After reading his resolution, it's clear Senator McConnell is hell-bent on making it much more difficult to get witnesses and documents


So maybe I’m thinking about this wrong, but if the House is supposed to be the first to impeach then pass onto the senate, how can they add more witnesses and info?

Why didn’t the House use this info originally? How is that even legal? What’s to say the house would have voted the same way with this “new” content?

The exact info that was voted on in the House is what should be used

You are spot on, Turtle even having a vote on witnesses and subpoenaed docs is gracious. It looks like (not quite sure yet) That barring any surprises Turtle has the votes to essentially dismiss with a yay or nay immediate vote after they hear from the Democrats lawyers and Trump's lawyers. This is another reason CNN/Schumer/The media/DNC are fuming.

Sounds like Turtle told the Romney's to hear them all out and barring no surprises he has the votes to dismiss. (Maybe Romney saw his poll numbers?)
