In this country, we do not hold a trial by refusing to call first hand witnesses to the crime.

In this country, we don't hold a trail with clearly biased people who care nothing about evidence....

Sadly, it is very rare that a corrupt prosecutor ever gets the proper comeuppance, but it does happen.
There were witnesses that testified at that hearing.

Then why are you still whining about Pelosi not delivering the articles of impeachment to the "clearly unbiased " McConnell?

Because I'm talking about the house....


Or maybe you forgot the "clearly unbiased" "impeach the MF" girl...


Or the "clearly unbiased" "impeach 45" girl....


Of course you agree with them, which in turn also make you "clearly unbiased."

The only reason not to want to call witnesses before a Senate trial is because you are rooting for a particular outcome and have no interest in learning the truth and having the Senate reach an informed decision.

If there's no crime, as is the case in this situation, the case would be dismissed without any witnesses called and the corrupt prosecutor would be punished.

That should be the case in this instance.

Legal Expert Slams McConnell: "In This Country, We Have Real Trials with Witnesses"
Since McConnell is head of the body which formulates law, he also is a legal expert.
MAGA.

Or because there's no reason to waste any more time on malicious and frivolous nonsense like this. Democrats got their partisan sham in the House but it's time for the adults to put this to an end.

According to the polls, at least half of the country sees this as something other than "frivolous nonsense" and would like the truth to come out rather than be suppressed. Funny how certain parties who used to declare their love of governmental transparency suddenly have an interest in opacity when it suits their outcome-based political preferences.
