Trump's excellent attorney's made this point......if the Senate votes to allow new witnesses......it will extend the proceedings for months...tying up the Senate during that time.
If this becomes the new standard....where the House can ship over impeachment without needing to call witnesses in the House....they will do this as a precedent......doing a quick impeachment, and then forcing the Senate to stop everything they do, to deal with witnesses the House should have called during the impeachment......
This, all by itself, is a reason above politics to not call new witnesses........
