Schumer requests four witnesses, including Mulvaney and Bolton, in letter to McConnell about Senate impeachment trial

Yappi

Go Buckeyes
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made it clear in a letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Sunday night that he prefers a Senate impeachment trial with witness testimony and new documents, a direct rebuttal to top Republicans who have argued in recent days that a shorter trial without witnesses would spare the Senate from becoming a partisan circus.

In the letter obtained by CNN, Schumer, a New York Democrat, called for at least four witnesses to testify, including acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton, senior adviser to the acting White House chief of staff Robert Blair and Office of Management and Budget official Michael Duffey.

 
 
I mean Schiff got to run the impeachment however he wanted, so it stands to reason that Cocaine Mitch can run his part however he wants. ?‍♂️
 
Bwahahahahahaha

You'll get what you get, Chuckles. What the Constitution lists and whatever Mitch feels like permitting - just as the Nancy and bull-Schiff Show.
 
The GOP doesn't want facts or fact witnesses as Mitch and Lindsey willing to set aside their oath of office.

Presidents no longer need to answer to anything from Congress.

Did you watch the Democrats do the same as Schitt and Nads set aside their oaths to support and defend the Constitution?

Presidents don't have to answer to partisan witch hunts. The Dems should have had a crime and then investigated it vs investigate until they could create a crime.

Why have more fact witnesses in the Senate? Why wouldn’t all of the facts be fully established in the House BEFORE approving articles of impeachment and sending them over to the Senate?

…...

BTW - please list the "fact witnesses" that the "judiciary" committee called to testify on the crime and how Trump was linked to it......

Witnesses?
All they came up with in the House was Hearsay. There wasn't a single witness to a crime.

Because the Senate is the effective trial. If the facts were fully established, there would be no need for a trial.

Like the democrats did 20 years ago with Bill Clinton? Ya. Just like that

You mean Schiff blocked people who may have exonerated Trump? Who? He{ Trump among others} was free to testify just as the others who know exactly what happened but the Republicans know that proves their guilt so they run away and hide . Tough guys . Seriously you really don't see them hiding here? Trump demands his people not testify why? Because they could prove his innocence ? Explain why we won't see these people with first hand knowledge of the perfect phone call .

Because Mulvaney will have to explain why he went on national TV and said it was a quid pro quo and to get over it and Bolton will have to explain why he called it a drug deal.

What are you blubbering about ?

The Demturds had the chance to make their case in the House. Trump is presumed innocent of Impeachable Conduct unless such Articles are enumerated in the House. They don’t get to clog up the Senate too. Nor do they set the Agenda there. Articles of Impeachment are presented by the House and deliberated in the Senate as its Majority Leader sees fit.

Maybe Chuckles could appeal to the President of the Senate, the 101st Senator ?

Shouldn't the Republican be able to call their own witnesses, including the whisleblower. I thought that under American law the accused has the right to confront his accuser face to face in court.
They could but they don’t want witnesses. Too much risk. Plus, the precedent has been set. Witnesses don’t have to come if they don’t want to.
 
Whataboutism much ? and the comparison is absurd . I mean 11 year old's stop using the Whataboutism defense .
The comparison is spot on. Not at all absurd Obstruction of justice and not 1 Democratic senator voted to impeach. Clearly a precedent was set.

Not what he said.
 
It would be fun to watch Rudy G under oath explaining why he is taking money from Russian interests to conduct a personal investigation into Ukraine corruption on behalf of the President? Also why his associates had one way tickets while arrested despite having financial ties to Republican House members.

Rudy will be the guy that buries Trump (with his sheer stupidity)
 
Not what he said.
You can make up whatever you want, but you can’t deny what I saw on national TV in plain English. It’s like when Trump asked China to investigate the Biden’s. It was clear and in plain English, as well. No matter how many times you say it did not happen. It did. So did 9/11. So did Sandy Hook. And yes....the world is round.

He enumerated two reasons for withholding the aid, neither of which was a quid pro quo dealing with the Bidens.
