Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday went on the defensive to justify why his demand for the testimonies of four specific witnesses to members of the upper chamber during its impending impeachment trial of President Donald Trump is warranted, despite opposing witnesses during the impeachment of President Bill Clinton two decades ago.
A rejection by either the White House or McConnell to not hear from the witnesses, Schumer continued, would suggest their testimony may contain damning evidence as to why the hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. foreign military aid was withheld from Ukraine.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer holds a press conference on the anticipated impeachment trial of US President Donald Trump by the Senate at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., December 16."There were all the obvious reasons why they did not want a witness like Monica Lewinsky testifying in public," Schumer elaborated."It related to what the questions might be about, that the whole nation—including children—would be watching. It's a totally different situation.
schumer, A real whiner. You're meeting Mr. McConnell today. We hope Republicans treat you, senate, the same as lib/dems treated Republicans by pelosi, shifty and the meddler. Do Nothing dems, get off tv, get to work & give back taxpayers dollars given for your exorbitant income.
Yes. Absolutely different.

Tough shit. No witnesses.

Senate Minority Leader Schumer has made an offer to Senate Majority Leader McConnell on the parameters of an impeachment trial that include calling Hunter Biden, Barack Obama, Adam Schiff, James Comey, Peter Storck to testify. You frame this story like Schumer actually has any saying in the matter. Like the Republicans in the house had, Schumer doesn't get a say.

Clinton impeachment manager on Trump Senate trial: 'Key witnesses should...come forward and testify'Former Congressman Bill McCollum, R-Florida, was one the House members chosen for this task during former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment. Traitor should be impeached as soon as possible House Dems are 'claiming' they have enough info to Impeach on though. *Even though 99% of their testimonies were only hearsay, opinion and/or presumptions. They also leave out that Kurt Volker's testimony debunked Sondland's presumptive testimony claims. I wonder why during the house hearings the witnesses the Republicans wanted were never allowed by the majority under Schiff and Nadler now it shifts to the Senate and ? Is there case so weak ?

Schumer says McConnell is 'totally out of line' for coordinating with White House on Senate impeachment trialSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has blasted his Republican counterpart Mitch McConnell for his decision to coordinate with White House counsel on the looming Senate impeachment trial, saying the Kentucky Republican is 'totally out of line.' Get him I'm loving this. After the total media silence on the House hearing being 100% partisan, now they're all screaming about not getting a 'fair' trial in the Senate. They all know that this impeachment is a sham and can't stand up to scrutiny. It's not going to go well for Dems. Who cares?
