Proposed Resolution Would Let Senators Dismiss Impeachment Articles

The transcript discusses a resolution to allow the Senate to dismiss impeachment articles against President Trump if not prosecuted quickly. Holly criticizes the impeachment as baseless and urges dismissal if Pelosi delays. The resolution, supported by ten Republicans, allows dismissal if articles are withheld for 25 days. Pelosi demands a fair trial with witnesses before sending articles. Bolton is willing to testify if subpoenaed. McConnell has enough votes for trial rules, which initially exclude witnesses. Holly's resolution needs 67 votes but suggests a 51-vote bypass, pressuring Pelosi to act.
