New article from the Hill saying McConnell met with Murkowski this morning and has her onboard regarding witnesses. TIFWIW

Voting for or against?

-- Has anyone asked the House managers if their actions in pursuing the impeachment, are being done for their own political benefit. --

heheheh.

Not in personal terms, but "this is a purely political impeachment" implies as much.

“This whole operation is an embarrassment to intelligence”

What IS this? I guess I thought questions would be asked by the dems and responded to by the repubs and vice versa. . . These questions are obviously known and answered beforehand, so what’s the point? Waste of more time and money. End this charade please, someone, and let’s move on to the work of the people.

It is quite obvious that the questions being asked were given to the respective sides before this event. Giving them time to prepare answers and slide shows to support answers to the questions. Hopefully we will get to a point where there are challenge questions crossing the sides instead of softball questions from one side to it’s representatives on the two boards.

They’ll run out of the scripted stuff before they run out of Q&A time.

Just one question here..are we winning? Cause the evil dirty rats are very well prepared ...republicans seem to be sorta bewildered and not pressing harder. ScHIT is mopping the floor with all his lies. The new talking point “King”.. Please don’t flame I’m just making a tad observation!

Schiff arguing that taking advantage of constitutional rights justifies them to short-cut the process to effectively take away those rights.

I’m thinking of the movies I’ve seen, people I know, and books I’ve read and trying to think of anyone as smarmy, slimy, and pompous as Schitt is. He’s uniquely despicable. I can’t imagine how his wife lives with him. Shudder.

The McConnell boat, the USS Witness, is heading for the island of no witnesses. If Murkowski is on board, she will vote against witnesses. Of course, she can change her mind.

Haven’t been able to watch much, but keep hearing “abuse of power”.
Since when did THAT become one of the charges for impeachment?
Thought it was abuse of Congress, which is exactly what the Demonrats are themselves proving to be most guilty of!

If they get all 53 Republicans and around 10 Democrats to acquit, as I expect...

You have higher expectations than me. I don't expect a single dem to vote to acquit, and do expect Romney and one other to vote to convict.

The letter sent to Bolton about classified info was a warning to Bolton. If he does get called I cannot see how he can answer any questions without endangering himself. Not that I actually believe there would be any punishment.
