I want Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Adam Schiff, Barack Obama, Loretta Lynch, Cheryl Mills, John Brennan, etc etc to have to testify...are you OK with that Schumer

No disrespect intended. But there is no way you will see any of these people testify. The senate is not going to let Trump investigate anything outside of the actual articles of impeachment. schumer is already taking charge of the senate procedures and the house has not even impeached Trump yet. What schumer is doing is what the senate republicans should have been doing back in September. Prepare yourself, the dems are about to steamroll the impeachment process.

Actually, what Schumer has stated is that the Democrat majority Congress has not made it’s case for impeachment and Schumer needs more Blasey-Ford’s to opine before the Senate.

We all should know how this will play out. schumer will get 4 gopE senators to vote his way and will, for the most part control the senate hearing the same way the dems controlled it in the house.

Change your sceen name to Joe Btfsplk, you are so damn negative.

BTW, I will bet you $100 your negative assertion is pure bullshit and no way pubbie senators will give the majority to chuckie.

The loser pays the $100 to FR.

I am sick of reading your constant negative crap. Get a life. Put up the money or STFU.

Seems the Dems do not understand the Constitution. The House presents the case to the Senate. The Senate Votes.
Sorry, Charlie, too late.
This ploy is to taint the proceedings against the Senate. Just imagine what they could do with another Filibuster Proof Senate, House Majority AND the Executive Branch. (Much worse than the last time!)
Prepare accordingly.

Name one instance I have not been correct. It's obvious the senate repubs have no intention of doing anything more then they absolutely have to.

I’m not putting myself in Matt Bracken’s class, but his list of 18 Senators likely to vote to convict is eerily similar to mine. combine the two and there’s 22 Senators that will vote to convict.

Keep your powder dry.

“Schumer indicates Democrats will force votes on impeachment trial witnesses”

Sounds like upChuck Scumbag thinks he is in charge of the Senate’s trial.

Schumer will win this one. Mitch won’t be able to hold Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Burr, Gardner,Sasse, and Rubio from supporting Schumer on witnesses.

@SenSchumer So - now you’re gonna force votes on whether “witnesses” should be called to testify...and I thought you were concerned it would turn into a circus...even as you were rounding up extra clowns...
Do it right - give them toot horns and buckets of confetti...

One of the reasons I got a Twitter account....

And they’re already discussing a possible Impeachment #2 from the Mueller report.

I listened to McConnell’s speech this morning. He was clear that the Senate is not going to redo the house’s work. He does not have a reputation for taking stands that he doesn’t have the votes for. I would never underestimate him.

Of course he will, because Democrats play hardball.

If they do somehow manage to force witnesses at trial for a man who hasn’t been impeached yet, but, hey, plan ahead, right?, I hope Republicans call every key witness that the House GOP wanted to call but couldn’t. Including Schiff.
