Clear what? There is zero evidence of Trump doing anything.

You just said this wasn’t a criminal proceeding, now you’re hiding behind rights granted in criminal proceedings.

If your wife accuses you of having an affair and you’re not having an affair, do you call witnesses?

No additional witness will change the facts. It only prolongs the Democrats obstruction.

Does not matter if POTUS even voiced a desire to close advisors, because the facts show the claimed desire was not executed.

That's not rights granted in a criminal proceedings, that's basic logic.

You make a claim, it's up to you to prove that claim, not the other person to prove your claim isn't right.

Because it would appear to legitimize extra-Constitutional Articles submitted by the House

Because these articles of impeachment are a sham.

we would want Hunter Biden called to the stand right?


Yes in an investigation into Burisma separate from the sham going on right now.

They called how many of their own witnesses in the house? Was it something like 10-12? Not one single person admitted that a crime was committed.

Not

Bob Barr already eviscerated the supposed Bolton claims. Witnesses will only help POTUS IMO.

Do you think that innocent until proven guilty is an arbitrary procedure or that it is rooted in some deeper concept?
