Democrats can’t prevent it because they don’t run the Senate. Have at it.

If you add Romney, Murky, Collins, and Lee, the Democrats actually do run the Senate.

If I were Trump and they were allowing the democrats to call witnesses, I would just go all in and ask for Joe Biden to be called, and start questioning him under oath about exactly WHAT he knew when with Hunter and Burisma, and then question him about how Obama obstructed congress.

I’d also try to call Obama’s lawyers, and ask them all about what Obama did in 2016, ask questions clearly covered by executive privilege.

“I thought Trump wanted his day in court with witnesses?”

On FR people hold either position and swear the other side is a “plot” against Trump.

I have read several times that the rules regarding witnesses are different in the Senate, in that the minority and majority must agree upon the witnesses called.

This would spell trouble, because you know the Dems would block any witness with the potential to do them harm, whereas the Pubbies... well, we know how they fight. Their favorite maneuvers are the bendover and the rollover...

And, for crying out loud, call Joe, not Hunter. What Hunter did looks and smells bad, but will be easily explained away as ‘nothing illegal’. Joe is on video bragging about his quid pro quo, which is exactly what started up this sham process.

2/3rds of those present. they have to be strategic when they hold vote - be sure 2/3rd to acquit will carry.

The republicans had better demand that SC Justice recuse himself and make sure they open up the FISA court issue.

The GOP leader also noted “there is little or no sentiment in the Republican conference for a motion to dismiss” the articles of impeachment immediately, adding, “our members feel that we have an obligation to listen to the arguments.”

… and get their faces on camera with a large audience...

Didn’t Trump originally tweet he wanted a trial with the works?

Mitchy folded to Nancy and Chucks demands .

A 6 week trial where Chuckie can call any witness and Dems and Dem media can trash Trump 24. / 7 .

The Dems won folks .

Rhinos who want Trump. gone in the senate are behind this .

The Swamp Gop want to lose the senate .
The globalist owners have told Mitchy .

“Trump has tweeted his preference is for a dismissal without trial. As usual McConnell and the GOP Senate ignore the wishes of POTUS.”

Funny, Mitch was for dismissal until Trump wanted dismissal.

I figured it would be easier to load him up on something and tell him to only plead the 5th.
