She didn't say she was afraid...What can Hunter testify to, that can help Trump defend himself??? Seriously???Jerry Nadler said today that they had made their case.The delay accomplished what it needed to. To put a bright, hot spotlight on the Senate and make sure this wasn't just dusted under the rug. Wanna know how I know it worked? Three weeks ago, Mitch McConnell was going to spike this with an immediate acquittal. Minimal trial. No witnesses. Fast forward to this week, now you have moderate members of his own party like Lamar Alexander and Susan Collins negotiating for witnesses. Now, there's a real possibility that you might have witnesses like Bolton and Mulvaney coming to testify. Whether they come before or during arguments is irrelevant. Add to that the juicy emails and text messages from Gulliani's "associates" about the whole Ukraine debacle and now it's not as cut and dry as it was three weeks ago because moderate senators (some who are up for re-election) understand that to just dismiss this would be the kiss of death come election time.
Republicans face reckoning on impeachment witnesses
I look on this as a push. I have no illusions that Trump will be removed by conviction...but least now, Mitch can't just sweep it under the rug.
And Mazie Hirono already had her mind made up. She said it.
Hirono: Trump, McConnell Trying to 'Rig the Senate Trial' | Breitbart
“And I think we really need to bring the conversation of the debate back to the president’s action which was he shook down the president of another country for his own political purposes using $400 million of needed aid to Ukraine to get his way.”
She doesn’t need any witnesses and documents. Her mind is made up.
Why not just have a vote?
So? Didn't Mitch just say three weeks ago that he wasn't going to be an impartial juror? And I don't see anywhere in this article that states that Sen Hirono had already decided to vote to convict. Now, she may very well have made up her mind but in this article, she was just pointing out that Mitch was just trying to sweep it under the rug and rig it in favor of the president. There's supposed to be a trial in the Senate now that the House has voted to impeach. Trial involves arguments and witnesses, then a vote.
If that is so, they don't need witnesses! However, If the Democrats get to call John Bolton, then Republicans should get to call Hunter Biden.
You won't know until he's on the stand.
Why are you so afraid of H.B. testifying ?
Seems like you and Chuck Schumer are the same type of lying hypocrite.
She ASKED -- what can Hunter Biden testify to as it pertains to Trump withholding congressionally approved military aid in exchange for an announcement about a sham investigation about Hunter?? Was he on the call too?
