    Default This trial goes one of two ways...

    The Republicans could refuse to allow witnesses next week and then vote to dismiss, that would end it. The Republicans may likely pay a big price for that., and I suspect some are unwilling to support it, will there be four who are unwilling? This may also be what the Democrats secretly hope will happen, setting up the argument going into the election that Republicans can’t be trusted to protect us from a radical and unstable Trump. That argument won’t work on the die hard Trumppers, but what about the moderates?

    Then there is option 2. Less likely than what I’ve outlined above, but it’s possible 4 Republicans vote to allow witnesses, like Bolton and Mulvaney. The result would be a months long protracted slug fest in and out of the courts, with an unpredictable result sometime much closer to November. The effect on the election would by much less predictable. The unpredictability for both sides is why I think they will go for option one.

    The American people deserve, either way it swings the pendulum, to have all the facts, and thus we deserve option two! The Senators crave preservation of their power so we will more likely get option 1.

    It’s so bogus, the Trumpublicans are trying to get this over with before the State of the Union, so Trump can do a victory lap for his cult. If it’s still hanging over his head, he won’t get to do that and he’ll be very unhappy.

    So, this is about ensuring that this does not end before the SOTU speech.

    You are trying to remove a sitting president that the people elected and you are worried that it will end before the SOTU speech.

    You need help, Snowflake.

    If you truly believe that we deserve all the facts... then why are you not calling Pelosi and the House Dems out for their complete failure to do so in the House? Why did they rush the House vote if they really wanted witnesses?

    Or he won't be removed and will be re elected.

    America will sit back and do nothing as if their hands are tied.

    I think the Dems get all the ones they want, so do Republicans.

    Ciaramella, Misko, Schiff are required if Dems want any of theirs. Either they WANT to hear it ALL or they do not.

    You are okay with it, Trump* says he is okay with it...

    Why are these horrible Senators so against it? I mean the ones who are coordinating with Trump*, the ones who say they are working with him every step of the way, why not just give the Democrats witnesses? Then the ReTuks can say they truly gave a detailed trial and still found him to be fully innocent of the charges... Why not?

    Please call Shiff, please!!! I think that would back fire on you. You need witnesses that exonerate Trump. Republicans know calling Shiff would be a waste. They won’t do it.

    Jarod, did you see Trump admitting you obstruction on video today! He’s his own worst enemy! No wonder they won’t let him testify!
