime he will go to jail
That actually doesn't have anything to do with impeachment.IF Trump really committed a crime he will go to jail
IF Trump does not go to jail, he did not commit a crime
OR justice system plays favors
OR worse
Not to mention that if the senate also impeaches him, he loses most if not all of the perks of a former president.
Isn't that up to Mitch McConnell?
Nope. They have all the time. If he gets ousted by the Senate (and that can happen even after he left office), he can't run again in 2024. (Which makes it much more likely that the republicans go along this time. One competitor eliminated.)They better hurry up... they only have 6 days left (since today is over).
The timing of the Senate trial is largely up to Nancy Pelosi. She can hold the articles of impeachment for as long as she likes before sending them over to the Senate. Once the Senate has received them, they have a limited time -- a few days -- before they must hold a trial. But that time is long enough to enable McConnell from preventing a trial before Trump is out of office.
If Pelosi has any brains, she will carefully weigh when she sends the articles to the Senate. The trade-offs are what she must consider. Send them sooner, maybe there's a better chance of conviction, but then the Senate will be busy with the trial rather than implementing Biden's program as fast as possible. Send them later -- say, a hundred days later -- and there are again benefits and disadvantages to that. This is a real test of her political skills.
I believe he keeps the perks unless the Senate votes to deny them to him following his conviction. Same as he retains the right to run for office unless the Senate votes to deny that to him, too.
In that case, good. She should hold onto the articles until the new leadership comes in to the senate.The timing of the Senate trial is largely up to Nancy Pelosi.
