Daily Mail: Democrats and Donald Trump will each get just 24 hours over TWO DAYS to make their case at impeachment trial, under Republican plan - and senators will debate rules behind closed doors tomorrow
* Republicans' plan for Senate trial of Donald Trump are revealed hours before it begins at 1pm Tuesday
* Mitch McConnell wants each side given 24 hours spread over two days to make their case - the Democrats for impeaching and removing, Trump for acquittal
* He will use Tuesday to present his plan and hear the rival Democratic one before the Senate switches off cameras and kicks out reporters to decide on the rules
* If he gets his way, Democrats could start spelling out why they want Trump removed at 1pm on Wednesday
* Planned schedule could put 'docket rocket' trial on track to end before Trump delivers the State of the Union address
* Nobody will be allowed to subpoena witnesses or documents until after each side has made their case and 16 hours of questions have been asked
* Exclusion of witnesses and closed session of Senate certain to be used by Democrats to accuse McConnell of cover-up
* Plans offer apparent victory for Donald Trump - but will not explicitly allow him to demand instant dismissal of the two articles of impeachment
Democrats and Donald Trump will each have just 24 hours over two days to make their cases at his impeachment trial, a plan outlined by Mitch McConnell revealed Monday evening.
Each side will face presenting their case late into the night as the Republican majority leader plans to slam the case through the Senate, a leaked resolution first reported by CNN and confirmed by DailyMail.com revealed.
But he will allow the possibility of the trial calling witnesses or documents - but not until the third stage of the trial, after Democratic prosecutors and Trump's defense have made their case and senators have had 16 hours to ask questions in writing through the Chief Justice John Roberts.
The plan sets up a fast-moving trial which could sit late into the night as each side tries to get through their 24 hours.

WNU Editor: It looks like the plan is to finish this trial by the end of next week.

And the operative Dem/MSM groupthink phrase du jour: "Coverup!"
/because anything less than Trump's conviction and removal is a coverup, a sham, a show trial, etc...
Be done with this annoyance.
I want the trial to go on and on as long as the Democrats err idiots want it to last.
When you look up the aphorism "Be careful what you want, you may get it." The Democrats' impeachment went dream is the primo example.
The only problem with an unending trial is that it gives The Democrats an excuse for a brokered convention and we get an August surprise, Hillary or Moochelle Obama.
The presidential election cycle is too long. But 2 1/2 or 3 months is not long enough to get to know bad candidates as the Marxstream Media lies so much.
You got it Russ. Very predictable response from the addled ones. I'll not turn on the computer that day. Diminished CO2 footprint from me that day. Miss Gretta T. will be ecstatic.
Make documents and witnesses available or thrvoters will suspect guilt and coverup
Very simple! No guilt then nothing to fear
Refuse witnesses implies guilt to public
You're typical hack. Trump doesn't care for he knows the voters will speak next November.
Still looking for a nut!?!?!
He's on drugs. His posts are not as rambling as before.
