Just heard Mucky Chucky Schumer basically say the same thing, that Trump’s team actually made the case for additional witnesses and the documents that they’ve been wanting.

The House is free to pursue any witness and document they want.

Duckworth just said that the President had to prove his innocence.

Fox Business has a great blend as I’m learning. Although I’ll tune into to Greg on Fox News as he’s so entertaining as is Waters.

I’ve never been impressed with the gals.....too many hormones and screeching voices for my taste.

If they still want witnesses so had, then they don’t get to pick and choose ours and team Trump should make that clear. We want “whistleblower” who kicked it all off and we want the Bidens. If they won’t agree to our witnesses then case dismissed.

“they need witnesses, etc to extend this farce longer next week”

Straight out of the Kavanaugh playbook. Delay, delay, delay. What do they think additional witnesses will say? There is absolutely nothing anyone can possibly say that will change the facts of this Schiff show.

Schiff is a delusional psychotic nut. May he continue to be the face of not only thissick, absurd impeachment, but of the entire Democrat party.

Isn’t that amazing? That some of the fools in the spinate act as though they are hearing these facts for the very first time? I have seen them as the uninformed foos they are only fed the pablum that their deranged staffers feed them.

My counter? Nothing stopping the Hosue from issuing subpoenas today. What are they waiting for?

I'll tell you what I think is holding them up.

Based on the testimony today, the obstruction of Congress charge falls apart because Schiff's subpoenas were illegal since there was no prior vote from the House as a whole to authorize the committee to issue subpoenas.

If Pelosi now calls for a vote to legitimize subpoenas from Schiff's and Nadler's committees, that would make the obstruction charge moot and the Republicans should move to have that article of impeachment dismissed.

That would then leave only the abuse of power charge left, and that comes down to removing the President over a phone call and a meeting not taken?

So the Democrats are stuck with trying to get the Senate to do the job that the House failed (or strategized not) to do.

If the Democrats need more witnesses, they’re admitting their case is a loser.

No wonder they sat on their turd impeachment for a month after voting for it.

Seems to me the Dems are stating they need more witnesses and documents to be able to make up their mind...

If that's the truth, then if they dont get the witnesses and documents wouldn't they have to vote to acquit based on lack of evidence?

First words out of Cavutos mouth was a lie. Trumps lawyers emphatically stressed corruption was behind Trumps decision on Ukraine aid.

I’m sure that Mr. Potato Head asked the obvious question,”Why do you need more witnesses when your evidence is overwhelming as you’ve stated”?

The Dems are not delusional. Everything they do is calculated. They are taking every bit of the political battlefield the GOP surrenders to them.

The House had the authority to subpoena witnesses after the full House finally took the vote to authorize the inquiry.

But they chose not to do so because it would certainly go to court, and they wanted the have President Trump impeached by Christmas.
