I am not so sure the Bidens are a distraction ....Trump's request for an investigation by Ukraine into Biden activities is central to the perfectly correct defense that the president acted in our nation's interests. I feel Biden taking the Fifth would greatly harm the Rat's prosecution.

-- The hope of the defense is that there are at least a couple of Dims that have sufficient conscience and respect for the system to vote no on this fiasco. --

I doubt they care one whit. There are ZERO honorable democrats. Some might flip for expediency, but all of them are swamp creeatures.

The defense is playing to the public, hoping to win at the November ballot box. The impeachment case is just the current "stage" for conducting the polkitical battle. The DEMs chose this battleground.

I would like to add to all of this that I would be far, far kinder to the copperhead, who has no choice to do anything other than what copperheads do, than I would being to a man named Adam, who chose to be what he is.

They don’t want to lose everything AND go to prison. Surprising what you will do and say to avoid that.

-- It frustrates me beyond words that this farce is still continuing ... --

I was rattled when one of the usual suspects (Harris Faulkner) said the July 25 phone call could be fairly read the way the DEMs were reading it., And that was within minutes of the call record being made public. To my mind, it takes bad faith to read the DEM view into that call record. There is no way a person can, in good faith, read that call as referring to an impeachable offense.

they need witnesses, etc to extend this farce longer next week to keep Crazy Bernie, Lie-awatha, and others from campaigning in Iowa, NH...

the establishment clearly has chosen Sleepy Joe, their primary is a sham


Well it would give the DNC cover when Bernie bitches about a rigged convention. ..then maybe those psycho Bernie supporters might vote for Biden.

...it’d be political suicide to vote for witnesses after the rock solid, compelling case put on by the President’s legal team this AM.

Voting for witnesses after this morning's testimony would literally be Senate Republicans snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Shiff answers Manu Raju, no, not a mistake to do heads on pikes of say the senators opposed to winesses are engaged in a cover up. That is typical conduct,k he says, of people who know their client is guilty., They attack the prosecutor. we expect they will attack us, because Trump is guilty.

Schiff says Trump has put the whistlebolower’s life in jeopardy.

First trial in history without witnesses. Mulvaney! Bolton! Duffy! Blair!

This presser is nearly as long as the president’s presentation.

Can Roberts REALLY unilaterally force witnesses in his sole discretion? That’s what Stabenow (Rat-MI) claimed on Cavuto in the post-game coverage.

Not a lawyer, but that is BS. He is just the referee for the trial. He could render a legal opinion if legal questions about a witness subpoena came up.
