Schumer: Odds Are Against Having Witnesses in Impeachment Trial
Breitbart ^ | 01/23/2020 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 01/24/2020 6:20:10 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview with MSNBC during their Senate impeachment trial coverage on Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that the Senate not getting witnesses during its impeachment trial is more likely than them getting witnesses.

Schumer stated, “[H]ow it will have to happen is not one person doing it, but a couple of them, when they talk privately say, maybe we should do it and get a group together of five or six or seven, and they do it together. Is that certain to happen? Not at all. Is it more [likely] than not? I’d have to say no. It is not more [likely] than not. But do we have a chance, and if we keep fighting as hard as we’ve been fighting, might those chances improve? Yes.”

Neither the dems nor the pubs want the corruption thing looked into.

However, the rats do want to claim that the trial didn’t look at evidence. Therefire, it’s a win-win to them.

Therefore I predict there will be about a 1% chance there will he witnesses.

“Odds Are Against Having Witnesses in Impeachment Trial”

Translated: “We can’t control what Biden might blab, and too many people would be paying attention. Too risky to the Narrative.”

Someone pointed out the parallel yesterday from Band of Brothers, when Winters demanded a Court Martial from Sobel instead of just taking the punishment for the BS charge that Sobel charged him with.

Yep because the corrupt Facists in the Democrat Party are all for witness they call. Totaly unwilling to have Joe Biden come up and explain this

If there are witnesses, Joe and Hunter need to be the first two, period. They are both at the heart of this debate.

The Rats know that they'd have a damn difficult time explaining their vehement opposition to Plugs,Coke Addled Son and the "Whistleblower" giving sworn testimony.

What they'll do is claim,after the not guilty verdict is handed down,that "if only {insert name here} had testified..."

What is to keep the Republicans in the Senate from voting their majority to exclusively have witnesses that were denied them by the Dem majority in the House in the impeachment proceedings to make this fair and just have the Bidens, the whistleblower and Schiff testify and make this whole thing about the Dem corruption?

Told Liberal in-laws weeks ago:

"Democrats don't have the guts to allow the witnesses the GOP would call and they have no assurance their witnesses would help their fishing expedition."

Ypu - They do not want witnesses like Biden(s) either, and this way they can say evil GOP cover up and the GOP Senate is just Trump Lap Dogs, so vote Dem in 2020

I been telling you guys for weeks. Mitch is not gonna allow Trump’s team to hold a Trump Rally in the Senate. Anyone whose interests coincide with Mitch’s will “coincide with Mitch’s” which will just make that outcome even more likely. Surprise, surprise!

As the list of “witnesses” grows eventually Mitch’s wife will be on the list. That list doesn’t have a prayer of even starting.
