mcconnell is letting the president and his legal team call the shots. just explain, professor, then, when you say the house should refuse to allow mcconnell to hold a trial like this, you re saying that schumer should be using this leverage, how can the house do this, for them to actually do what you re suggesting? well, a lot of important things aren t ease toy do. this one is relatively easy. the house should wait until mcconnell makes some reasonable agreement. if they don t, schumer should press. if there s going to be a trial there has to be one that schumer gins up on his own. you need two hands to clap. you need a prosecution. the house should wait with appointing managers until mcconnell makes steps to make it a real trial. if the house simply caves in, if schumer, who has made an entirely reasonable set of proposals, every bit as reasonable as we ve ever had, if schumer just caves to mcconnell,
