'
Democrats are crying for witnesses because it's something that normally isn't done during the Senate trial.'
Senate has held 15 impeachment trials
The Senate has held just two prior impeachment trials against presidents — Bill Clinton in 1999 and Andrew Johnson in 1868. Both included witnesses.
The Senate heard testimony from
41 witnesses in the Johnson proceeding, and three for Clinton, including Monica Lewinsky. In the Clinton case, House managers obtained depositions from the witnesses and excerpts of that testimony were shown to the Senate, the
Washington Post reported.
But those aren’t the only impeachments the Senate has heard. The U.S. Senate
website lists 19 people prior to Trump who were impeached by the House, including 14 judges, a senator, a Supreme Court justice and the secretary of war.
Cases against three of the judges were halted before a trial when the judges resigned, and the case against Sen. William Blount in 1799 — the first impeachment in U.S. history — stopped before trial when the Senate determined it didn’t have such jurisdiction over one of its own.
That leaves 13 impeachment trials against other federal officials dating back to 1804. Eight of those yielded a guilty verdict, and five a not-guilty finding.
But all of them involved witnesses, said
Noah Bookbinder, executive director of the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Yes, every other Senate impeachment has included witnesses
'They could have gotten REAL witnesses during the House impeachment......but there really aren't any. Instead they got a bunch of diplomats and legal experts to give their opinions, not testify to any evidence of wrongdoing.'
they had real witness' lenny. all testifying under oath. & a FIRST PERSON witness, Lt Colonel Vindman, was one of 11 people who was tasked with listening in on that 'perfect' phone call.
'Any witnesses that offered exculpatory evidence was silenced during their secret SCIFF hearings.'
fake news, leonard, fake news. the witness' were disposed during classified hearings in the SCIFF, that the (R)s on the specific committees WHO WERE THERE, were able to be heard during the open public hearings ie volker & morrison. they did a bang up job for the (D)s 'cause - - - donny done fucked up & they pretty much said so.
