It’s so obvious where the corruption lies. Be careful what you wish for, Chuckie.

Why are democrats always in charge of the senate and the house no matter who has the majority?

There will be more false accusations and other such crap. Toss this atrocity out for the American people.

Agreed. My feeling about this also has a lot of Senators not wanting any further discussion or exposure of what’s gone on in the Ukraine over the last number of years because dollars to doughnuts, it certainly was not just Biden up to his neck in scandal and intrigue in that country.

McConnell should make it clear that the House "prosecutors" will not call any witnesses who did not already testify in the House committee proceedings.

He should also demand that they turn over full, unredacted transcripts of all testimony that was given behind closed doors in Adam Schiff's secret police-state inquiry. If they fail to do this, the Democrats should be told they will call NO witnesses at all.

Can’t someone “in authority” arrest these seditious losers? This incredible criminal behavior should not be tolerated. I’m sure there is space in a federal prison...and on the waterboarding table...for these uncivil lunatics. Show these pathetic criminals no quarter.

If Romney does any of this crap, there will be a movement to go after him and Ronna.

I am thinking if he does get the 4, he may ultimately end up regretting it because they will all come out and say that they need to hear as much as they can. That opens the door to Hunter and Joe Biden and I don’t think they can endorse democrat witnesses without also voting for all witnesses.

Any more of what crap? He’s been very well-behaved as of late. He was even in that group of Senators invited to the White House for a strategy lunch a couple of weeks ago.

If I was Mitch McConnell I would seriously consider not even letting this get to January. If the House passes any articles of impeachment, then have the Senate vote on them within 24 hours and send the Senate home for Christmas.

My gut has been telling me that President Trump wants a full blown trial in the Senate. None of the evidence is against him, and he wants to present real evidence against the coup plotters in a legal proceeding while the whole world watches. We'll see...

“They need 4 Rs. That doesn’t sound like a lot.”

Against Cocaine Mitch protecting his majority and judge appointments, it’s the Himalayas.

It ain’t happening.

“And drag this out for months to get Trump poll numbers to crater...”

Weren’t a number of people here saying they wanted that for the opposite reason?

"How, on such a weighty matter, could we avoid hearing this, could we go forward without hearing it?" Schumer asked at a news conference Monday. "I haven't seen a single good argument about why these witnesses shouldn't testify

Would a single reporter ask Schumer why they didn't call them to testify in front of the House, i.e. wait for a legal decision instead of rush?

Collins and Mittens are already playing for the other team. They’re easy catches.

” Not even Romney would go for that.”

I’ve lost all respect for Romney and believe that he’d throw in with the D’s if it meant hurting President Trump in any way.

It would be nice to get Joe Manchin to declare against impeachment..However, what Schumer is doing is to make it appear that 4 Senators have the power to force McConnell to call witnesses. They do not. Even if the 4 Senators force a full trial, McConnell will allow the witnesses (if any) that he wants. Schumer is trying to repaint the argument..that is what slimeballs do...

Barring a miracle, they do. It can be safely presumed that they have Romney. That cuts it to three. They have the Bobbsey Twin girls. That leaves only one. There is still a number of Never Trumpers to pick from. Others know their names. I do not. What I do know is the history of the Republican Party. That is why I suspect skulduggery and treachery from the Republicans to occur somewhere down the line.

The Democrats are trying to convict Trump for crimes he “might” commit in the future. It reminds me of the movie “Minority Report”, starring Tom Cruise...

I’m beginning to agree that McConnell’s quick dispatch plan is the way to go. Dragging this out has no value — and probably some danger owing to Democrat shenanigans. McConnell will take crap no matter what he decides. Getting this behind them has more value than not.
