WASHINGTON—Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he has enough votes to set impeachment trial rules that don’t guarantee new witnesses would be called, rebuffing demands from Democrats.
Mr. McConnell has concluded he has at least 51 votes from within his 53-member Republican conference for opening the trial first, and then voting later on whether to issue subpoenas for witnesses and documents. Mr. McConnell has insisted that a trial take place in two parts, with opening statements first, followed by votes on...
Of course the object of not having witnesses being to protect the criminal white supresident? Innocent people LOVE witnesses.
The Senate already had the under oath testimony, prior to Clinton’s Senate Impeachment trial. ImpeachedTrump and his enablers have blocked all documents and under oath testimony, so the Senate is not playing by the same rules as the Clinton trial.
I hate how far Americans of education and value are willing to sell themselves
Not surprised at all. This fucken turtle face has always protected trump.
Well done, Mr McConnell. Be strict with the Democrats and make sure they do not drag this matter.
So the USA impeachment trial will be one without extra witnesses... what about defence witnesses?
MoscowMitch hope this will be another nail in the coffin of your reelection.
Moscow Mitch is doing Putin’s bidding keeping Trump in office
Get this shit show over with!
All about protecting a failed president and those who support his broken vision of the world order
Word of the day: Rebuffing. Adj - to make shinier through a process of applied friction via manual or automated means.
Screw him, don't present the articles. Instead file a second inquiry for obstruction of justice , 10 counts. And 15500 counts of being a damn lier.
Stand firm and control the process Mitch.
Why no investigation into Chuck Schumer’s relationship with Putin?
Why doesn’t he just say he has enough votes to rig the entire trial and get over with it? We all know they won’t remove him from office so why the theatrics? Get on with the work of the PEOPLE instead of playing your political favors games. SMH

What would it take to change his mind about witnesses after the trial starts? Trump has already admitted to impeachable offenses publicly. The senate will acquit, and each senator will have to live with the political consequences.
Vote McConnell out
TheDemocrats r like sad little orphaned children with no guidance. Always begging those who dislike them with sad eyes and hope as if they don't know the answer.
senateGOP, SenateDems , SpeakerPelosi , RepAdamSchiff, RepSwalwell Let’s call senatemajldr ’s bluff, shall we? If McConnell has the votes, insist he holds a public, televised session of the Senate & have a roll-call vote. Let us hear how our elected officials vote.
Ms. Pelosi really believed the Senate Republicans would give in to her demands to control their impeachment process? Not going to happen, if she had waited she could have called these witnesses in the House hearings. She rushed it through and it's too late.
The democrats had a scam impeachment. McConnell needs to end it.
Your A Freaking Disgrace, I cant wait until November;KY; fixing to take all your Power away. You been abusing the ppl of this State for a long time. It’s Time you go. You think your above the law. Hope Rocky Runs. Even if he don’t. I’ll vote Amy; Send you packing
So it's a coverup, not a trial.
Told you can't trust those Rep like Collins and others, they will lies to you everytime, constantly Kavanugh and Obama Care all over again. SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer
MoscowMitch will run a sham trial that lets trump off the hook. In the minds of voters Trump will continue to be suspect because McConnell did not do his constitutional duty. Republicans will pay in November.
lol
Complicit GOP
Ok then the right answer is for the House to open up a new article of impeachment inquiry so witnesses can be called to discuss and provide more info and look at more misdeeds.. they want to play hardball so should the House and there’s nothing the Senate can do about it
Matching the level of bipartisanship in the House. Sad! But fair!
That's it!! If the President and Senate don't have to follow laws, then none of us do! anarchy
Surely the WSJ is outraged with Mitch's proposed Soviet show trial. Right? :::crickets:::
House should subpoena Bolton now and take the power out of Mitch's hands.
Where are U.S patriot Republican lawmakers, now that the Constitution needs them more than ever? They just obstruct justice to avoid the truth.
Let the masturbation begin!
Go for it Mitch. Please further damage your credibility and legacy and party. anyonebuttrump2020
That’s just what I would expect a corrupt traitor to do.
set impeachment trial rules that don’t guarantee new witnesses will be called MoscowMitch likes to HIDE STUFF HIDE STUFF HIDE STUFF like a geezy JeffreyEpstein All CLOAKED, and CLEVER $bac $jpm $gs
The Democrats have done all they can to stop trump's reign, but it finally seems they must submit to his rule. A great day for america
Say Moscow Mitch - kan·ga·roo court - an unofficial court held by a group of people in order to try someone regarded, especially without good evidence, as guilty of a crime or misdemeanor.
