One problem with your theory: The witness process will be that each witness will be proposed one at a time, and the Senate will then vote to approve or deny each witness in turn.

That there are enough turncoat RINOs to force witnesses in the first place means that there are enough RINO votes to block each Trump witness while approving every Dem witness.

The only fair way is to negotiate an entire list of all witnesses, and then have the Senate vote on that list.

But that is not the process. See the problem?

What precludes them from Voting against Calling Joe Biden?

After Voting for Bolton?

The Dems have got their way thus far.

I don’t believe for a second they call Joe Biden, because that opens up too much exposure. Hunter is a Private Citizen and a different animal.

They vote first for any Witnesses.

They better call the Whistleblower. There is talk that Bolton was one of the sources for the Whistleblower. The fact the Whistleblower has remained anonymous and off-limits may account for Bolton’s changed stance on testifying.

The Whistleblower was also leaking like crazy to Media for an extended time before his complaint.

I don’t think you’re right, but I hope I am wrong. I think the dems will get one or two of their witnesses. Trump will get none, or maybe just one that really has nothing to offer.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

You are correct they are ALL corrupt NO CHANCE in hell they will start bringing in witnesses the only damn innocent person in this Ukraine corruption IS Trump!!!! Something REALLY needs to be done to DRAIN THE SWAMP!! Our tax dollars are going for this aid ALL OVER the world THEN it is funneled right back into these legislators pockets I AM PISSED!!! These bastards have the best of everything on our dime and that is not enough they are raping ALL of us through aid our tax dollars pay to other countries SCUM all of them!! You can bet your bottom dollar there will be no witnesses!! This is EXACTLY the same BS that was going on with the Clinton Foundation AND it still going on!!!

[Jeff Chandler]

Now who could argue with that?

[mad_as_he$$]

Sorry, but the indications are that there will be witnesses - all for the prosecution.

[philippa]

The President’s legal team said they will go to court to preserve executive privilege and block witnesses from testifying. The Democrats are very reluctant to have any court weigh in on this issue.

[faithhopecharity]

It is totally wrong for the jury/ senate to try to save or bolster the failed prosecution/ house case. And there will be plenty of opportunity after these phony charges are dismissed to investigate the Biden family corruption mess, etc.

[wildcard_redneck]

I usually don’t respond vanity posts but yours is very perceptive and cuts to the heart of the matter. You are absolutely spot on when you accuse Republican senators of failing to call out their “august colleagues” in “the world's greatest deliberative body” as those ugly rejects from every sports team or drama club call themselves. Have you ever looked at pictures of these ass clowns? They look like refugees from the Island of Misfit Toys.

To anyone in the federal government of any consequence please note that regular Americans are watching you and we’re not at all impressed with either you, your asinine ideas, or the turgid drek that spills out of your misshapen heads when you lie to the cameras.

[TheConservativeTejano]

Zero chance witnesses will be called.

Partner, there are about 5 or 6 Senators Republican Senators that want witnesses? Not sure about that number of Republican Senators.

We know that the Sham House Trial led by ""Schiff for Brains" Who Was the Jury, Judge and Executioner" and we do know that the House Trial was not fair because of this plain fact.

President Trump's Lawyers did a truly superb job of breaking down what "Schiff for Brains" conduct as the Judge, Jury, and Executioner is so unconstitutional and therefore the trial in the House is indeed a Sham trial.

The Socialist DemonRat party is going down pretty hard in just about 9 months from now since the 2020 election is on November 3rd or 2nd.

President Trump's lawyers maintained that the conduct of the President does not constitute an "Impeachable Offense" and they are so correct on this matter.

The Socialist DemonRat party should look at the crowd that was there last night in the great state of New Jersey.

President Trump will win in a Landslide Election.

[greenishness]

What kind of a scam is voting on Witnesses anyway? If a person is to put on their defense then they call the witnesses they want. The fact that Witnesses need to be voted on is a scheme in itself.

[Nifster]

You’re delusional

[rxsid]

If the weak RINOs in the Senate somehow only vote for (D) witnesses, Trump will be all over them. This isn't 20 years ago. Trump has Twitter and his massive rallies to get word out.

The RINOs know this and they know its literally impossible to convict him and have him removed from office at this point. Zero percent chance they force him out 9 months prior to this election.

Any RINO that voted along those lines knows damn well they will be primaried.

There are only 2 outcomes at this point.

Trump is acquitted. Or, each side gets witnesses.

[Political Junkie Too]

If Trump's team says these are not impeachable offenses, and yet McConnell lets the Republicans vote for witnesses, isn't that really the all-powerful McConnell de facto rejecting the President's argument?

Why waste the Senate's time with witnesses when the charges aren't impeachable in the first place?

A vote for witnesses is a rejection of the Trump team's core argument. Why would McConnell want to allow that?

If you only knew how bad it really is...

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Would that the hand would appear on the wall of the chamber of Congress writing:

Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

[Lopeover]

The Senate must acquit, based on the fact that there is no crime & Articles are not “Constitutionally coherent.” Any other decision will prove the majority of both bodies of Congress is corrupt.

[Dixie Yooper]

Let’s face it. If there are Senators that want lots of free time on all the major news programs for the next 10 months, there will be witnesses.

[SisterK]

If they are wise they will vote no witnesses.

President Trump's legal team
Shows no fear and is armed with truth.

Do they want more Pam Bondi? LOL
I don't think so.

[LS]

Hope so, as this does NOT need to drag out, and also they won’t call the “right” witnesses.

But there are at least 3 wafflers, not counting Toomey and Gardner.
