Sen. Dick Durbin

It's amazing how his parents already knew at birth what he was going to turn out to be.

The lies continue.

The proper way to get access to those witnesses was to go through the courts. It’s not a big deal. It’s just a legal proceeding. But the Democrats in the House had to rush the whole thing. They couldn’t be bothered with judges and courts, so they abandoned those potential witnesses and just went forward with what they had — which was nothing.

The Senate should vote based on what the House has provided. Which, again, is nothing.

Democrats could have waited to call those witnesses in the House! No one stopped them.

No impeachment ever fed a hungry child.

Should, but won't. Mark my words, the impeachment circus will continue in the Senate. A good number of the GOP in the Senate have no fear about removing this POTUS.

I wonder what percentage of used car salesmen and ambulance chasing lawyers are democrats. Durban reminds me of those slick tongued lying scum.

The President wasn’t “impeached” in the US House of Representatives. He was railroaded by a democrat mob in DC.

And add Adam Schiff who orchestrated the entire affair, i.e., the Ukranian hoax.

Senator Schmanure praised Nanzi for holding on to the articles (until her personalized impeachment pens were ready).
Schmanure said: "Nanzi's doing a great job. Holding onto the articles will get us witnesses and evidence."

Evidence? Did the Chief House Moron get the elected nitwits to vote to impeach a president without evidence?

The jury isn’t supposed to do the investigating or the prosecuting.

So, DICK, if the Senate trial needs witnesses that were not heard from in the House, then what evidence did the House use to issue their Articles of Impeachment?

Trump needs to turn the tables here and put the Dims on trial. Discover what is truly behind this coup.

Why? The Dems believed that they already had enough evidence to impeach the President. The “evidence” has already been presented. It’s time to take out the trash.

You are sadly correct. They aren't afraid of Trump or the citizenry. They have long ago decided they are our rulers, not our servants. That must change or the American experiment will die.
