Trump’s defense team expects cliffhanger in Senate witness vote

These type of headlines being the same is a typical tactic of the MSM propaganda to drive a narrative. I’ve seen this on some videos which strongly confirms this. I also do not believe that headlines do not guarantee results. The news that came out on Bolton in the last 24 hours has been very destructive to the witness scenario. I look for them to back off and go on to a vote then try something else.

They are so desperate that the only thing left is to blackmail each other and try to grab money on the way out the door.

The fact that DiFi is talking about voting to acquit tells me that their internal polls on this have completely, utterly tanked.

I think she is trying to trade her vote for acquittal for a yes vote for witnesses from some RINO. That way the Dems get what they want, to lie about Trump on TV for a few more weeks (well they will keep doing that no matter what happens). Trump gets a bipartisan acquittal but the media lie about that too. In the end I think she would rather be on the right side of history, 100 years out.

The Democrats , the evil stupid moronic Democrats , should have a hell of a lot more to fear over witnesses that should the Republicans

I for one would love to see Adam Schiff , the whistle blower , hunter and Joe Biden ,and a myriad of other charlatan liar pieces of crap get up there and explain themselves Under-oath

Romney needs to be primaried out of the Senate.

It’s a nice idea, but that can’t happen until 2024. He’ll be pushing 77 at the time, so he probably won’t make a try for President but I imagine he’ll like the idea of another 6 years in the Senate.

[Buckeye McFrog]

If so I’d pass on the deal. I suspect the final vote will be 56-44, with Manchin, Sinema and Jones joining all Pubbies.

I think at that point not even Romney will want to commit political suicide with a vote to impeach.

[Jeff Chandler]

Having the congresscritters sit around all day is probably saving taxpayers a lot of money.

[palmer]

That's all true. But the witness vote comes before the acquittal vote.

[Uncle Sham]

I think this is a way the Democrats have discovered that they can CONTROL both houses of Congress by simply tying up the Senate with baseless impeachment hearings. It keeps the spotlight on THEIR accusations, smearing Trump, repeated endlessly over the mainstream media during this election cycle all while denying the Senate the opportunity to function in their normal capacity to approve additional Trump appointed judges to the bench.

They have no problems dragging this situation out.

[Mouton]

Of course they are putting that out. IMO it is in the bag so they do not want it to look like a set up for an acquittal.

I predict two GOP will go across and 2 or 3 dems with the GOP.

I hope one of those who votes yes to witnesses is Mitt the louse.

[SaxxonWoods]

All Dems will take the 5th. They won’t answer a single question. The media will give them cover for doing so.

Lois Lerner redux.

“These headlines are all over the place. “

indeed. the media doesn’t have a clue about what’s going to happen ... actually they do have a clue, plenty of clues actually, because numerous GOP Senators have publicly stated they believe the impeachment trial will wind up by Saturday ... so the fake stream media is just making fake hay as long as the can get away with it ...

[snippy_about_it]

Until March? They are dreaming. Remember the list of documents, professional and personal emails and texts the democrats wanted that were ‘tabled’ on day one of this hoax? Witnesses, subpoenas, records, oh my..
Trump will win in 2020 and the trial will still be going on.

[indthkr]

"Agreed. But we’re stuck with the guy for at least four more years."

Censure?

Public denouncement in the strongest terms by a caucus like minded Senate conservatives?
