If I were a Senator for the impeachment trial

I would call the Q "Shaman", dressed in his Viking garb, and just turn the questioning over to the Retrumplicans so they could defend him.

Same with the Dipshit in the Speakers Office.

It would give me great pleasure to see Retrumplicans squirm as they present their defense of these guys

I think he's taken a few too many hits of Trump's Magic Mushroom.

The Republicans would just say, “I have no questions for this witness.” Then, the witness would be dismissed, and nothing would have been accomplished. If those two witnesses were called, Democrats would have to question them in order for their appearance to have any impact.
