Watch Deadline WH with Nicole Wallace now. Senate GOP planning no witness for either side "trial"

Of course, they aren't interested in fulfilling their constitutional duty. Seems like McConnell and his fellow GOP minions are planning on just having opening statements in the trial and then immediately proceeding to dismiss the charges without hearing any evidence!! That would mean the trial is likely to be over by the end of the 1st or 2nd week of January at the latest.

No surprise, of course.

and simply delay sending it to the Senate while they wait for subpoenas to be enforced. Go into the election with Impeach hanging over Trump.

ds.

I don't see any reason to rush this through at all. That way they can put the blame on Trump that it's taking so long "We are trying to get it done faster, but you all are obstructing us. Just come talk to us under oath and it will be over with."

I scrambled to press the mute button as soon Blackburn started babbling and was thinking, "Damn, it's Nicolle o'clock and this fool is on my tv. Then a few minutes later, I looked up and there was Nicolle. Yay! Click!

This is bullshit. I hope Pelosi has a strategy. Maybe just threaten to leak Everygoddamthing might bring the Repubs around.

This is a Banana Republic.

if you turn this into a farce in January we will impeach again on a single charge in February-and we will repeat this every month right until election day. Have many presidents been impeached multiple times???
