There is no evidence and no witnesses of any crimes committed.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
Ya gotta ask yer self. Why didn’t the House do it’s fucking job?
The D's have done their job, they had two hearings and presented witnesses and documents necessary and sufficient to hold the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, to answer. They presented all the evidence necessary to impeach The President.
The R's failed to provide any evidence probative to the issues subsequently sent to the Senate. Not one member of the R Caucus presented any witnesses to provide exculpatory evidence, and their cry that they could not bring forth witnesses or documents which were of benefit to the Defendant, those closest to him in the White House, refused the subpoena under the direction of The President.
Time will tell if the evidence presented is so incriminating that even Sen. Graham will fold and vote to convict the Defendant; consider, Senators are Pols and most pols sole concern is what will the voters do, if they don't vote how the majority of their constituents believe.
Most Americans want justice to prevail, notwithstanding the, "lock her up" set.
You must be fucking joking.
