    The "Liberal Hack" Laura Ingraham had the audacity to ask this question FOUR times and McSally dodged everytime.

    McSally appears to have responded poorly to the fact that she now faces a more popular and better funded political opponent, former astronaut Mark Kelly. She has embraced Trumpian tactics (refusing to apologize and campaigning off the backlash from this event) after her pre-elected years of calling Trump disgusting.

    And you might feel bad for her, but don't. Meghan McCain reminds us all that McSally "didn't earn" that seat.

    Every Republican that is against calling witnesses at the Senate trial does so because they don't want to hear what the witnesses may have to say. And the only witnesses the prosecution seems to want to call are the Biden's in a desperate attempt at some kind of "look, he's corrupt TOO so what Trump did wrong doesn't matter".

    People with nothing to hide don't have a problem with witnesses.

    Oh please.

    You folks have done nothing but call witnesses for the last three years and you've come up with zilch.

    This is more of a case of ending a waste of time.

    Remember every witness called over the years was going to be the next bombshell that brought down Trump?

    Nothing but a joke.

    Time to end this and maybe finally get back to work.

    Trump blocked all witness's that had first hand accounts of Trumps corruption.

    If the Senate denies the firsthand witness's to appear then the Sham Trial in the Senate will show Americans Trump was guilty

    Innocent's do not Hide the evidence

    Likely the Republicans will be Vote out of office for their failure to uphold their Oath if no witness's are called.

    this whole process is interesting, because we are seeing exactly which Republicans are willing to take that next step towards fascism.

    It was the House's responsibility to call witnesses and to build its case. That's all McSally should have to say. Whether or not she'll vote on witnesses, is something she can decide when the time comes. The media or the public is not privy to the jury's vote(just as they wouldn't be in any other circumstance.)

    Doesn't matter what they do for people like you.

    You've already convicted Trump, you don't even need a trial.

    There is absolutely no way that anything less than impeachment would be called a sham by you.

    It's because of folks like you that there are thousands of innocent people sitting in prison today.

    In every previous Senate impeachment trial, new witnesses and documents were considered despite not being reviewed or considered by the House.

    The House only had witnesses they thought were favorable to them but none could identify a crime. I think Schiff and the whistle blower should be called and probed as to how they 1st cooked up this scheme.

    Trump denied access to nearly a dozen more witnesses that Democrats wanted and he was perfectly permitted to present the testimony of any witness that was favorable and relevant.

    Because, like I said, you've already convicted Trump even before he's had a trial.

    Tell me one thing that could happen during the trial that would make you think Trump should be acquitted?

    Simply ......... No distraction .......If Trump Is Innocent he would prove it with first hand witness's

    However Trump is a person who steals from Charities and the retired military........ proven in a court of Law

    “Martha McSally Refuses to Answer Fox News Question After Attacking CNN Reporter For Same Question”

    You boys and girls are misusing (devaluing) the meaning of that word. It’s not quite nearly as worthless as what you have done with the race card yet, but I suspect it may get there.

    Under no circumstances does “you’re a liberal hack, I’m not talking to you” qualify as being attacked. Are you libs that desperate to be victims 24/7? It’s rather pathetic.

    The Majority of witnesses HAVE been adding to the Bombshell but people like you have so much wax packed in your ears you cannot hear anymore.

    I'll remind you of this the next time someone complains about discrimination or attack for wearing a MAGA hat.

    Why didn't they tale it to the court if these witnesses were so credible? I know they used the excuse time was of the essence. Then they took their time delivering to the Senate.

    In this country, it is not up to you to prove innocents in the absence of a crime.

    Two unsubstantiated charges does not equal "several crimes".

    Of all the locations were witnesses should be called, an impeachment trial tops the list. What are you afraid of?

    No, but if you want your innocence to be taken seriously and believed, you need to offer up a defense that counters the prosecution and shows why it's wrong. A person who does not defend themselves from credible charges appears even more guilty. Granted, nobody is saying that Trump has to call witnesses to make his case, that's his choice. As it should be the choice of the prosecution on whether to call witnesses to make THEIR case.

    A) still ****ed up to accuse him of being the reason that thousands of innocent people are in jail.

    B) That is easy theoretical ask. I would acquit Trump if he drops all blocks on subpoenas for witness and documents. I would give him bonus points if he would testify himself. But either way, he would need to put the full force the bully pulpit behind getting Senators to agree and permit that evidence. That gets him an acquittal from me on the Obstruction of Congress article.

    And then I would grant him an acquittal on the Abuse of Power charge if every witness and document supports the defensive point that Trump never intended or took steps that gave the reasonable impression that he wanted to pressure Ukraine into announcing an investigation against his domestic political rivals by withholding hundreds of millions in military aid and a requested meeting. So that is witness testimony from Giuliani, Bolton, Perry, Mulvaney, OMB directors, emails, texts, memos, etc. all pointing to a different theory of the case than the one presented by the House Managers.

    Easy, right?

    I answered your theoretical. Now tell me the one thing that could happen during the trial that would make you think Trump should be removed?
