Schumer is not controlling this one

Well see. It only takes 4 gopE senators to side with the dems and shmucky will have full control of the process the same as the dems in the house. romney, collins, burr and rubio or gardner maybe alexander. I would not count schumer out on this.

They had the chance to subpoena these folks....they backed off as soon as the Court got involved. That throws out their obstruction case, too.

yeah it is a totally different situation, Schumer is right

Clinton broke a law (whether we think he should have been impeached on it, or not)

Clinton broke a law, whereas PDJT has not been shown to have even violated a Jaywalking ordinance...
so its a LOT different.

In thre Clinton trial the Senate voted after the Managers presented the case on which witnesses they would call.

The Wiki on the Clinton impeachment is very informative.

That’s a reason to shut it down!!

IF you are in a fight ... a war.. with an unscrupulous person and you are the only one playing fair... YOU WILL LOSE!

The gop has not learned to fight... a few are doing better, but they sat there next to the liar in chief and let him tell such lies I’ve never heard come from congress.... and hated it.. but did nothing.

Smutz was wrong.. he was out of order.. he was making it up as he went... if I had been there, there would have been a fight. I could not stand to listen to them try to destroy a man and let them go on and on.. like smutz did.

This is serious stuff.. it’s no way to treat our President..they have crossed the line ... and everyone seems to be ho hum about it...for God’s sake.. stop this crap before we lose our country....

Trump does not deserve this... any other man would have crumbled and resigned...

He says he’s “afraid they won’t get a fair trial in the Senate”. Biggest laugh of the year and just think, the year is nearly over! He will close out the year remembering the fair shake the president got in the House from his party!

Why is a man with dual citizenship allowed in the US Senate?

Schumer, Schiff, etc. Why do the Jews hate us so much?


You forgot Nadler, Cohen, Raskin, Speier, Duetch……


However, New York Rep. Lee Zeldin and Tennessee Rep. David Kustoff are Republicans and Jewish.

It's totally unfair to ask, "why do "the Jews" hate us so much?" BECAUSE you only have to look to Israel to see the LOVE for President Trump. Furthermore, Congressional Jews are NOT representative of Jews on the whole. They're JINOS and most are lawyers with agendas.

Schumer Sends Letter Including Witness Request List for Senate Trial to Mitch McConnell, Good Luck Chuck

Not sure, but apparently he heard their response too, NO. 8>)

Yes. The whole establishment did not want to expose more of Clinton’s crimes for fear of their own peccadilloes being exposed. And no one wanted the loon Algore to be president. The Clinton cover up is what led to Hillary believing she was untouchable. The RATS blackmailed everyone they could. And they have used the vast powers of the government to gather unbelievable amounts of information about everyone. Evil.

Agreed. These are the secular Jews that were thrown out of Europe for their communistic lean. How many articles have you read that began with, “As a white person” then laid into white people? Then when called out, “But I’m a Jew!” They are communists first who use being Jewish as a shield.

I thought the house sent it’s prosecution team over to present the evidence it found to support the impeachment article.
And the prosecution has to provide ALL information gathered in it’s investigation to the defense.
The Senate is the Jury, not an investigative body in this instance.
Chuck - you can call no witnesses.
Whoever Pelosi sends over will call on the witnesses to support testimony already collected.
President Trumps team will defend him.
John Roberts presides.
Welcome to big boy court Mr. Schiff and Mr Nadler.

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

There will be no trial. Mitch McConnell is as dirty and any democrat.

Hypocrisy and then again its about pure partisan politics and not about any objective standards.

“There’s no analogy.”

He’s correct on two points.

There’s no valid analogy AND it’s not 1999 anymore.

Surely even he realizes it is folly to appeal to our sense of fairness and equality when we are locked into existential war.

These boys bit off more than they can chew and we aim to see them hanging from a tree.
