Assuming that McConnell is successful in preventing any witnesses or documents from
being subpoenaed and forbids any evidence being used that was not presented in the House, what do the House managers have to lose by being "less than nice" in their presentation?
To be clear, I am not talking about calling Trump or anyone else five kinds of sonsabitches and I am not proposing the screaming hyperbole of the Collins/Jordan variety. But, everyone with a pulse knows Trump is a liar so why not refer to him as one whenever it seems relevant?
"Hypocrite" is another term that could be used accurately and repeatedly in this "proceeding". Dershowitz, Starr, Graham and McConnell---and several other Republicans--- argued vociferously in the Clinton impeachment that it was not necessary to charge an indictable crime in order to impeach a POTUS and "OF COURSE" there have to be witnesses if you want to discover the facts.
And, as indicated above, if McConnell gets his way---which is likely--- this will not be a "trial" by any stretch of the imagination. We should not use that word at all. We should instead refer to "this proceeding" or "this political theater".
Some will think this inappropriate, but I think it fits: "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light".
