Wrong.
Speaker Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and Jerry Nadler expedited the impeachment timeline and made the conscious decision to do so without judicial resolutions on the witnesses they may have wanted to call.
They say their evidence is overwhelming. Nadler said in his presser, "this is an open and shut case". Now they get to try their case, with the evidence they have brought forward in the House. The burden is on the accuser. Not the accused.
No. The burden is on the Senate to have a fair and serious trial with evidence and witnesses. The House proved there was and is smoke. It's up to the Senate to find and put out the fire.
Democrats want another 2 month media circus, like the silly little show put on in the House. They know there is no evidence that Trump broke any laws, and they know how this will end. They want their air-time to influence a presidential election-essentially more free advertising. The Senate wants to run this professionally, with appropriate seriousness, and as a trial, not a media show. For that-the Dems are throwing a temper tantrum.
David Hale, Tim Morrison, and Kurt Volker were witnesses requested by the GOP. Here is a link to Nunes's November 9, 2019 letter expressly requesting their testimony. Maybe you thought they were Democrat witnesses because they all backed up the claims that now form the foundation of Trump's impeachment but they were, in fact, GOP witnesses.
they were picked by the democrats.. they had the complete power of who would be chosen.
those poor Senate Democrats are going to be so disappointed that the heresay testimony spewed during the House investigation won't be allowed during the "trial." Heresay evidence is not allowed in any court in the land, or in Judge Judy's court either.
That leaves Sondland with direct testimony and he already testified Trump said "no quid pro quo" Who's left? The Senate is not going to start any investigations, that's absurd, this is a trial, the investigations are over, the Senate has the charges and testimony, they'll determine a verdict on what they have in front of them.
Want Bolton, Mulvaney and crew to testify, the House can start new investigations, issue subpeonas, and work through the court system to compel them to testify, it ain't gonna happen now.
Wake up! Many of you make no sense at all. Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress are the charges. Good luck!
Sorry to disappoint. In a Grand Jury, hearsay evidence is admissible. Judge Judy, a bastion of Constitutional law.
Mitch McConnell said that he would be following the Clinton model for the Trump trial. Nothing else could be further from the truth. McConnell will be limiting the testimony of prosecution and defense within a 48 hour period. A motion for dismissal could come at any time.
1. Testimony by those who have testified in the impeachment hearings may never be heard.
2. Testimony by new witnesses may never be heard.
3. Documents may never be presented.
This 48 hour trial will go down in history as more evidence of the erosion of our Republic.
No. The burden is on the Senate to have a fair and serious trial with evidence and witnesses. The House proved there was and is smoke. It's up to the Senate to find and out out the fire.
