Lindsey Graham: 'I'm going to tell the president no to his witness request'
Washington Examiner ^ | December 18, 2019 | Susan Ferrechio

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said he will not support calling any witnesses in the upcoming impeachment trial against President Trump, including witnesses Trump wants to summon.

“I’m going to tell the president, ‘no,’ to his witnesses request because I think what is best for the country is to get this behind us as soon as possible,” Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said Wednesday.

The House is set to impeach Trump Wednesday night on two articles charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate will hold a trial in January, and Democrats and Republicans are battling over the proceedings.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, wants to subpoena four current and former Trump administration officials as well as documents related to Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s president.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, rejected Schumer’s witness list.

So, it’s basically up to Patriots to fix this mess and clean house, sooner or later.

Not surprising.

“I’m going to coordinate with the president’s lawyers. So, there won’t be any difference between us on how to do this,” said Mr. McConnell in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity Thursday night. - a few days ago

I saw Linda talking to reporters this morning.

He doesn’t want any discussion about Bidens or Ukraine.
He has seen no evidence that Ukraine messed with the election.

He doesn’t want Rudy talking about all the corruption he found.

If I didn’t know better I would think Linda is up to his ass in the corruption just like his pals and doesn’t want it to get out.

If Netanyahu asked for witnesses, you can be sure Graham would let him.

Biden doesn’t want his buddy Joe Biden to go to prison, or lots of other corrupt public officials, including himself.

Actually Graham is right. Why would we want to tell the criminals what we have in a forum that has no power to put them in prison? It would be much better to let them find out from Mr Durham.

Voting our way out of the situation seems less and less likely.

I think Trump can publicly force the issue to pressure congress to allow him to defend himself. After three years, Trump is entitled to it. Time to fight back against the deep state.

There are pro’s and con’s when considering calling witnesses.

Basically I am ambivalent on the subject.

Graham went to the Ukraine with McCain.

I have reached a conclusion.

I am in complete agreement with you.
