New CNN poll:

51% of Americans say Trump should be *removed.* Only 45% say he shouldn't

69% say Senate trial should feature new witnesses

58% say Trump abused his power

57% say he obstructed House impeachment inquiry

So, no, his lies aren't "working"https://t.co/YUXyEY8Bxk

NEW: New details emerge about President Trump's Senate trial:

Senate Majority Leader McConnell expected to allot total of 24 hours per side for opening statements, but time must be used in 2 working days, 2 Republican sources familiar with proposal say. https://t.co/C52zmPr7gf

— NBC News (@NBCNews) January 20, 2020

In a 4-page resolution, Mitch McConnell said that the impeachment trial opening arguments would begin at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. Each side will be given 24 hours to present their case over just a two-day period.

BIG change from the Clinton Rules: Info and testimony collected by the House is NOT AUTOMATICALLY evidence in the Senate. There would have to be a motion to admit this evidence AFTER a vote on the question of subpoenaing additional witnesses and info. https://t.co/LuQaLhes3C

— Ross Garber (@rossgarber) January 20, 2020

I think McConnell is trying to set up the opening arguments as the full trial and then move to block everything after and move to a vote.

Should the Senate #impeachment trial have witnesses?

I believe that more information is always better & that GOP Senators will ultimately be held accountable for their vote. pic.twitter.com/9OZq9UyQjd

The Senate will control the cameras during the impeachment trial, limiting what viewers will see. Reporters will be confined to roped-off areas. The effect is to make it harder to chronicle the you-are-there details of a historic moment, journalists say.https://t.co/XDYY2jGh3B

This exchange looks much worse in retrospect than when it first aired on June 13th. Trump said he would take "dirt" on his 2020 opponents from a foreign government. In fact, he was in the midst of trying to do so when Stephanopoulos asked the question. pic.twitter.com/82lQb2lFyF

You know where bribery is a common practice? Russia
Except for those who fall out of favor w Putin and end up jailed or dead. Of course Trump would want to legalize this because he has always been corrupt and has dealt w Russian mafia for almost 4 decades https://t.co/vZty4LrCxa

Last year at Davos, a Dutch historian caused a stir by daring to talk about tax evasion by the ultra-wealthy. "I mean, it feels like I’m at a firefighters conference and no one is allowed to speak about water," he said.

This year, he wasn't invited back.https://t.co/3GKI5XMUCX

Official government analysis suggests that Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal will reduce annual economic growth by 6.7% compared to staying in the EU. This is a bigger reduction in economic growth than the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Put that on a bus.https://t.co/wX8oCkxzYG
