There is no reason for Schiff to testify. That's not how this works.
If the republicans believe he has run afoul in his investigation, they need to open an inquiry unsder separate cover. This is Trump's solo in the center ring.
It works ANYWAY the Senate wants it to work...just like this farce in the House made this nonsense up. The liberal "double standard" is so ingrained with you people that it's really astounding to see.

Yes there is. The accused gets to confront their accuser. That's the way it works. I'm surprised that you'd even say something such as that.
So far Trump has had 0 Due Process. This happens in the Senate trial.
It works however Senate Republicans want it to work, they make the rules.
They may want to be careful what they ask for.
If you recall, they screamed about wanting public hearings - until they got them.
Then they screamed about Trump being excluded from the hearings - until he was specifically invited, in person or by proxy, and he declined.
If they want Schiff to testify, they had better be ready for what the public may get to see and hear on the evening news. Like Ben Franklin siad, "Marry in haste, repent at leisure."
House Democrats are going to destroy Joe Biden in the process because Trump will force him to take the stand in the Senate. Because this is afterall what it's really about. The crimes of Biden & his son. It will be the show of the century.
Let Biden testify. The prosecution will end up looking like desperate fools. They have nothing on Biden because he did not do anything illegal. If Trump is not guilty because it is hearsay or because there was no QPQ or because it is not impeachable, then he does not need to present anything, just send it to the jury. Putting Biden up there and then he exonerates himself of the accusations will be a huge backfire on Trump and the Republicans. They will all look guilty as hell.
John Roberts isn't going to allow himself to preside over a Republican circus so . . no, it won't.
As they are the jury, Senators are supposed be silent as evidence and testimony is introduced.
