Should the Senate Allow Witnesses Be Called During the Impeachment Trial?

[MontyPython]

Should the Senate call witnesses to testify during the impeachment trial?

My understanding is that every past impeachment proceeding held by the Senate has, indeed, called witnesses to testify during their respective trial.

EDIT: 3 witnesses provided depositions for the Clinton trial, but were not called to testify as live witnesses.

Yes, the Senate should call witnesses

 

[volfanjustin]

as long as they start with Eric Ciaramella, bug eyed schiff and crack head baby Biden

 

[luthervol]

Yes, especially considering the latest info from Parnas and the communications from Giuliani.

Your mind was made up before this latest form of Michael Avenatti came in to your life

 

[hog88]

I say yes but OP you have your facts wrong. No witnesses testified at the Clinton impeachment trial, 3 provided depositions that were introduced to the Senate.

My mind was made up within a week of Trump entering the race.

Which is pretty much the same thing. They can do that this go around if that's the compromise needed.

So has the House. That worked out well.

Luth you have serious problems to believe the Parnas stuff man. Everybody can see it's BS that is trying to be lumped on the main BS.

They have the testimony from the house hearings.

If that's true, then let him testify under oath; the repubs. should be able to eat him alive.

 

[luthervol]

They have the testimony from the house hearings.

Of course, but they are in need of additional testimony.

 

[MG1968]

Just like Pelosi made up the rules as the House went along. I say let Mitch make up the rules for the Senate hearings.

It's going to be a partisan crap-fest anyway.

 

[hog88]

Of course, but they are in need of additional testimony.

Are they? So what you're saying is that the testimony and evidence provided to them by the House is insufficient for a conviction?

 

[volfanjustin]

My mind was made up within a week of Trump entering the race.

So did the "leaders" of your party, and that's the problem. It's also why most sane people know this is a partisan sham

He's their latest form of Cohen and Avenatti

Every impeachment trial ever.....including the ones run by the senate on judges, has gathered additional information.
I thought you were usually above straight walking the right wing line.

I voted yes on having witnesses. BUT if the House evidence and testimony isn't sufficient enough to garner a conviction should they have impeached?

So did 50% of America, and that's the problem with Trump. He was known to be pathetic and guilty from the start.

Only thing he is guilty of is beating the most qualified person to ever run for president and making you loons show us exactly how radical you all actually are.

 

[C/O]

Roll out the same rules for Clinton’s.

 

[Mick]

Trump is guilty of doing what he is accused of doing. The GOP is guilty of trying to cover it up and even participating in trump illegal shakedown of a foreign country and a disinformation plot against the American people.

The Biden Hoax is a real hoax orchestrated by team Trump.

Pompeo hasn't refuted anything. My guess is he won't, at least not until he's sure he's not going to be put under oath and have to defend a denial.

Devin Nunes now remembers talking to Giuliani associate Lev Parnas after previously saying he couldn't recall his name
