Rush is making the case that having witnesses testify would be a disaster for demonicRATS. Exposing Adam Schiff-faced as a pathological liar. That almost makes me want to see witnesses.
Hadn’t looked at it from that angle but he does have a point.
No.
As I posted on this topic in November:

Let me relate a lesson from season 2 of The Apprentice.In season 2 only, the show instituted the strategy of "immunity." A successful project manager would receive immunity from being called to the boardroom in the next challenge. By being immune from the boardroom, the winning project manager is guaranteed to survive the next task.
The winner of the first task (Bradford Cohen, lawyer) was on the losing team in week 2. When told that he was immune and can return to the suite, Cohen said that he believed the team should stand or fall together, and refused immunity. The losing project manager brought Cohen into the boardroom, claiming that he slacked off during the task.
In the boardroom, Trump's Executive Vice President and Senior Counsel George Ross told Cohen that he made the cardinal error in business: he took a sure thing and turned it into a gamble. While he lauded his loyalty to his team, he should have taken the immunity and lived to fight another day. Instead, he gave up the immunity and took the gamble of the boardroom. Ross said he should be fired for this blunder, and Trump agreed.
The lesson here is to not trade the sure thing (or closest to it) of the vote to acquit for the gamble of witnesses that will prolong the proceedings where anything can still happen.
While it's laudable to want the satisfaction of calling Biden, Schiff, et. al. to appear under oath, it opens up the President to the risks of a mistake in the Senate trial that might be avoidable.
It's best to take the path that ends this sham at the earliest opportunity possible.
No witnesses....they can go after schiff and Bidens outside this trial and really do a numbr, rather than in this trial which just gives them free media coverage and a stage to further slam Trump.....like a drumbeat every day!.... And thus “protected” from ‘directly’ going after their criminal behavior across the globe and here.
It would, which is why I hope it happens. I don't believe Lindsey Graham or any other legislator will demonstrate an iota of curiosity about Bidens' shenanigans. It'll go right down the memory hole.
Exposing the Bidens will only happen now, in the context of impeachment testimony, showing that the President had every good reason to seek an investigation.
Now or never.
>>>That almost makes me want to see witnesses.<<<
Me too. But not here.
Lindsay Graham as the leader of the Senate Judiciary Committee needs to start an investigation of this coup and make Schiff and Nads his main suspects.
I’ve been saying the same. I also think if push comes to shove, Dems will have designated Senators who will make sure there are no witnesses.
Story breaking on D Caller that Mitch has the votes for no witnesses. It would be disastrous for them in light of revelations of Bolton. The issues with Biden and other criminals needs to be addressed in another venue.
Between polls and the Like/Dislike comments at Impeachment subject articles, it seems that 75 to 80% of respondents would like to have witnesses and more evidence.
