Schiff opened his arguments before the Senate playing a video of Trump calling for more witnesses to testify. Schiff noted the sudden change in proposed rules, made moments before he spoke.McConnell said, “The president’s lawyers will finally receive a level playing field,” contrasting it with the House impeachment inquiry.
“My focus is going to be on impeachment,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent running for the Democratic nomination, told reporters. He said his supporters would keep working “to defeat the most dangerous president in American history.” Trump’s legal team doesn’t dispute Trump’s actions — that he called the Ukraine president and asked for a “favor” during a July 25 phone call. In fact, the lawyers included the rough transcript of Trump’s conversation as part of its 110-page trial brief submitted ahead of the proceedings.
Democrats in prosecuting the case against the president point in particular to a General Accountability Office report that found the White House violated federal law by stalling money to Ukraine that had been approved by Congress.
Letting any of them talk more than 5 minutes is a disaster
FuckUDJT You see what happens when we call our Senators when we call the people that are supposed to represent us. Power to the people! Call your senators and demand the removal of Donald Trump he is corrupt as the day is long. We want evidence and witnesses to prove democracy lives!
There is no way Mitch just changed his mind last minute. This was planned to show he’s supposedly “reasonable” and that the moderate Reps who need re-election help pretends to object. Mitch is always two steps ahead. He’s that clever and wicked manipulative, God help us.
three days for opening arguments. what a bunch of blow hards who love to hear themselves talk.
That’s just an extra day for Democrats to embarrass themselves
🥃Pelosi had EVERY opportunity to get ANY witness she wanted through the legal system! She chose to PUT HERSELF ABOVE THE LAW LIKE ILLEGALS + Lied to America “we must impeach this second or the world will end!” NO do overs because Pelosi chose BOOZE over witnesses🥃
We won't need that long Pat and Jay just kicked Democrats a**
Fk MoscowMitch he is not allowing witness testimony, evidence or even a real trial and he's doing this in the dead of night to HIDE the truth! It doesn't matter what party you are in. This trial sets a precedent for all future elections. Do we allow Russia to run our govt?
Yes, This is a shameful individual Mitch McConnell is trying to short change the Americans people of evidence and witnesses.
This is just taxpayer funded oppo research by Dems
I'm just a stupid scrub but it seems unwise to let the majority leader set the rules when they're invested in how this turns out. Why isn't there a third party or committee that decides these things?
Republicans comprising? Shocker. Did a gift and polish ever do that? NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!
How will the Republicans fill 24 hours of opening statements? Just say the words 'hoax' and 'sham' a few thousand times?
Gonna suck for future republicans when Moscow Mitch is gone and the president isn’t a republican.
Now do relevant witnesses and documents.
Patriots decry...
The Republican Party is being blackmailed my Russia or Trump that and bribed I don't understand why so many would sell their souls for this down right Evil person. the world we knew is dead welcome to the new world order where money and lie real get used to our Dear Leader
Unless they allow witnesses, turn over if all requested documents as well as allowing c-span televising it, it is a cover-up and a sham “trial”. McConnel and every Republican has proven themselves to corrupt traitors and scumbags.
JonLemire Still at midnight?
Mitch McConnell is Worthless ImpeachmentDay
Do not give into the socialist Thugs- History will remember you for giving into these socialist Democrats plan to run a coup.
Schiff ripped Mitch a new one.
Whining never stops. See the House Roceedimgs. Horrific
