Senator John Glenn was referred to as “Counsel for the Defense”. Reward was another ride in space, because “NASA wanted to research zero-g on the aged”.
What was goose for the Democrats isn’t sauce for the Republicans. Got it.
The defense (Trump and his legal team) need to be fully informed about all relevant rules and evidence.
It’s just being fair.
Someone should tell Murky-Cowski.
Clinton’s Dims acted behind the scenes, while McConnel is open about what he is doing. Apparent or not apparent, there is no difference in how the two parties have acted. Remember, little other than naming which body carries out the impeachment and which carries out the trial, the Constitution has very little specific to say about how it must, can, or cannot be done. That leaves many of the “rules” left to politics.
Which impeachment is Nancy doing now?
Schrödinger's Cat Impeachment: As Nancy refuses to hand over impeachment to the Senate, Trump might be both Impeached and Not Impeached at the same time.
Seinfeld Impeachment: An impeachment about NOTHING.
The ObamaCare Impeachment: The House passes the Articles of Impeachment first then they figure out what they did doesn't work and hands them off to Chief Justice Roberts to fix, at trial, in the Senate.
The Rorschach Test Impeachment: Throw ink against the hearing room wall and interpret it in any way you want. It can be treason to some, bribe to others, and a perfectly legal exercise of the Separation of Powers to others.
The 6th Sense Impeachment: Where the audience (the American people) finds out at the end, the Articles of Impeachment were dead the whole time.
The Wizard of Oz Impeachment: Nancy threatens impeachment of Trump (.....and his little dog, too!) for killing Witch Hillary in the 2016 election. Nancy sends out her flying monkeys, led by Schiff and Nadler, to do her dirty work. In the end, Nancy get doused with water in the next election and melts down.
The Einstein Insanity Impeachment: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
The Susan Rice Impeachment: Impeached because of an obscure YouTube video. Based on repetitive themes, it may become a remake of "Ground Hog Day".
The Caveman Impeachment: Representative Al Green "I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will get reelected...." Impeachment so easy, a caveman can do it.
The Flaming Bags of Dog Poop Impeachment: Nancy sets fire to a flaming bag of dog poop at the front door of the Senate, but delays ringing the doorbell. This buys time for Schiff and Nadler to put together a second bag of flaming dog poop. Nancy sets up the second bag of dog poop at the back door of the Senate. Sooner or later, Nancy rings the front doorbell. Mitch stamps out the fire at the front door. Then Nancy rings the doorbell at the Senate's back door, forcing Mitch to track dog poop throughout the Senate. Mitch stamps out the second flaming bag of dog poop, getting his shoes even dirtier. (This seems to be the most accurate predicted plan for Impeachment.)
Democrats marched over to the Clinton White House and had a party the day the House impeached The Bent One.
The longer this goes on the more likely that chattering campaigns will be used to skew the process.
Trump thinks the trial should happen because it will generate support, but there is real risk that the whining by Schumer and the deranged Rats will lead to unintended consequences.
The Senate should take the matter up as soon as possible or have Trump file a writ of Mandamus. If the analogy to ordinary process is going to be maintained, then this will compel the matter to be heard in the Senate.
And it all needs to be dismissed with prejudice as being utterly without merit, produced by the most reprehensible, non-American House majority in our history.
There are zero listed crimes by President Trump, not even close.
klintoon committed multiple perjuries under OATH, bribed witnesses, suborned perjury {multiple times, with multiple witnesses} extorted witnesses and used the full force of the fbidojciasecretservice to intimidate everyone that could provide negative testimony.
klintoooooon and skag were and still are a criminals on multiple levels, and should have been in jail for the last 30+ years, but they continue to blackmail and bribe their way around the swamp.
I absolutely hate that duo.
is it Illegal for Mitch to talk with the president now and support him?
Folks, this is never going to end- ‘Rolling impeachment’ - Hopefully the4 left lose so badly during midterms that they finally get the message to stop their asinine witch hunt! May they lose both house and senate for decades to come because of their war against we the people and this President!
None of the Senate members are witnesses until they are sworn in by Chief Justice Roberts. The Senate doesn’t even have the articles of impeachment.
Note: Dems have not claimed support for Trump’s Constitutional rights. They want Repubs to be uncommitted. LOL That dog don’t hunt no more.
If the Senate and President Trump are in lockstep in now destroying the communists Democrats, America has a chance. This is a critical time in American history with a communists overthrow possible. Wake up America and wake up the Republicans that the time to fight is almost over.
FU, DEMONRATS.
Since it was “My way (Democrat) or the highway” in the Democrat led House, Republicans should run the Senate THEIR way!
It's never about the hypocrisy. It's always about knowing that the Republicans back down and compromise when challenged by the Democrats.
Questioning Republicans for doing the same thing Democrats did is how they extract concessions from the Republicans.

Pelosi’s impeachment is a joke. I say let the Senate poke her in the eye with it. Dem senators running in ‘20 must recuse, Dems get no say in any of it. Heck, don’t even let them watch.
Coordinate, coordinate, coordinate. Give them nothing, just like they gave you in the congress. Mop the floor with them.
