Schumer warns of reckoning for Republican senators who vote against witnesses in impeachment trial
MarketWatch ^ | January 31, 2020 | By Victor Reklaitis

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.

Chuckie, best bite your tongue. Your party leaders (you and Nervous Nancy) have demonstrated first hand how the two of you are able to totally erase years of self-rule, just by your actions and votes in the O-care bill/law. We continue to attempt to put the nation’s health care structure back together again. It is apparent Nancy has NO interest in our Constitution and never attempts to follow this document properly.

Suggest you and she, sit down, shut up and continue to pick your nose or clean your teeth. Sleeze bags are a dime a dozen. How much is d’rat party worth?

There won’t be any reckoning. The latest polls show ( Monmouth) show that America doesn’t want Trump impeached, and secondly they don’t want to waste anymore time and treasure on subsidizing the Democrat political campaign against the President.

The reckoning will be a withdrawal of caucus support of any of their re-election and a plan to primary any Republican senator who votes for witnesses. That’s the reckoning.Mitch McConnell has made that clear in Senate GOP caucus meetings, and individually in some cases.Those who vote for witnesses will get no money for re-election from Mitch.And they will be primaried.

Schumer is again a low life theatrical idiot.And now a pathological liar , lying about already proven facts placed in evidence by the Dems themselves, in the trial.None of the evidence matters. Theatrical idiocy wants to govern the nation. amd so Shumer and his collective of hoodwinkers deserve nothing but ridicule and a possible literal kick in the ass.

The Semate will gain many democrat seats in November. This is NOW what this is all about.

Hey Chuck!

That's NOT the "reckoning" you should be concerned about!

You notice he always has that droopy left eyelid?

I read somewhere once years ago, that the drooping left eyelid is a sign of the habitual criminal.
Somebody who is congenitally predisposed to criminal behavior.

Voting FOR witnesses would do them more electoral harm, by far!

remind me is threatening a member of the jury a crime? Could the Chief Justice hold Schumer in contempt of court?

Oh the questions this brings up.

Greg Gutfeld said it yesterday, to paraphrase, “They hated you before, they hate you now, they will hate you in the future.”
Nothing will change, nothing matters. End the sham.
