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?)

Mitch would not have published this proposed resolution, if he did not have the votes to pass it tomorrow. He has doubtless been negotiating with Collins, Romney, et al for weeks, and this is the result.

It is not “gracious.”. It is the compromise that was necessary to get those folks on board.

Trump supporters wanted te ability to present a motion to dismiss. My guess is that they horse-traded to get it by allowing a vote on presentation of witnesses.

Maybe Romney was informed that the extended Family that had ties to Ukrainian money kickbacks...would be called to testify.

No doubt - He better get over his case of TDS in a hurry if he wants to win re-election
