Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE - day 8
Because they know the media has the Dems back. They can get away with anything.
Schiff is making me angry because he gets away with all his lies.
Murkowski just asked a decent question. Shock and awe.
Me too. My jaw is hurting from clenching it. Need a break.
Why won't they ask targeted questions to the Democrats?

So... the Dems get it all wrong I guess. My thinking was that all minds are made up sans some swing from the public. And, we have long since given up a quick summary of the corruption behind the House procedures... Philbin waters it all down by saying, “rushed” - and such similar euphemisms.
That was GREAT wasn’t it putting Romney on notice very SLY!!!
that is my interpretation. It was from Graham and Cruz.
They could have used John Mccain in their example if they had wanted to.
That was my thought too.
I missed it..what happened?
I don't think it matters what Trump believed. What is important is what was objectively true. In this case it was objectively true that an investigation might show that the Bidens were corrupt.
Also, it is not only the Biden's possible corruption that needed to be investigated. Ukraine's possible corruption needed to be investigated. This point is not discussed enough. When Ukraine acquiesced to Joe Biden't threat to withhold aid unless the prosecutor was fired, was that acquiescence corrupt? For example, was there an additional payoff received by some Ukrainian official or other person in exchange for that acquiescence? Has anybody investigated that possibility? Did Ukraine agree to remain silent about Biden's threat and Ukraine's acquiescence? Did Ukraine put out a false story about the threat and the acquiescence? You can probably think of many more possible instances of Ukrainian corruption with regard to Ukraine's acquiescence to Joe Biden's threat.
The American Government had an objectively verifiable interest in finding out whether Ukraine was corrupt in these circumstance. There was an objectively verifiable justification for Trump to request that the Ukrainians conduct such an investigation of themselves.
How do they have a video prepared? Of course it is a dog and pony show where-in the managers have been provided the question long in advance and have canned responses. I will guess these q/a’s have been rehearsed for a couple of days now.
OMG...that is exactly what his sing song intonation reminds me off..I knew there was something but couldn’t put my finger on it.
Schiff finally met a hypothetical he didn’t like!
Hour 13...
Roberts: Question from the Senator from Hawaii to the House Managers...
If the President asked a foreign leader to go live on camera and say that Joe Biden was a caca-doody-poopy-head, would that be an impeachable offense?
-PJ
McCain is DEAD and not going against the caucus, VERY SLICK of Graham and Cruz!!!
Very S I c k !!!!!
Notice that everyone is saying 17 witnesses when there were really 18?
That would certainly explain things. I wish her the best. His team members might believe it would have been better if he had just kept out of this.
that was my point. they had another option.
