I think he changed the vote so they could call multiple witnesses as suggested by Trump’s (excellent) lawyers.

I’m not sure the motion limited it to one.

Graham voted yes to put the Dims in the hot seat.

His position is if you want to waste tax payer dollars and focus on nothing more than impeachment then let’s do this shite. Drag it on for weeks and who comes out looking bad = Dims.

Won’t change the outcome of the trial one bit. The Dims don’t have the votes to convict.

They’re calling Herrera-Buetler who has first hand knowledge of McCarthy’s phone call to Trump I think

I thought this is all about that argument between McCarthy and Trump. The Dems want to subpoena Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.)

quote:

Impeachment manager Jamie Raskin had a much narrower scope of inquiry in mind, asking for permission to subpoena Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.), who alleged Trump told McCarthy the Capitol rioters were “more upset about the election” that he was in a call during the attack.



They may also try to subpoena Trump as a witness.

quote:

Raskin also suggested subpoenaing Trump after his attorneys failed to answer basic questions about his knowledge of the attack, telling van der Veen: "There's only one person the president's counsel needs to interview, and that's their own client."

He doesn’t have to testify since he’s the defendant. It would be stupidity to do so. He may get disposed but they’ll limit everything and use national security

Nailed it. I might sit on the other side of the political aisle but i agree. It’s not about fact seeking, it’s theatre.

Call in all the capital police escorting the antifa around and ask them why they did that.

The Newsmax guy just explained that this might be a procedural maneuver because there is a rule that you have to have voted on the winning side in order to be able to ask for a revote.

These drama queens really do love being the center of attention rather than trying to to actual real legislative work , aka THEIR JOB.

Regardless of how any of us feel about Trump, his attorneys are never going to agree to him testifying. They know when he’s upset he goes straight to the bluster and can’t help himself. He’d be his own worst enemy. They’ll never allow it. Won’t happen.

This is what should be so concerning whether you are a Republican or Democrat. You have these elected officials that know what they are doing is nothing more than smoke and mirrors to keep them within the spotlight.

I mean when is the last time that Senators and House of Representative got this much attention from the average voter?

This has been going for ca year now between the first impeachment attempt, Covid, the election and now 2nd impeachment attempt.

The next thing they will try and ride to get them to seem relevant is the next Covid relief package.

It’s a good thing. This will reaffirm how political the Demos have taken this and Trump will come out victorious in the end.

I can't wait for the "when I saw it on the news" line from Trump. Going to be fun watching Dems try to pretend it's wrong this time (even thought it's likely true) but was totally cool when Obama's team did it (and was absolutely false).
