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

[evillawyer]

Asking whether a trial should have witnesses is like asking whether an amusement park should have fun rides.

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.

Hi need for a soundbite spiraled out of control it would appear. Though, you kind of get what you deserve when you surround yourself with bozos like Giuliani and his alopecia having henchmen.

I see a few people have watched too much MSNBC this morning

 

[MontyPython]

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

I think there's adequate evidence that Trump is guilty of the obstruction of congress charge. However, the main charge is fluid, and the Dems would be wise to argue that material facts in question should be addressed through witnesses.

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

I really do despise that cow molester Nunes.

Memory is an amazing thing.

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?

Different bar for impeachment and conviction; otherwise, what's the point of the senate even having a role?

If the evidence and testimony gathered by the House and sent to the Senate is sufficient for a conviction, why are witnesses needed?

The ole stacked jury rational not to impeach.

Why impeach if the evidence isn't enough to convict?

 

[tvolsfan]

Why impeach if the evidence isn't enough to convict?

Why indict if the jury works for the perpetrator?

 

[AirVol]

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

Does escalators trigger you?

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

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

No, it's time for the make believe BS to stop.

 

[RikidyBones]

Of course they should. If the Democrats want it so bad, they must accept whoever the Republicans call in. They will still cry about it but that needs to be the way it goes.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

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

None of those people have any specific relevance to the case against our traitorous President

 

[USAFgolferVol]

No, it's time for the make believe BS to stop.

The only thing make believe are the sentiments of the Trumpers

 

[USAFgolferVol]

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.

In this case the jury works for their constituents.

lol at traitorous. But captain high pants, bug eyed schiff and polident pelosi doesn't get to control the Senate their time is up. The adults are in charge now, so if they aren't allowed to testify then no one testifies.

So society will decide?

The adults? LMFAO

No

"What difference, at this point, does it make?"

 

[tvolsfan]

In theory, not in practice. At best, they’re working for a portion of their constituents.
