Doesn't everyone stand trial with open ended charges yet to come?

Oh wait, yes they do. That's before God, not the Legislature.

Discovery is before a trial.

There have been no direct witnesses. Just unhappy grape vines with a knot in their fiber.

I don’t think they can endorse democrat witnesses without also voting for all witnesses.

Want to bet that they wouldn't try? These people are total hypocrites with absolutely no shame.

Leave it to Byron York to come up with an idea that the idiot dems could use.

I wish Byron would just go away.

York doesn’t give a spit about this Country.

Chuck wants the Senate to take a ride in HIS car, and HE gets to be the driver, otherwise it’s just not fair.

67 to convict but only 51 to start the charade and call witnesses

Schumer is not trying to convince all 53 Senate Republicans to support his proposal. He just needs four. There are 47 Democrats in the Senate. If Schumer can persuade four GOP senators to join Democrats, they'll have a majority of 51 and can force the calling of new witnesses.

They will be “impeaching” Trump for the next five years. They just changed the name from Mueller to Impeachment.

Then they will “impeach” President Pompeo.

Yep. The Dems are bluffing and impeachment will never leave the House. No doubt. /s

Barr and Durham need to start the indictments and prosecutions. This will shut them up and shut them down


The Durham Report has been punted to next summer according to Barr. Spygate is obviously no longer a criminal matter as far as the Barr DOJ is concerned.

Yes, all is lost. Kavanaugh will never get confirmed.

Never overestimate the ethics and morality of Romney...

“I think you might get Collins and Mitt, but other than that I don’t think anyone’s voting against Trump. It’s political suicide.”

Manchin will vote with the republicans.

Schumer would like more witnesses to drag this out.


Not exactly. Schumer would like a month or more of bickering on process and then more witnesses to drag this out. I wouldn’t not bet against him on that given the doormat position the GOP Senate assume during the Kavanaugh hearings. How many times did Grassley allow Blowsy Ford dictate the terms of her testimony? You can expect the same here from the GOP Senate.

Behaving as of late means like 2 weeks in Romney time. I do not trust that buffoon.

The Rats will sacrifice the Bidens in a heartbeat if it results in taking down President Trump.

I don’t know what the constraints are, but if I were McConnell, I’d go full offense and use this as an opportunity to expose the process.


That won’t be happening. McConnell has had nearly three months to go on offensive since the CIA hoaxblower spy and his House Dem allies launched their assault on POTUS. McConnell and the GOP Senate have done nothing but green light the House Dems since then.

Trust Sessions. The midterms are safe.

“They need 67 votes to convict. They need a lot more R’s. It isn’t going to happen!”

The Rats know that. Their plan and goal is to so tarnish Trump that he will be damaged goods for the November general election.

Don’t put anything past that RINO jerkoff.
