THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT
It's crystal clear that Senators Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham are eager to sweep this Senate impeachment trial under the rug, shut it down, and allow no new evidence or witnesses. But what happens if they try to do that? Will other Republican Senators march in lockstep, and try to deal with the coming election fallout in November? Will they break ranks and join the Democrats in insisting documents and witnesses being suppressed by President Trump be revealed? Recent polling shows:
71% of Democrats, 56% of Independents and 40% of Republicans say Senate should call additional witnesses to testify.
51% say Senate should remove Trump from office.
Either way, Senate Republicans are in a tough spot. Do they cave in to public opinion and hold a fair trial? or do they cave in to Donald Trump and risk being removed from office in November?
JMHO - Too close to call right now.
Thoughts?
Most Voters Want More Impeachment Witnesses as Senate Prepares for Trial
