"We have the votes," McConnell said, for the Senate to follow the precedent of the Clinton impeachment trial in which the question of whether to call witnesses was voted on after arguments from the prosecution and the defense.
"51 senators determine what we do," McConnell said, after leaving the weekly luncheon where Republicans discuss strategy and count votes. Republicans have a 53-47 majority and sources said the White House supports McConnell's plan. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has insisted that it made no sense to have senators hear arguments before all the witness and documentary evidence had been presented.
"There will be votes on the four witnesses we have asked for," Schumer said."We Democrats have the ability to get votes in an impeachment trial." Schumer said there was a"pretty decent chance" that he could still persuade some Republicans to vote with Democrats.
LETS ROLL in vote n MOVE to CLOSE this OUT
I am a Dem and want to know why Pelosi won't follow the precedent of the Clinton impeachment trial? This is becoming just as ridiculously long as the Mueller investigation. Doesn't Pelosi & the rest of the Dems understand we want this over with now.
These Machiavellian Republicans, the ones that are working on creating a ' Oilgarchy' government within the White house along with there Nefarious Leader, wanna vote to have a Kangaroo court without calling witnesses? What court does this? It's wrong, believe that!
They are going straight to hell. The Republican Party betrayed everyone even their own people.
As predicted, Mittens Romney caved. Rhetoric to action ratio astoundingly high.
At the end of this, realDonaldTrump IS STILL YOUR POTUS
senatemajldr has the votes because SenateGOP are cowards.
shove 'Em where the sun don't shine senatemajldr mitchthebitch
Sorry losers.
It passed the House with no evidence, so why not?
Pelosi should delay sending articles until after Feb 4. DO NOT give corrupt Trump benefit of telling 100 million Americans he was cleared in sham trial. 2020 election may rest in balance. More articles may be added,want to subpoena Bolton since Moscow Mitch won't call witnesses
