ALREADY OVER:
The Senate on Saturday afternoon backtracked on its earlier move to have witnesses in former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, leading the chamber into hearing closing arguments. House managers and Trump’s defense lawyers reached an agreement to admit as evidence Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler’s statement that said Trump on Jan. 6 resisted telling his supporters to stop storming the Capitol. The House managers who are serving as prosecutors previously said they wanted to call the congresswoman as a witness.

More info on herreras third hand evidence.
Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another....
What did anyone expect?
Democrats play political Calvin Ball. When they’re losing, move the goal posts, change the rules!
Jaime Herrera Beutler was to testify, as I understand.
if they want witnesses, let’s line ‘em up from the capitol to the Potomac.
it’s a circus; send in the clowns.
She only got 56% in her WA CD-3 in 2020...
Calling witnesses would lead to Trump’s defense lawyers calling House Demonicrats, Capitol police officials, DeepStaters, DC officials, Antifa/BLM infiltrators on Jan. 6, members of the enemydia, and many many more that the Demonicrats would not want to tesify... or at least tell the truth.
Not anymore.
Well I have seen a screen shot showing that they actually won a vote to call witnesses. 55 to 45
She can take it on the run, Baby
Time to put on a trial on election fraud.
Never go full-Facebook.

“Well, I don’t belieeeve it. Not for meeeunite...”
“Well I have seen a screen shot showing that they actually won a vote to call witnesses. 55 to 45”
After that vote, Republicans offered to put her statements in the record and Dems accepted.
Because guess who else doesn’t want witnesses called?
Republicans, that’s who.
Just to give everyone an idea how left-wing the Republican party is in Washington state...we had 2 Republican representatives (Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse) who voted to impeach President Trump. Neither one of them was even censured by the Washington state Republican party. Both will be reelected two years from now.
Mitch McTurtle can do anything he wants to do.
