Why? Why – why would you – why would you be pushing this instead of calling these critical witnesses?
Election season, that’s why.
Here is my conspiracy theory:
It is widely expected that there might be a near-term opening on the Supreme Court due to the death of a sitting Justice.
If the Senate is tied up with an Impeachment, they can hardly be in a position to divert attention from that for confirmation hearings, now can they? I mean, is it even FAIR for an impeached President to nominate anyone? Is this what the Founders would have wanted?
This will be the MSM/Democrat argument.
And by the time the trial is over, well isn't it too late to do confirmation hearings?
This sham has little to do with Trump, and a lot to do with Ginsberg.
So, that's my theory.
Dems are running the campaign on the taxpayer dime. Trash Trump constantly from a stately setting with media talking heads repeating it all day long.
