Have the voters woken up?

I wonder.

Because there are no witnesses - it’s all made up.

His presentation reminds me of Pelosi’s insulting anti-Republican speech prior to the vote on the bank bailout bill in 2008. She wanted the bill to fail and to be able to blame it on Republicans which was very effective as it helped to turn the polls pro Obama.

I wonder if the Dems are doing this on purpose because they have nothing and now there’s only two outcomes:

1. Dem complaints are met and they get all the witnesses they want and they still have no case.

2. Reps vote down the witnesses so the Dems can say the only reason their case failed is because of a Rep cover up. Also Collins opponent gets to argue she was complicit in the coverup.

It’s curious to me how the Dem media complex is reporting that the Dems lost Collins and Murakowski. That’s not normal. And it doesn’t make any sense unless that’s what they want to happen.

Remember this is the team that created the idea of obstruction out of another fake investigation.

Why There SHOULD BE be no Witnesses in This Senate Trial...

Because there is NO CASE. There was never any reasonable suspicion or probable cause to start this asinine thing to begin with. It is a hoax and unconstitutional.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures [ie. investigations], shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Amendment 4 [Search and Seizure - ie. Investigations]

CASE DISMISSED!!!

” Schiff citing CBS “head on a pike” story”

So this was an actual story CBS ran. A total fabrication ran for the express purpose of Schiff being able to use it. I thought Schiff made it up but this makes it even worse. Now Schiff can blame CBS and the uniformed will hear the accusation over and over.

And then the Democrats – with the full support of the nation’s corrupt news media – will move onto the next scam in their never-ending coup d’etat.

They will never stop, until the voters stop them.

**************

This is exactly right. By not dismissing this nonsense right away, the GOP has effectively legitimized this travesty — and so the circus of the absurd will fold its tent only to move on to the next stop.

A dangerous predcedent has now been set that says NO MATTER HOW UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR ABSURD a completely fake impeachement is it will be treated as legitmate by the U.S. senate. Terrible precedent that will surely unleash more mischief in the future, if not guarantee it.

THANK YOU!!!!!! You get it.

This is the same thing I have been saying but some on this board seem to think the GOP senate is doing a good job by legitimizing this hoax and travesty. They senate should have dismissed it on day one.

Told Liberal in-laws weeks ago:

"Democrats don't have the guts to allow the witnesses the GOP would call and they have no assurance their witnesses would help their fishing expedition."

I thought they had Sundays off from the trial. If so, they won’t be wrapping up until Tuesday evening.

As long as GOP insists on these 3 witnesses and that they go first, there will be no Dems willing to call witnesses.

Adam Schiff, Eric Ciramilla, Joe Biden.

Problems for the Dems is that if they do that then it’s even more possible that the Republicans will have to be solidly in the Trump Camp.

I just can’t see how they can sit on a fence and be never trumper when the media has them in their crosshairs like that, not unless they know their only support is through leveraging the power of a Trump campaign.

If you find someone stupid enough to witness something that did now happen they would be soon in prison.

It is surprising that Schiff would make a dramatic claim, knowing the “jurors” are in a position to KNOW he is lying. His gambit rules out speculation that conviction and removal were ever his end game.

Showing yourself to be a hateful, vindictive, dishonest liar willing to wreck the US for personal infamy in a snit of partisan game-playing has to be the most idiotic “strategy” ever concocted. This is all about obstructing Trump’s ability to govern and influencing the next election. Schiff needs to be tarred, feathered, and marooned on a small, snake-infested island where his skills would be appreciated.

What do I get for a prize? My country back? I’ll take it.

:)

Posted earlier but worth repeating I think...

I have little interest in watching something that should have been dismissed and trashed at the front door. Even the eloquent lawyers for Trump like Sekulow don’t seem to get that without reasonable suspicion or probable cause, there was no legitimate basis to initiate an investigation.

Beyond that, there is no genuine dispute about a material fact, and, thus a dismissal or a directed verdict is called for.

The Left has put on a Jacobean Reign of Terror with their kangaroo court like some third-world dictatorship somewhere.

God bless and may God bless and keep America.

True in most places but not in Washington DC which is a justice free zone.

Maybe Pencil Neck is taking a fall to protect the Bidens.

Schiff's district includes Hollywood. He tried to leverage
his political position to sell a screenplay......but Hollywood wasnt buying.
I kinda warmed-up to Hollywood after reading this:

Adam Schiff Writes Screenplays On The Side

This week’s Fun Fact comes courtesy of Rep. Adam Schiff, who shared in his New Yorker profile that not only is he a movie buff (and often quotes “The Big Lebowski”), but also he writes screenplays on the side. There seemed to be more than a tinge of regret in the California congressman’s voice when he recalled the story of his first screenplay, a pre-Holocaust story called “Remnant.” “I had an agent at William Morris tell me it was good but no one would want to see it — too depressing,” he explained.“Then ‘Schindler’s List’ came out, and I was, like, ‘Come on!’” He wrote the next one while a prosecutor, a murder-mystery called “Minotaur,” which he said was "almost accepted" by Hollywood standards. But, he has high hopes for his third. “It’s a spy drama,” he said. “That one is a work in progress.”
