For me, NO MORE NEW WITNESSES.
That ship has sailed.
This trial is about the impeachment articles brought forth by the lower house. They had all the witnesses they needed and THOSE are what the trial should focus on.
There’s no reason to drag this thing on and on any longer.
What the Dems want is to hunt for more information to possibly damage Trump. The GOP controlled Senate should not fall into this trap being laid out.
They had their chance to do it during the impeachment inquiry phase. Adam Schiff already said that they had sufficient evidence to remove Trump. If so, let’s look at those so called “sufficient” evidence to see if it fits his adjective. If they are really sufficient, why do we need more ?
So, We should be making a judgment on what they presented in the articles of impeachment. NO MORE.
1. The PROSECUTION should not be allowed to call a single witness who has not testified already before a House committee involved in the impeachment proceedings.
2. The DEFENSE should be given a lot of latitude to call witnesses, since they haven't had the opportunity to cross-examine any of the House witnesses.
3. ICIG Atkinson is the most notable witness the defense would want to call, since: (A) he DID testify before Schiff's House committee, and (B) Schiff has refused to release the transcript of his testimony. That right there is a giant red flag for any defense attorney.
