Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE - day 8
I keep thinking,no one in their right mind would agree to call Melania because spousal privilege!
Any “privileges” are all the same! They also have similar exceptions. So unless any of those exceptions occur, then the Dems need to be blown off the same way they would if they tried to call his wife. Don’t even entertain their nonsense!
I couldn’t find that linkage.
And if that were the case, then I don’t think he’d be pushing for witnesses knowing that could open up a Burisma can of worms.
He does say, eventually, that if there was suspicion Romney needed to be investigated for, then use any path other than foreign government.
In a way, the Trump team is subtly letting the House managers destroy their own case by droning on and on and repeating themselves over and over.
Johnathan Turley is another good example. Quite liberal, but competent on matters of the Constitution.
Why don’t the Senators cite the treaty with Ukraine that they ratified when asking questions about the legitimacy of Ukraine corruption questions?
Sanders asked Schiff and company why we should trust anything Trump says when the media say he’s lied over 16,000 times in office.
More are metaphors.
Then there’s the large quantities of hamburgers served at a party not actually being a mile in height.
My error in part...
One of Mitt’s key 2012 advisors, a career CIA, J. C. Black, is/was on Burisma’s BOD.
...”Schumer invited Lev Parnas to be his personal guest today at the trial”....(was kicked out)
The rats resorting to intimidation tactics now. They knew beforehand no electronic devices are allowed in the Senate chamber during the trial.

“What a stunning turn of events today to hear Adam Schiff declare from the well of the United States Senate that it is impeachable for a sitting President to allow the Department of Justice to investigate a political rival’s campaign 2016.
Crossfire Hurricane.”
I would imagine that the Judge is a filter for frivilous questions, and those dealing with national security and official secrets. If it had to be done by vote it would take a lot longer and both parties want to get on with election activities.
