Yup, big difference. BJ Clinton committed a crime while Trump has not.

McConnell should tell Schumer the Senate will have the identical witness policy as the investigative committees in the House. Majority witnesses will be unlimited, minority witnesses are subject to the approval of the majority

The house had the opportunity to subpoena them, and challenge defiance in court if they refused. The investigative portion of this impeachment is approaching its end, as soon as they vote. This is the case they want to stand on, bring it.

Tell him to submit it in writing and you’ll get back to him

No crime and no fact witnesses. No case. No conviction.

It’s always totally different when it’s a Democrat.

'Totally Different Situation'

You said it. This process which had totally ignored the rules of reasonableness in the 4th and 5th Amendments to even start an investigation (NO articulatable reasonable suspicion and NO probable causee) has been utterly unconstitutional from the beginning.

I hope they impeach the impeachers.

They issued so-called subpoenas for their back room kangaroo court, but not a real subpoena to the public testimony (which still judged Trump guilty, but was looking for a reason.)

In the Senate Impeachment trial, are they able to introduce facts not in evidence? That is, can they start accusing the president of additional crimes?

They also need to enact the Nadler doctrine of having appeals filed after the votes are taken.

These people have no self awareness. Like Barney Fife, they are making fools of themselves and don’t even recognize it.

“The gentlemen will suspend”

“Schumer Defends Call for Senate Impeachment Trial Witnesses Despite Opposition Under Clinton: ‘Totally Different Situation’”

Yeah. Clinton perjured himself in front of the whole country. Pres. Trump has committed no high crimes or misdemeanors.

Chuck Schumer can always tell you why the only moral, ethical, righteous thing to do is what precisely aligns with the interests of Chuck Schumer. Every time.

“Yeah. Clinton perjured himself in front of the whole country. Pres. Trump has committed no high crimes or misdemeanors.”

How about the Special Counsel investigating Clinton found specific crimes while the Special Counsel investigating Trump came up empty.
