I would like to see the Senate agree to witnesses, but use “like” rules from the House impeachment. The Defense will have the final say on whether a witness will be allowed.

If you use normal rules on subpoenas...only the Senate committees have this power...not the broad senate itself. An example...the Senate Judiciary Committee could go and issue the subpoenas, but the only GOP guy I can see who’d go and vote on this is Graham...the other 11 GOP guys won’t agree with this. In a 11-11 situation...nothing happens.

Maybe Justice Roberts thinks he has this subpoena power.

So bring in a thousand witnesses. Maybe a zillion.

Nothing will change the truth.

Aid was delivered before the deadline, no investigations, Ukrainians said they were not pressured, etc.

If they didnt require witnesses in the Clinton impeachment why are you so so amenable to witnesses now? Why are you so so happy to aid and abet the democrats in their quest to continue with a constitutionally incoherent charade to degrade the character of the President? The investigation is over the Senate’s job is to acquit or convict.
