Fine. Just call whatever witnesses the Rs want, and leave it at that.

It isn’t obvious? The dems know Bolton won’t turn on Trump. They also know Hunter Biden could ruin them.



Why trade when Turtle can call anyone he likes?

Just stack the deck and go scorched earth. Drag everyone through the mud. Run it the same way as the House investigation. frick em.

Because he is facing a dem lapdog media and he knows that if he doesn't appear partisan and moderate then the people will never hear the end of it. They will call it a cover up no matter what but the dem bootlickers in the media will have to eat crow for doing a 180 from their coverage of Bill Clinton impeachment.

Is Schumer making the rules here?
Pretty sure that a “trade” requires two willing parties.

What about a hostage trade. The poor Republican senators are being tortured by having to listen to such mind numbing BS.

It never was on the table. It was thrown out there to cry about when it was shot down. If the Republicans want to call witnesses, they'll pass a rule, Democrats be damned, and call who they want.

First, pussyfart cryin' chuck has NO ZIP ZILCH NADA leverage to have anything "on the table" to begin with; Elections have consequences. Cryin' depends shitting chuckie is powerless.

Second, Bolton would be a HUGE disappointment for the traitor prog filth narrative.

Hunter, on the other hand, would be destroyed, and along with him, his daddy and the whole prog filth narrative.

That likely means no witnesses


I've been saying for WEEKS that the Democrats have NEVER wanted witnesses.

This whole thing is simply a charade to make it appear that they're being obstructed.

They'd rather gouge their eyeballs out than allow the Republicans to call witnesses and, let's be blunt here, their whole, "well, our witnesses matter, but yours don't" shtick was NEVER going to take with the public.

Even your most jaded arse knows that if he's ever the target of an investigation, he wants to be able to call witnesses on his behalf.

Was “witness trade” just a BS hypothetical invented by a reporter?

Because he knows Bolton won’t help their already hopeless impeachment scam. But Biden is a can of worms that when opened could crush the Democrat party.

I'm shocked a bunch of Senators don't want to set the precedent of questionable actions by the relative of a senator leading to said relative being questioned in front of Congress...might mess up the family gravy train.

Because their witnesses won’t change anything. They don’t want witnesses

It’s easier for the Dems to have no witnesses so they can bitch and cry that everything was rigged and a cover up

If witnesses get called, and nothing changes, then they have no one to blame but themselves




This

It's all about claiming the senate GOP rushed the trial, it's "unfair", make the senators in blue states vote "Aye" to table all o the Dems amendments for "fairness" so they can use it in ads, and attacks to gain the majority in the senate. Then they can impeach Trump again, and get him removed in 2021.


eta: Schumer was just leaking that there were negotiations for HB and Bolton, and then they will say McConnell rejected the offer because they are hiding something and HB did nothing wrong (therefore Joe Biden did noting wrong).
