If Democrats get bolton, Trump will get Biden.
If Democrats get witnesses, the defense should bring the house. Ciaramella, Schiff, Biden, etc.

Yep

I doubt they will come to an agreement. McConnell will display a willingness to call witnesses but it will need to include Biden’s, Schiff, and whistleblower.

The Dems won’t agree to that and then Mitch will get the votes needed and call it a day.

“At a meeting of all Republican senators on Tuesday after the White House lawyers wrapped their opening arguments, GOP leaders told their conference they don’t have the votes to prevent witnesses from being called at the impeachment trial of President Trump, people familiar with the matter said.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the vote total wasn’t where it needed to be on blocking witnesses or documents, these people said. He had a card with "yes," "no," and "maybes" marked on it, apparently a whip count, but he did not show it to senators. “

If they cave, with all the support they are getting from us Republicans around the country, I will be so disappointed!

Why is it, the Dims will stick together NO MATTER WHAT, but the R's won't even when they are RIGHT!!

Drives me crazy

You give them way too much credit



The hardliners like Hawley, Blackburn, Cruz and Rand will make the moderates justify such a position by offering up amendments for Biden, Whistleblower, Schiff and son and not even McConnell can protect them from that.

The moderates should've gone with McConnell's position of no witnesses and just flush this farce down the toilet. So much easier and painless that way.

At this point it’s time to primary all of them out if they won’t reveal the vote.

So there will be litigation now over Executive Privilege which means that Trump will still be under impeachment in November.

Quinnipiac poll showed 75% of Americans want witnesses.

So, is this is what was meant by DOA in the Senate? I am confused.

Those same Republicans are going to block Hunter Biden and any other Republican called witness. Put these assholes on record and lets see who is with us and who is against us.

The Bolton thing is a trap.

Of course there are going to be witnesses. There were always going to be witnesses.
