Do you think independents would be more moved by insistence on relevant witnesses at trial? Or by a hasty acquittal?
ALL relevant witnesses?

McConnell offered the 1999 rules already. What was good enough fer Bill ain't good enough fer Trump?

Also, if you wanted more witnesses, you coulda, you know, called them in the house that you actually control.
How many witnesses were called that didn’t appear?

Bolton is waiting on a court decision on which branch deserves his loyalty, right?

And Rudy got subpoenaed but he’s too busy servicing Japhy, right?

Do you really think we shouldn’t hear from those dudes?
Oh. I'm sorry.

The House couldn't have waited?








Of course it could have. It just didn't want to because its leadership has its OWN agenda.

Which, as I understand your previous posts, is to spread joy and love and to make everyone's farts smell like sugar cookies.

I think you're imagining things.

There is likely NOT a full-er transcript. There usually aren't.

No matter what Chris Hayes tells you.

I’m not sure how much the House can or should be blamed for Rudy ignoring subpoenas.

At least Bolton took the question to court. (What’s the holdup there?)

And I know I’ve made my share of fart jokes, but I don’t recall saying a thing about sugar cookies. You may be attempting to put words in my mouth.

And of course the house has its own agenda. The potus handed them a prima facie case of misconduct, and they felt a duty to investigate, but go ahead and fault them for not just sitting around and waiting about it.

If I may ask again, do you really think we shouldn’t hear from those dudes?

Sure.

Now go back in time and tell the veryexcellentsupergenius Adam Schiff to slow his roll for a sec until he can hear from them.

I'll wait here as you try to blame McConnell because Schiff wanted to get his impeachment done riGHt nOw!

And?

You're shitting little rings around yourself because the Senate Majority Leader won't do what the Speaker of the House wants him to, even though she could have done exactly what she wants him to do, literally, any day before Wednesday.


bUt FacTS!

The Constitution tells the Senate that it has the SOLE power to have whatever trial it wants.

What you want is for the Senate to allow the House to dictate to it how it should operate its trial.

thaT's unConStiTutionAL!

what i would like to see is for the senate majority and minority leaders to behave in the way those who held their seats did during the last impeachment

all indications are that this isn’t happening, but rather mcconnell is doing his best lapdog impression

Senate rules are Senate rules.

He's the MINority Leader. He doesn't matter.

Just like McCarthy didn't matter in the House.

Bullshit.

Indeed, the Senate democrats very carefully coordinated with Clinton's private counsel, namely David Kendall.

What a crock of shit.

The executive branch obstructs justice on a scale never seen before in our nation's history with the active assistance of the DOJ, but it's Adam Schiff's fault that republicans are too afraid of Trump and too tribal to put our county over their own political ambitions?

Brilliant

Oh, and even tho it has taken 8 months, so far, to try to compel former white house lawyer Don McGahn to respond to a subpoena, which has yet to be appealed to the SCOTUS, we're supposed to blame Schiff for not waiting to impeach Trump until he's finished the process of compelling Bolton to testify?

Sounds reasonable.
Not to mention, that Trump is/was actively extorting the help of a foreign power with US taxpayer's money to help himself in our next election less than a year from now, but it's Schiff's fault that he won't wait until after the election Trump is trying to rig, to try to stop him? Where TF are our "law and order" republicans when a president is trying to rig our next election? I guess they're too tired after all they did to help Trump obstruct the investigation into how Russia interfered in our last election.

How patriotic of you republicans.

Give me a break.
