We the American people demand that the House stop this bullshit hoax and stop wasting our time and money. We’re on to you Stalinistic schemes.

Sen. Tester wants more evidence on Trump impeachment. Jesus why not just of listened to witnesses. They were under oath, first hand knowledge regarding Trump and Giuliani were up to. Shit Giuliani is still in Ukraine. Go talk to him! Another idiot!

Common Sense

Dems you had your chance. You blew it in the house with too much haste. No do overs!

Moscow Mitch McConnell will never allow testimony or documents he's part of the problem and cover-up, you're forever saying that the Democrats did things behind closed doors, damn Moscow you've been doing that for the last 15 years behind closed doors and more sticking it to 🇺🇸.

Huge difference between evidence and testimony.

TESTIFY!!!!

TRUMP LET THEM TESTIFY!!!! NOW!!!!

He's a Montana man

Agree

Oh they're demanding it all right. Family/friends R's/Independents who voted with me/Dems in the midterms & their family/friends who joined them in Nov are tired of the lies by Trump & R's. They're holding R's accountable at the ballot box 432 voters between family/friends👏

Our demands are scoffed at by this administration and trumps scared little boys. Short of a coup, how are we supposed to demand Mulvaney, Bolton and others to testify? None of them have any balls.

Sen Tester we demanded Adam Schiff and the whistle blower be put under oath and testify in the impeachment hearing that didn’t happen, so get ready to be disappointed ☹️

Right after Biden testifies.

We demanded to have our witness during Schiff trial but he refused. So why the F are Democrats crying about having witnesses when they used all their witnesses.

We r done with the sham. I want to see witness who signed phony fisa warrants to spy on a campaign

StuffedFantod Is someone starting a petition and getting Americans’ signatures to demand for witnesses to come forward? Where do people fill the petition?

This is over MSNBC! Trump is re-elected Boom! Go peddle your lies for another 4 years!

Nonsense.....If the witnesses were so important why did the Democrats not seek court orders and rullings to compel them. Some comments don't tally with certain levels of education and positions. They rushed everything because it's not about facts or truth

2Buddy What happened to your iron clad House of Representative impeachment? Isn’t that enough? Your party claimed impeachment needed to be urgent and the evidence was overwhelming!!! Your party is shameless. Something mentally wrong with your party. I’m going to pry for your party.

The Dems went by the book. I wish they hadnt. They gave the Republicans a chance to bring their witnesses they didn't. The Republicans were there the entire time. Now they're breaking the rules once again.

The only place americans have a voice is in the voting booth.

Concur.

If the dems didn't already have the evidence they shouldn't have voted to impeach.

Then why didn’t Schiff pursue it in the courts?

Only democratic thing to do. A jury trial with witnesses to get to more truth.

you had your chance, witch hunt this isn't Schiff kangaroo

Wow you never asked anyone what the house should’ve done differently or if they should of called these witnesses. That would be because of your inherent and thick biased reporting, if you didn’t know. Cause Americans do. EnemyOfThePeople

American people need to demand impeachment to Pelosi Schiff Nadler. Abuse of power obstruction true justice violated Constitutional rights of Presidency. Violated U.S. Constitution try destroy are great Democracy

Ruth_elsesser Dem Senators need to step up their demand for a real trial.

He’s opening his fat mouth bc they’ve found out he’s taking illegal foreign campaign contributions and he’s going down along with many others

I want all witnesses to testify under oath in a real trial

Democrats desperately searching for a crime. It’s just every time they think they have something it just comes back to bite them

All the evidence is supposed to be collected in the House. That is to be done in order to gather evidence to draft the Articles of Impeachment. The Senate side is the trial where the evidence is presented to the jurors. You would think a NEWS organization would know how it works.

The Dems in the house said they had enough evidence to impeach!! What changed

Another Democrat failure is coming !

IMPOTUS

If they needed their testimony, why didn’t they subpoena these people and let the courts sort out the issues of privilege? We know why — Shoddy Schiff was in charge.

Is advocating for the Democratic party ALL that does? Are there ANY stories not related to promoting dem positions? Seems like it would be embarrassing.

BOOM 💥 THE TRUTH is POWERFUL 💥👏👏👏👏👏👏

We are demanding nobody is listening

If the Democrats wanted those witnesses, they should have went to the courts, This is a complete joke Pelosi said she had “Uncontested” proof of crimes She clearly doesn’t have shit Sham Impeachment

Otherwise the people will conclude that the Senate Republicans in power are participating in the cover up, given the evidence.

Why didn't the house pursue and wait for a decision from the judiciary?

In 'All the King's Men,' Long asks uncle/LA Gov if there's a place for ethics in politics? Sure, use whatever you can get your hands on.. - Sen Tester: 'Need to demand' witnesses, eg Mulvaney & Bolton testify: 'We need all evidence we can lay our hands on'

This is definitely a job for WE, the majority people of the United States of America.

Pelosi proceeded to impeach POTUS saying Democrats have compelling and overwhelming evidence. Why are Democrats are now saying they want to collect more evidence?

Haha, you need more evidence because what you have is not even grounds to support impeachment, let alone removal. Why aren’t you calling for the crooked Bidens, Schiff, the ghost whistleblower, Nadler and Pelosi to testify? I detect desperation.

realDonaldTrump if you phone call was so “perfect” wouldnt you want your buddies to tell the world?!...unless you have something to hide. wewantwitnesses

Trump & McConnell want the trial to be the finale of the cover-up.

U.dont have any power left.mitch said no way.senate hold all the power.congress inpeachment is over.u should have had a fair trial and maybe mitch would.say yes.what a mistake nancy and schiff made to cheat.

Pray for America.

This impeachment trial is the modern day 'Ishtar' A bomb that nobody cares about

Adam Schiff

I agree! I want to hear from witnesses. I guess I will have to tweet Mitch McConnell daily and often. WitnessesMustTestify

Wrong guano breath.

That could’ve and should’ve been done by the house. Too late now so shut your pie hole.

Just why the f___k do Democrats think these witnesses will not lie and cover for Trump. What is going to stop them? I see a huge crash and burn in the Democrats future.

So the house didn't let the minority in the house call who they wanted but the minority in the Senate is demanding they get who and what they want..........🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WalkAwayFromDemocrats

This man reminds me of my daddy. The best the mid- west has to offer.

still witch hunting must be a crime in here somewhere

Wonder why the democrats didn’t call Amorosa to testify? She claims she got the 411 on trump!

The opportunity to get additional witnesses belongs to the House. The rushed hearings violated due process & getting adequate information. The articles are a joke

Get the Tax Returns too

We demand you end this shanagin. Stop wasting our money

That was supposed to happen in the house but trump is/was an imminent threat, at least until today. And then again in January. House should have subpoenaed and went to court. They dropped the ball and know it.

But Trump wants a sham trial so he can claim he won!

It ain't no fun once the rabbit got the gun.🤨

Adam schiff needs to go under oath as well

Too bad Mr Tester, if you congressional democrats wouldn't have prematurely ejaculated and finished early, and used the third branch of government you may have gotten your wishes. TFS

The house impeached the president with what they said was so much evidence. Now that they impeached him they need more investigation by the senate. it was a partisan yes vote and a bi-partisan no vote. I feel so bad for the dems since they did it with a heavy heart.

House made their case I thought...... Hmmm.... Not such a good case i guess lmao

Nope. We want the Bidens, Schiff, Pelosi, Nadler, and the whistleblower to testify.

They should have thought about THAT before they voted eh?

All of these must be sworn in

Maybe we want to sit back & watch the FAIL RememberDems ConvenientPerspective SpoonFed PhraseOfTheWeak SmearCampaign DemMSMCollusion PropagandaShiftChanges SpinDoctors CoverUpTheCoverUp TheRealCollusion BREAKING: DNC Caught Colluding w\\MSM

If you didn't have the evidence, you shouldn't have voted to impeach. Do the democrats ever think their stupid talking points through?

Absolutely right senator, keep fighting sir!

We did... 71 %

Tell tester we the people demand the stop the sham

YES WE DO!!!!!!!!!

🙄ok?.. So what have they been doing the last 3yrs?

C'mon... put a fork in your resistance impeachment. It's done. The only people who don't know it is the rogue left in congress still beating that dead horse.

Sen. Hirono: 'I'm all ears' for President's defense at trialSenator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) speaks to Hallie Jackson about the impending Senate trial after the House impeached President Trump. While she says she's fairly convinced of his guilt, she will 'wait for the President to mount his defense' before passing final judgement. We're waiting for the crime Fortunately for us his defense is The Constitution and it's protections for the accused. I know that's tough to swallow for a Party that shreds the Constitution regularly but there it is. Are you sure its ears or ass?

Sen. Dick Durbin: There may be 'dissension' among McConnell's ranksSen. Chuck Schumer: 'Leader McConnell claimed the impeachment was motivated by partisan rage—this from the man who said proudly, I am not impartial, I have no intention to be impartial at all in the trial of Pres. Trump. What hypocrisy!” Crying Chuck Chuck Schumer is a hypothetical fraud Except everything his collegaues in the House did ignored precedence and previous House rules and didn’t produce a single piece of evidence nor let the public see. So McConnell’s job is to kill it. No crime, no conviction. Simple. Unlike when you acquitted Bill Clinton.
