    That is not how it works, the standard of evidence required for indictment is lower than the standard of evidence required for conviction, it is expected that the Senate would get more evidence. As a prosecutor I always got more evidence for the trial than they had at the indictment.

    Surely there were others in the meeting.

    The Trump lawyers have presented a compelling case that there is no compelling case for impeachment, no matter what Bolton says.

    The outcome is not in doubt.

    Anyone on the planet thinks there are 20 Republicans who will vote for impeachment?

    Failure ...again for the Democrats.
    The Trump lawyers indeed, Earl (thank you), did underline the very compelling case against the Trump.

    What do you think Bolton is going to say that the other 17 witnesses haven’t said?

    And why doesn’t Schiff want the Senate to call his 17 witnesses that testified in the House?

    And the standard of the evidence is even lower for *an investigation*, right counselor?

    Because they will be made to look like idiots in front of the Senate with their opinions, presuppositions and assumptions about Trump’s intent lol?

    The superb Trump lawyers made a compelling case that:

    (1) The impeachment violated the Constitution in its origins. The Constitution says that the full House (not a committee) has sole authority for impeachment.This is supported by a Supreme Court decision.

    (2) The House managers have not presented a compelling case (or any case) that the Articles rise to the impeachment level.

    (3) The defense lawyers have humiliated the House managers by showing video after video of them saying things in total opposition to what they said in the Clinton impeachment.

    (4) “Hope to have a final vote on impeachment on Friday.”

    Senator Barrasso.

    Put a fork in this abomination.

    If they are not HIDING "IT"...….just present the proof of any criminal activity, such as getting kickbacks on Foreign US AID to other nations that the democrat crime families (the Clintons, Bidens, Pelosi's, Kerry's....etc.).

    There is a paper trail of documented examples of how these left wing crime families are laundering US TAX PAYER funds into made up business corporations. Hell, all the above are already under criminal investigation by Durham. All hell is about break lose when "RUDY" gets his day in court...……


    This entire impeachment thing was not about getting rid of Mr. Trump.....it was about covering up the crimes of these left wing treasonous bastards. They are coming to the end of their rope.....they are using what's left (pun intended) to hang themselves by demanding Witnesses in the Senate Impeachment Tribunal...which will only serve to open a real SPECIAL COUNCIL senatorial investigation into these "ALLEGED" (wink, wink) crime families.

    (1) The impeachment is supported by the Constitution in its origins.

    (2) The House managers have presented a very compelling case (one could say 'a perfect') for impeachment.

    (3) The House managers have humiliated the Defense lawyers by establishing the facts of the Articles and how they rise to impeachment level.

    (4) Witnesses will be heard.

    (5) The impeachment has brought out the crimes of the entire Trump wing.

    Yeah....compelling.....The defense shredded 24 hrs of left wing hyperbolic bloviation in less than 2 hrs. The Art to winning any war is KNOWING YOUR ENEMY. Your guild has been engaged in combat with Donald John Trump since Jun 2015 (the minute he declared his bid for presidency). How many battles have you engaged? How many have you won? -0- You have used your entire left wing playbook of lying, cheating, stealing....etc., against him, and he is but days of being "exonerated" of everything you lying asses have accused over a 4 year period. You have real "mental" issues if you think that 67 republicans and democrat senator will remove a sitting POTUS void of any CRIME being charged or proved.

    1. Trump will never actually run for the office of President....its a publicity stunt. Trump begins an honest run for POTUS. 2. He will never win the republican primaries...he is not fit for office....then comes an all media blitz accusing Trump of everything from being a rapist, to a bigot, to a sex pervert, to an anti-feminist ass grabbing prick, to being an anti-Semite....all it accomplished was FREE PUBLICITY.

    3. Once in office...the plan to impeach began. The fake Russia Collusion attempt to frame him....after YEARS of wasted tax money and false testimonies by leftists and the media....The Muller Report cleared Trump of any crimes or collusion.

    4 Now the fake Ukrainian set-up. How's that going for ya? Within days....Trump will be exonerated and the Impeachment will historically be remembered as a left wing HOAX where the left thought they were ABOVE THE LAW.

    What's next after Trump is cleared? Ask AG BARR and SPECIAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR "DURHAM"

    Myself and most other Republicans are very much interested what Hunter, Eric Ciaramella and some others will say. My objection to calling witnesses is that it legitimizes half-assed, partisan impeachments. Which means this certainly won’t be the last one.
    and why would ROBERTS allow them to be called as witnesses?

    Roberts has no say about anything during a senate impeachment trial....he is but a figure head. The senators will by a simple UP/DOWN vote determine if witnesses will be called or not. The duty of the SCOTUS judge residing over the tribunal is to make sure that the RULES OF THE SENATE are adhered in an honest fashion. He is nothing but a Sgt.at Arms with no more power than that of the VP (who would break any tie in an up/down vote).

    Damn you leftists are totally ignorant about anything concerning the RULE OF LAW. Its the REPUBLICAN "CACUS" that establishes the rules for this impeachment hearing....not SCOUTS. The Senate has the sole duty to conduct an impeachment trial ….SOLE: look it up. The judge is nothing but an arbitrator of the Senate Rules for Impeachment. If a majority of senators want witnesses (whoever they wish to call as material witnesses) they will get witnesses. If Roberts makes a ruling....all it would take is 51 votes to make that ruling null and void in a senate impeachment tribunal.

    How do you do that? Stutter while typing an attempt to erect a strawman argument? Again....let's burn that strawman to the ground (an argument that has nothing to do with the argument presented to you....as you attempt to deflect by starting another totally different argument). I will agree with you if you can present the CRIME that Mr. Trump has 1. Been charged with 2. been indicted over 3. found guilty of......and presented in an article of impeachment.

    Proceed: We are intelligent enough to read a CODE LAW NUMBER, either in common law, federal law, or constitutional law. Proceed....show us the criminal code you are speaking about that Trump is being charged of breaking.

    Your side presented nothing but 24 hrs of bloviated subjective Bull Shit....you rehashed the same soviet style talking points that you did in the congressional basement.....you never charged nor proved that any law had been broken by Mr. Trump. The defense demonstrated it to be a joke in less than 2 hours. Trump has been exonerated.....anything in the future is simply icing on a cake.
