Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE - day 5
Excellent prayer by chaplain.
Just give them a little more time to spin up their lie machine. The shortness of the President’s presentation has caught them off guard.
Schumer press conference.
Witnesses and documents! Team Trump made the case for more witnesses and documents in order to find Trump’s intent (intent is not relevant, chuckeee)
Challenges Trump to offer witnesses to “participate” in the fair process the Senate is running.
Does not think council did a good job. Gaping holes in testimony. The quid pro quo was for a meeting, not for military assistance.
Nobody denies that the House mamanagers made a good case. Witnesses will make it a better case.
Schumer telegraphs thyat the House managers will have time at the podium. Merkley if Oregon says witnesses are necessary for the House managers to meet their burden of proof. Not having witnesses is like a trial in Russia or China.
Yep, today’s mantra is that we need witnesses based on what the lawyers said today.
They are disgusting. As you know, Woodruff and the others are grasping at straws.
Agreed. Philbin was the easiest to listen to. He made his case without any nervousness or hesitations in speech. He was clear and spot on.
Yep. Debbie Sabenow being interviewed on FNC now stating that all of this just strengthens the need for witnesses.
I would like to imagine Adam Schiff in a Senate bathroom having just punched a mirror. The lawyers all but called him corrupt today.
I just changed the channel watch ID TV cant stand Cavuto!!!
They started shortly after ten and finished precisely at noon, so less than two hours.
+10000000000
Someone should hand him a gun, bullets and instructions.
Is Stabenow correct that Justice Roberts can rule from the Sebate floor on issues about executive privilege and relativity of witnesses? First time I have heard this.
“DEM/press reaction to this will play into how Team Trump runs the rest of their presentation. Everybody oin the senate has already decided how to vote, what’s the point in further presentation?
If the press blows this off as “not persuasive,” then the public is going to see 24 hours of deep state exposure, and it is going to be personal.”
Excellent point. The Trump team will have the whole weekend to see how the media and the dimoKKKRATS respond to this opening presentation and they will respond to it on Monday and Tuesday.
I watch FBN except CAVUTO!!!
Seems to me they contested quite a few facts. Were you listening, Schifty, you bug-eyed freak?
I feel good. :)

they need witnesses, etc to extend this farce longer next week to keep Crazy Bernie, Lie-awatha, and others from campaigning in Iowa, NH...
the establishment clearly has chosen Sleepy Joe, their primary is a sham.
they followed up with Sen. Schumer and Senator Merkley of Oregon. Both of them repeated Kaine almost verbatim.
Merkley claimed there was a house resolution on Oct. 31 to allow subpoenas. Long after the process started.
Duckworth is now ranting and raving about soldiers have a duty to disobey unlawful orders.
It’s pathetic.
They are trying to drown out the first 2 hours of the Republican presentation. I suspect new witnesses will be all that is talked about the Sunday news show.
