Lindsey Graham joins Democrats in backing witnesses, saying, ‘If you want a delay, it will be a long one with many, many witnesses.’
Former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial looked on track to last longer than expected after the Senate voted on Saturday morning in favor of calling witnesses.
Witnesses hadn’t been expected in the proceedings, but the lead House manager, Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, said on Saturday morning that his team wanted to call Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington state after she released a statement late Friday that said Trump on Jan. 6 resisted telling his supporters to stop storming the Capitol.
Those five GOP senators included four known for criticizing Trump — Maine’s Susan Collins, Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Utah’s Mitt Romney and Nebraska’s Ben Sasse. South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, also voted for calling witnesses, after tweeting on Saturday morning that, “If you want a delay, it will be a long one with many, many witnesses.”

What a moron! First he tweets against witnesses and 5 minutes later he votes for it?
China Rising.
They want lebensraum and the U.S. is perfect. God save us!!
This fiasco makes a mockery of our justice system.
Justice Roberts should walk in and shut it down.
Might as well have the fight now.
It’s not going to get any better.
Maybe to delay voting on disastrous bills? This is just being hopeful.
Republicans are part of the enemy, that’s why I left that useless party long ago. Now I can stop voting for them too since there are no real elections anymore.
*************
The party doesn’t vote for us so why should we vote for them?
Lou Dobbs was right about this Judas during the last election.
Bkm
Yes, but Graham knows that the Democrats plus one, can deny Trump important witnesses.
This is GOOD in my opinion. Now Trump can show the Fraud that took place in the election.
Agree. This is actually a VERY GOOD thing to have happen.
Will definitely serve to “clear the air”
Maybe. But couldn’t they just push poison pills and pork through on “continuing resolutions?”
Nobody outside of DC gives a wit about what they are doing.
When will the tv advertisers say that’s enough and stop paying for any of this B$!
This dead dog and dead pony show is on hospice care and no one except the dems and some screeching Freepers give a tinkers’ damn.
Actually Republicans manuevering to where this “thing” gets dragged out contiues to make the Rats look foolish, vindictive, hyper-partisan & incompentent. Also it prevents Congress from acting on moronic legislation which Xiden will sign. By doing this Xiden has to “rule by decree” using the Constitutionally dubious EOs. I am happy to see that many Republican AGs are now challanging them in federal court.
I was kinda asking GOD for a favor.....:)
It is a circus.
**************
A circus is a far more serious place than the U.S. senate as it actually produces something of value. The people get something for their money.
The senate is strictly a clown show.
“GRAHAM HAS TO BE DEFEATED!!”
Wait a minute. There are multiple other posts on this board expressing glee that witnesses are being called.
Especially if acquittal is already a know factor.
*************
With with spineless Republican Retreaters who knows? Anything can happen. They can cave on a dime.
