Excuses....excuses....excuses....
The House didn’t do its job. Period.
does that make Trump any less guilty?
Lamar Alexander R, says the evidence was OVERWHELMING and proved Trump was guilty as charged.... only Lamar's excuse is that he didn't want him removed and he'd rather let voters decide in November....
That is Lamar Alexander's opinion and his problem for not acting on it.
Just because he said, does not make it true.
It's not a reflection on Trump that Alexander doesn't have any balls.
And to OVERWHELMING....then why do you stupid asses keep saying you need witnesses.
Do you know what OVERWHELMING means ?
It took balls for any Republican Senator to be impartial and vote for and with the truth, that they all knew was the OVERWHELMING truth....
No Republican Senator had balls....to vote with the truth and the Law, THEY GAVE THOSE BALLS AWAY BEFORE THE TRIAL BEGAN and sealed the deal when they voted for no witnesses and no evidence to be presented in the trial...
the fear of The Wrath of Trump was too frightening for them....they were shakin' in their boots, ALL ball less....
except Romney,
but to you all, he's a useless piece of shit, RINO
I have REPEATEDLY ask you to list for us in any previous IMPEACHMENT the witnesses the Senate called that were NOT originally called by and interviewed by the HOUSE. I must assume your failure to do so means there have been NONE EVER. I will repeat for you, because you obviously are to stupid to have grasp it yet, even though I have posted it several times now,The HOUSE Investigates, they call witnesses and they gather evidence. They are tasked with that part of the Impeachment procedures. The Senate is task with hearing from the House managers all the charges , the House presents all the testimony and evidence they have gathered that support those charges. The ONLY time the Senate has EVER called a witness was when they wanted clarification from some witness the House had already interviewed. The Senate then votes on the individual charges.
ok, is this it?

there have only been 3 presidential impeachment trials in 220 years RGS, there are no SET rules, all 3 were completely different from each other.
But the whole world knows what a fair and 'justice served' TRIAL is in criminal and civil court, and that's what people envision as a basis of an impeachment trial with changes like a jury of 100 senators instead of 12, a guilty verdict with 67, instead of 12.... those kind of changes.
Clinton's impeachment had a special prosecutor who had done the investigating...got his subpoenas answered and complied to, got all witness sworn depositions in front of a grand jury behind closed doors etc...
Trump's did not have a special prosecutor in to the Ukraine scandal so the house had to do the investigating and depositions themselves and Trump fought all subpoenas of documents and witnesses....
if Barr had appointed a prosecutor as asked, then Pres Trump could not have obstructed and stonewalled in the manner that he did with the house subpoenas....
And in Andrew Johnson's impeachment, there was aTrial with TONS OF WITNESSES....41 WITNESSES
On March 2, 1868, the House approved the first nine articles of impeachment with the final two articles approved the following day. Amidst tremendous public attention and press coverage, the case moved to the Senate.
Quickly, the Senate debated and adopted an updated set of 25 impeachment rules, setting the stage for the first presidential impeachment trial in U.S. history. With Chief Justice Salmon Chase presiding, the trial began on March 5, 1868. On the advice of counsel, the president did not appear at the trial, although he did agree to a number of press interviews during the trial process.
***
The trial of the president, including testimony of 25 prosecution and 16 defense witnesses, became a public spectacle as well as a constitutional crisis. It gave the grand orators of the Senate a chance to dazzle the public with their speaking skills, and the trial was conducted mostly in open session before a packed gallery. During final deliberations on the 11 articles of impeachment, however, the Senate cleared the gallery and closed the doors.
U.S. Senate: The Impeachment of Andrew Johnson (1868) President of the United States

So I disagree with your contention that the Senate only hears from witnesses that the House already interviewed....
