Senate Republicans are trying to rush through the impeachment trial with minimal fuss and drama. The last thing that they want to see roll into town is Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, and the Trump conspiracy theory freak circus.
Republicans are trying to tell Trump to lay low, but since this is Donald Trump, as soon as he hears of Cornyn’s comments, he is likely to appoint Rudy Giuliani to manage his impeachment trial leaving the Republicans wishing for Jim Jordan.
Senate Republicans are warning Trump that they don’t want to take the trip to crazy town, but they might be ignored because nothing is stronger than Trump’s need to feel defended at all times.
