AriMelber No they don’t. It’s called executive privilege. So are the House dems now conceding they had Nothing? Russia, Russia,Russia. Obstruction,Obstruction,ObstructionNow Ukraine. Ukraine, Ukraine. Corrupt Partisan Scam
AriMelber You know how SEPERATION of powers work. If the witnesses were that important why did the House sent half-baked Articles to Senate. The constitution states that they are to seek court orders to compel witnesses but they did not do it. U can't ask the Senate to do House job
AriMelber REPUBLICANS ARE HIDING TRUMP'S GUILT AND THEY THINK WE DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE ALIGNED WITH RUSSIAN/PUTIN IN THEIR SUPPORT & ENABLING OF TRUMP, THE MOST CORRUPT POTUS EVER!!!
AriMelber Trumps impeached get over it!!!!

AriMelber The House is not the Senate and vice-versa. The testifying should have been done in the House.
AriMelber MSDNC is a Russian propaganda machine.
AriMelber Arrest all that don't show , or is that up to barr
AriMelber The proverbial shit is going to hit the fan!
AriMelber The investigation is the House’s responsibility, the Senate has no obligation to finish the House’s sloppy investigation.
AriMelber bring in more deep state foreign nationals, like the NSC Ukraine team of Ivanovich, Vindman and Hill, lets see more of those liar traitors!
AriMelber Enforce the subpoenas
AriMelber They are traitors if they don't.
AriMelber Mick Mulvaney always looks like an organized crime ring’s accountant.
AriMelber We have the majority of a racist Anglo-Saxon Senate controlled by neo-Nazi Klu Klux Klan type party, telling a majority of the American people you don't deserve to hear the truth.🐘💰🙊🙉🙈! You must believe what we tell you the truth is lies hate bigotry denial and💰🐘.
AriMelber Obviously the House hasn’t made the case for impeachment. No worries the dems will lose the House majority in 2020.
AriMelber
AriMelber
AriMelber What are you smokin? The grand jury phase is over, no more so-called witnesses are allowed
AriMelber Come one, be hones with your readers. It's the house job to do the investigation. If they have to sue over Executive privilege, then they have to wait for an outcome. Simply saying the Senate should do the job that House should have done is a dishonest deflection.
AriMelber The question is: who is not corrupted? They are all of them corrupted, left and right, up and down, you name it. Money, economy, and politicians are all alike. There are no differences among dogs whether red or blue color. They are dogs loving money and fame. What else could be?
AriMelber U mean the 0 fact witnesses? Lol.
AriMelber Republicans = Hypocrits.
AriMelber Something wrong with this picture, Republicans. cc senatemajldr
AriMelber The Supreme Court Recognizes Executive Privilege. The Legislative Branch(Congress) has the Right to subpoena The Executive Branch has the right to use Executive Privilege(President) The Remedy is the Judicial Branch(Courts) Democrats CHOSE not to Go to Court
AriMelber With this lawless administration, what are the chances, I already see evidence where their court packing is working for them!
AriMelber This is a lie, The senate republicans wants these witnesses. Where are you people coming up with this?
AriMelber You didn't want the facts brought out in the House, now you complain? You don't get to dictate to the Senate.
AriMelber They may as well, because they’re not going to win this. And, why do they want to go down with trump
AriMelber We are awaiting your slide into blaming Pelosi and the dems for the hold up. Anything to get those ratings including selling out America.
AriMelber Yes, don't appear or allow witnesses to defend you, Mr. Trump, in House Impeachment Inquiry, and don't allow any witnesses to testify for the truth in the Senate! Just stick your head in the sand when not issuing the same old denials!
AriMelber Republicans are not making any sense at this time! They just say anything to muddy the process!
AriMelber So kids, there are 3 co-equal branches of our government. When a dispute arises of two, the third steps in to resolve it. The House chose to skip this process in courts & did a rushed, shoddy job on impeachment. It's not the Senate's job to fix the House's BS. Sorry.
AriMelber In the beginning Senator Lindsey Graham insisted that 'the whistleblower must testify in Congress!' When Truth started to emanate, the Republican Senators now say witnesses will not testify! Anyone surprised that Trump has changed the GOP leadership to band of liars?
AriMelber Democrats had their trial. It was a joke. Now you live with it.
AriMelber What innocent person, being accused of a serious crime, fights to have no witnesses, if they can't say you did something wrong, after you've already stated you didn't do anything wrong. It only makes sense, if you know you're guilty!
AriMelber Republicans call the shots on who will testify
AriMelber Doesn't wanting Joe and Hunter Biden to testify make the HouseJudiciary Dems point that trumpelstiltskin did the crime he's impeached for? But that what republican say he didn't do, he did because Joe and Hunter Biden?
AriMelber Love the idea when we try to interpret and debate the framers thought process from 200 years ago. You kidding me?
AriMelber It over, accept it.
AriMelber GOP We're looking for a few good honest truthful Congressional Americans who aren't beholden to the Mercers, Koch, or foreign influence. How about it, Republicans? Give up the Trump deathpact.
AriMelber Testify Baby Mulvaney,or you a Followers or a Leaders
AriMelber Oh please, it's been proven they are all hear say ppl. Get over it already.
AriMelber Soldiers die, go through tremendous hardship & horror so being exhausted from Impeachment is nonsense when it comes to our Constitution & Democracy, remember the soldiers pass & present, remember Freedom isn't Free! Mulvaney, Bolton, Pompeo, Trump etc. obligated to testify 2 USA
AriMelber Fk the Liberal Democrats 🤣
AriMelber
AriMelber So if I do criminal stuff as a juror I am a criminal?
AriMelber Republicans complained about the lack of fact witnesses because; 1. Republicans were not allowed to bring in their own witnesses. 2. The only facts were the transcript, hearsay, and presumptions.
AriMelber What could they possibly say to exonerate him? He had a perfect call with zelenski? Has anyone ever had a perfect call with anyone?
AriMelber Counting on Republicans to do their 'constitutional duty' if it runs contrary to the Presidents wishes is suck a joke it barely seems worthy of discussion ... better off just assuming they wont
AriMelber GOP knows full well why the key fact witnesses didn't testify TRUMP blocked them from testifying and to wait it out in court which IS Trump's MO keep them tied up in the courts til the other side gives up WAS NOT AN OPTION he was clearly OBSTRUCTING justice
AriMelber Yes they complained the dems did nothing so now the shoe is on the other foot. The senate should do exactly what the dems did.THis BS will be over in an hour
AriMelber The GOP at its finest.
AriMelber Well yeah, BoneSpur told witnesses not to talk to Congress, so the House Republicans have no one to blame but the narcissist in the WH who they are selling their soul to protect!
AriMelber Yeah. We need the so called whistleblower, schiff, nadler, or maybe we could have secret meetings in the basement and not allow the other party to attend. Then if they wanna see anything, they have to be accompanied by one of our staffers. Sounds fair to me.. just saying
AriMelber This is just the Dems and media running interference to cover for Bidens corruption
AriMelber This is excellent! POTUS Can we get a witness?
AriMelber Well it's up to the courts to adjudicate but it was such a rush to impeach him because he was such an imminent threat to our democracy. Now the narrative has mutated into a blatant half cocked power play that really screws with the previous narrative.
AriMelber I dont think thats true,they are pushing to go forward exactly so they can have the chance to interview witnesses etc...
AriMelber Malarkey! Show us where in Constitution! If Dems only have ‘wafer thin’ case to present, that’s their fault/problem. The Senate trial, controlled by GOP, is not an investigative process for extended Trumphunt!
AriMelber What exactly is SC Chief Justice Roberts role in all this? Could he eject or somehow disqualify members who break or defy their oath and obligations from the proceedings?
AriMelber
AriMelber Dems were supposed to make their case BEFORE they impeached him. If you didn't have the evidence, you shouldn't have voted to impeach.
AriMelber Unfortunately they have to overcome absolute immunity, executive privilege, Trumps NDA and witness intimidation in order to testify
AriMelber They have to testify............ Very True but they can also invoke privilege... You guys should stop making shit up, honesty.
AriMelber GOP Defense of Trump! 👇🏾👇🏾 WTFacts?
AriMelber The Senate does not have an obligation to call witnesses in order to supplement the House investigation or for any other reason.
AriMelber Like obeying the law matters to them.
AriMelber Democrats are trying to rig the Senate trial in their favor
AriMelber 🐂 💩
AriMelber In other words, Republicans in the Senate decide to use the same rules that Democrats in the House set. ...and Democrats now think those rules are unfair.
AriMelber We know the republicans weak strategy. But we the people want to see witnesses, especially Mulvaney and Bolton. Call them to the witness stand.
AriMelber Yes
AriMelber The day that the so-called liberal media finally recognizes that it's always 'heads we win, tails you lose' with Republicans and starts treating them accordingly just may be the beginning of when we can start to have nice things.
AriMelber There ARE NO 'fact witnesses.' That reality seems to be escaping you 'journalists.'
