Dems drumbeat for witnesses is nothing more than wanting to use this trial as their 2020 campaign stage. It would require another 4-6 months right up to election push.
My counter? Nothing stopping the Hosue from issuing subpoenas today. What are they waiting for?
Now here’s Chuck U. calling for witnesses.
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.
