This could very well speed up the process, I don't see him getting away with obstruction. He has not at this point claimed executive privilege so I don't see how he can continue to block congress.

The House did issue subpoenas which have been languishing in the courts since last April. Still, trump refuses to provide the evidence that he claims would clear him straightaway. Well, where is it? What is trump hiding? What are the Republicans complicit in covering up?

So, my question is, why 17 pages of discussion over something that almost nobody thinks is going to happen?

I'm genuinely curious to know why. I'm not disparaging anyone, I just would like to know what motivates you all, because the motivation is so strong. Every thread containing the word "impeachment" goes wild, even though almost nobody sees removal happening.
People still want the senate to do the right thing.

They might not expect it, but they still desire it. It is a normal reaction.

Truth hurts, I know, but it's reality. Get used to it.
What's to debate? You went to the store and ran into ONE person who agreed with you. Hardly worthy of debate. And you apparently read one post and decided that was all I had to offer. Talk about a fly by!

Agreed and the right thing to do would be to dismiss this partisan BS the House pushed through simply because they do not like the President

Unless you had the same stance about what the House did, then your position is hypocritical.

If the House did the right thing, we wouldn't be here today.

Yes because there is a dearth of fact witnesses willing to testify. Why is that?

So far the Democrat's "truth" has been entirely opinion, not actual facts.
HOGWASH!!! Just because they didn't have access to the witnesses you think they needed doesn't make the other 16 witnesses they did call liars. I know..... HEARSAY. Which it WASN'T in most cases IS allowed under the rules of impeachment and criminal due process also. Ask your buddies in the Senate to do their jobs!

At the heart of Congress' probe into the president's actions is his claim that former Vice President and 2020 Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden strong-armed the Ukrainian government to fire its top prosecutor in order to thwart an investigation into a company tied to his son, Hunter Biden.

But sources ranging from former Obama administration officials to an anti-corruption advocate in Ukraine say the official, Viktor Shokin, was ousted for the opposite reason Trump and his allies claim.

It wasn't because Shokin was investigating a natural gas company tied to Biden's son; it was because Shokin wasn't pursuing corruption among the country's politicians, according to a Ukrainian official and four former American officials who specialized in Ukraine and Europe.

I know it doesn't go along with Trump's version though.
Obviously our trump sycophants can't or won't lift a finger to find out the truth.

The lead lawyer for Trump (forget his name) brought up a very pertinent point: What is the purpose for a completely PARTISAN attempt to remove a sitting president when there is an election just 9 months away? Was this an "umbrella insurance" policy in case the Russian hoax failed?


There is NO chance that Trump will be removed and the 2016 election overturned, so it is no more than a tax-payer funded smear campaign against the duly elected president. The Dems can't win with their horrific candidates - either socialists who would bankrupt the country or a doddering old man guilty of the very corruption they are accusing Trump of - and thus they've sunk to an unbelievably new low. They are counting on the "idiocy of the American voter" (to quote the architect of Obamacare who got that travesty through) to fall for this shameful charade.

This is an inane. It's like asking if a diplomat shot his wife in your presence if they will be prosecuted. Useless.

What motivates you to propagate your "distortions"? It certainly isn't truth!
