Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other top Democrats on Friday slammed an upcoming vote that looks set to result in a quick end to President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial.
The New York lawmaker was responding to Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander’s announcement on Thursday night that he would not vote Friday to hear witnesses in the Senate trial.
“It’s deeply disturbing that on something of such importance to the future of our democracy, a few of my Republican colleagues announced last night they’d vote against hearing additional evidence,” Schumer said at a news conference.
“It’s clear where the American people stand on the issue. Republican senators who decide to go against the will of the people will have to reckon with it.”
On Friday, Schumer aimed to portray the trial as bogus unless it involves witnesses such as John Bolton, the former national security adviser.
“If my Republican colleagues refuse to consider witnesses and documents in this trial, the president’s acquittal will be meaningless, because it will be the result of a sham trial,” the New York Democrat said.

Cuck Schemer strikes out again.
Yeah, I reckon they’ll get re-elected handily.
But, did he wag his finger when he said it?
awwwwwwwwwwwwwww poor Schmucky, hey here’s an idea Schumer, how about your party actually try to be NORMAL for once, bring forth good ideas to help this country, instead of communism, maybe your party would have a chance to win legit..but you cant, your party is overrun with commies so the ONLY way to actually win is by taking it by force
Republicans have no concrn whatsoever against this threat because the Dems will do just what they do anyway.
I hope John Bolton enjoys his new friends.
Yeh, Chuck U Schumer
Heads on pikes?
“ But, did he wag his finger when he said it?”
If not I’m sure he at least looked at them condescendingly over those stupid readers he always wears.
I would say it will be just the opposite Schumer, you IDIOTS have no idea what the hell is going on out in America go ahead and live in your bubble AND then cry when the house is gone and the senate GAINS seats!!! Have you even taken the time to LOOK at his rallies YOU MORON!!!
Even if they allowed witnesses, the Democrats would find some other aspects of the procedure to bitch about, and proclaim that the Senate trial was a sham.
Ironies abound, as so many of us considered the House impeachment process to have been a sham job.
The evolving liberal view, as espoused by Pelosi and others, is that the Senate trial has not been conducted properly, and because of that, the resulting acquittal of Trump will be improper.

Rather fitting for a sham impeachment.
#Seinfeld impeachment
Says the guy who enables the “six ways to Sunday”, seditious, maniacal, intelligence communities by refusing to exercise oversight.
He is half right; it is bogus. Mostly due to the House not allowing cross-examination, not hearing from the whistle faker, holding everything contrary in secret, and not having any crimes in their articles.
Sure - because the Democrats weren’t going to run opponents against the Republicans who voted for witnesses. Democrats and liberals keep offering Republicans unsolicited advice because they love the GOP and want to help it win more elections.
“If my Republican colleagues refuse to consider witnesses and documents in this trial, the president’s acquittal will be meaningless, because it will be the result of a sham trial,”

Right Chuck because refusal to consider witnesses and documents is what will make it a sham.
Sounds like an Ayatollah minutes before launching missiles into a pile of sand
