    Yes, easy to handle a trial with zero testimony from the prosecution.

    The vote for witnesses comes after the opening statements. This whole dem clown show today is about interviewing witnesses before they make opening statements.

    The exertion of executive privilege for the four witnesses. It's pretty clear it applies, with Nixon's tapes and actual crimes and discussions about those matters but the got it worked out in three months. Pretty simple question here, does the presidential privileged communications act that Sukelow went into in detail with precedent cases and court rulings today was pretty cut and dried. The act applies. You did listen to his presentation didn't you? I've already cite OLC and DOJ opinions even from Janet Reno. Congress wants to challenge it go to court.

    Joe Biden’s problem isn’t that he was smeared by an unfounded conspiracy theory. It is that he has failed to recognize he engaged in the appearance of a conflict of interest in Ukraine that he was ethically obligated to avoid. ~ Soloman

    Wait...what's happening right now?

    McConnell asked to stack the amendments, Schuner refused and said we would have vote, but that we could continue tomorrow and then McConnell did something?

    Isn't that sort of like Nancy Pelosi's infamous "You have to pass the bill in order to know what's in the bill," statement?

    You do not have a single court case recognizing the validity of absolute immunity. It has been challenged and ruled non-existent most recently in December.

    Or how about, "It isn't the facts that matter, it's the seriousness of the allegations."

    There is a quorum call...essentially the senators might be meeting to negotiate on what happens next.

    Some are saying, and Giuliani says he has documentation, that they were laundering taxpayer dollars sent overseas.

    Anyone notice they are presenting all of their 'evidence' which is all innuendo, hearsay, and presumption today?

    He is still impeached? Yes? With more yes votes than any previous president? Yes? Trump is still one of the most unpopular Presidents to ever seek re-election? Yes? Democrats have passed ~275 bipartisan bills, including on drug pricing and gun violence and the USMCA? Yes?

    Nah, I think we are good.

    To quote Jeffries, "and if you dont know, now you know."

    Hirano just spoke to the press. Very uninspiring.

    They came prepared to argue the amendments. Trump's legal defense team is left going, "We arent able to make our arguments the way we wanted and we dont want to argue the amendments."

    The dem clown show didn't do their job in the House so they want a do-over in the Senate. That's not how it works.
