Democrats are the ones who don't want all the facts to come out.
The facts are not on their side...the media is.
Force votes will only happen if one has the opportunity. Set the rules like the House or toss it in the can. Screw Schumer.
Fair? Fair? Why, dear Chuckie, do you want fairness after the most unfair House impeachment hearings? Nothing fair with Schiff and Nadler, and the rest of the Democrat scum.
The DEMs are going to attempt to put as much of this on the GOP as possible. With the MSM as willing accomplices.
I hope McConnell allows lots of time to debate each particular witness so they spend weeks debating this. The longer this stretches out the less people outside of DC like it and the more it hurts dems.
They won’t have a vote on each witness. Like in the House, they will have one vote on the structure of the trial and after that, the Republicans can do whatever the heck they want. McConnell will not allow a long, drawn-out trial.
Give the House demonicRats one hour to present their case using only witnesses or information publicly and previously presented in the House. Then vote to acquit. Trial over, back to work. Done before Christmas.
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. If the gopE had any intent to protect Trump, they would have already had fact finding hearings. But they have not had a single one. The only chance Trump would have had would have been a strong offense in the senate to start with. You watch, Trump will not even be allowed to call any substantial witness.
Someone needs to explain to Chuckles the Clown that after the circus called the House Impeachment, “Fair” is where pigs win blue ribbons.
Chuck wants to seed the witness pool with someone that will have new lies that can’t be proven but the media will jump on.
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
These people lie thru their teeth and laugh - it’s scary to think they wield such power.
Let the Republicans pass the force votes for:
Joe Biden
Hunter Biden
Paul Pelosi II
Nancy Pelosi
Robert Powell (Husband of Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, D-Fla. who took $700,000 from a Ukrainian oligarch named Igor Kolomoisky)
Adam Schiff
Igor Pasternak (Schiff’s fundraiser)
and so on.
Just keep the hammering going, because after day 20 of testimony, people will start to see how deep the corruption is.
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.
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.
Senate Majority Leaders is NOT impressed with want smucky Schumer wants.
“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.
