Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE - day 8
All of this in the light of Dershowitz etc. warning about a trial without end and the fact that this would be a threat to the country's welfare. The Rats and Romney want to go round and round the mulberry bush, think monkeys and a weasel, over a timing issue that has no bearing on a president's right to pursue corruption wherever it appears to be.
God help us.
Due process issues due to Schiff coordinating with whistleblower.
Philbin says yes
Shocked too. Been that way all day even on the independent line which is usually democraps.
The big show continues...

Chris Heinz emailed the State Department to tell them he had no investment in Hunter and Devon Archer/Burisma activity.
Now WHY would he do that?
WHY would he refer to his Two Amigos (haha) as “Hunter” and “ Devon” rather than “Hunter Biden” and “Devon Archer?” At best, State already knew something really screwy was going on and was looking into it, at worst, Hunter and Devon we’re running around on the Seventh Floor promoting and protecting Zlochevsky and Burisma.
Summary: Most of today/tonight centered on arguments eventually centered on “abuse of power”. A term conveniently argument sided 21st. Century. “Name it” claim it, so D.C. lives opulent.
I won’t bring up Huey Long if you don’t.
Yes, that must have been their Grand Strategy from the start. Use the pressure of the "trial" to force witnesses there, and get Roberts to bypass the courts and rule unilaterally.
I don't understand why Republicans like Romney can't see this clearly?
-PJ
You were younger then. And still believed that democrats were basically good...we were all somewhat naive, I’m sure.
The important thing is NOT ANYMORE BABY!!
MAGA AND KAG!!
Roberts can decide over the Senate if there will be witnesses???
I absolutely hated Clinton. My ex was cheating on me at the time and acted just like Bill. I was no Hillary though. No standing by that man. Looking at it with hind sight maybe Perot was the best choice after all.
Democrats accusing Trump of doing what they did in 2016 through Brennan, Power, Rice, and Comey.
-PJ
Actually not. I just have an ear for picking up soundbite material for defeating democrats, in this instance, those running for office in Louisiana.
Even offered to accept his decisions, even though that's not how it works.
It's Schiff and the Democrats laying a trap.
-PJ
No. He can act as Judge as it pertains to various things to do with a various things but whether or not witnesses will be called at all is up to a vote.
Democrats have been advocating that all day long. I don’t imagine Roberts would want that responsibility and would prefer to bring it through the article three court system or just demand the senators vote.
Roberts can’t force witnesses. It’s up to the three traitors on whether they will vote for them or not.
I voted for Perot, as did 20 million other people. Ross Perot was VINDICATED, as well as all of his voters- TODAY, when POTUS signed the newest trade deal- the USMCA!
Be proud of it, because we are PLANKHOLDERS!
I DID NOT vote for Romney (spit) in the 2012 election... and the USA got a second more disastrous helping of Barry Barrack Hussein Soetoro Soebarkah Rama Lama Ding Dong Obama.
Well, once again, I’m proud of my choice- to abstain (in this case) because we have President Donald John Trump leading our nation!!!
