So headlines like Biggs, Cruz, implicated in Capitol insurrection witnesses testify won't affect anything? Or Boebert and MGT gave Intel on whereabouts of leaders during siege witnesses testify! How can the GOP spin that? They can't and either way their support plummets with independent voters
You also can’t make a criminal case without evidence. Sworn testimony in front of the Senate is evidence.

Like I said before, if the Dems aren’t serious then this thread should be closed, unless it’s renamed the sassy political zingers thread.

Biden administration asks for more time to consider Trump tax-returns case

federal judge on Wednesday granted the Biden administration's request for another month to decide how to proceed in a long-running court fight over former President Donald Trump’s tax returns.


....
While many Democrats are eager to finally lay hands on the long-hidden returns, it’s unclear whether Biden wants to turn them over. That could look like he is using the IRS to go after his predecessor, undercutting his efforts to cast himself as someone who can unify the country. It would also likely prove a distraction to Biden’s legislative agenda
Sounds more like a big decision he has to make. Earlier you made is sound like he was doing it to cover something up.

OK, so for those of you who wants there to be witnesses. Answers these questions for me.

Do you think having witnesses will change anyone's mind? Also, who would that be?



Most of the people that will watch or pay attention to the impeachment trial are going to be political junkies and hardcore partisans (who already have their minds made up either way). Most Republican senators won't give a sh!t either way if there are witnesses or not because 95% of them are going to vote NO regardless.
Let's all be clear. It isn't about changing anyone's mind. It about going where the evidence takes you and uncovering how deep this thing goes.

I think everyone wants that.

I personally think witnesses would help with this, but I clearly have no access to the evidence. Maybe the Dems have a smaller hand to play than we think they do. Or maybe witnesses aren't needed to get the point they need to make across. The is also the issue of timelines and subpoena fights etc.

Either way, the condemnation and the defense from condemnation is all moot until we see how this plays out.

Can we wait and see how this plays out? That way neither side ends up looking like fools.

Not that he was covering it up but he doesn't really want to turn them over. Which is why I posted the quoted article.

This isn’t a criminal trial though and once the republicans said they had no interest in holding Trump accountable due to it being unconstitutional or supposedly because it makes people angry what do you want ? You think month long trials will accomplish what your saying? The best thing to do is be like ok then you agree that he shouldn’t serve in office and lose his perks then right ? So explain then if dems use the 14 th amendment to bar him why your voting against it ?
I get what your saying in principle but if the other side has zero interest in principle you still need to do the right thing and let them all answer for why someone they said caused a insurrection doesn’t deserve this trial

This trial isn't for Republicans. It's for independent voters who both sides will need in 2022 &2024. If you aren't going to use all the tools necessary why bother? As @mastermind has said. Yes, it's not a criminal trial but you still can be charged with perjury so calling witnesses is a positive for Democrats no matter what. The the Senate trying all impeachments doesn't stop just because a POTUS left office. Mind you McConnell didn't want to hold a trial while Trump was in office after saying he committed impeachable offenses. Then voted that a post presidency trial was unconstitutional. If you say holding Trump to account is important by God use everything to nail him and his associates to the wall and to hell with the GOP who supported his lies and actions. If no one is hard on these officials it will happen again and it will eventually succeed. Then what? Mass rioting? Civil war?


Just look at this:

Several of the House impeachment managers wanted firsthand testimony to help prove their case that Trump incited the Jan. 6 riot, our sources tell us. But Senate Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER, Speaker NANCY PELOSI and Biden administration officials have been eager for the process to move quickly, we’re told.

It’s been a source of frustration for some Democrats privately. Trump, these people have noticed, is already on the rebound politically, at least among Republicans. The GOP base has rallied to his defense, and many Republican lawmakers who witnessed the terror of the Capitol invasion are back in Trump’s corner.

That’s why there had been talk among the managers about calling individuals who could change minds — if not the minds of 17 GOP senators needed to convict, then perhaps a slice of the GOP electorate that still supports Trump. Some of the ideas floated: having Capitol Police officers tell their stories about fighting the mob, or inviting Republican officials in Georgia who were pressured by Trump to overturn the state’s election tally.

This is going to be a waste of time without witnesses. Just political theater.



Here's why it would be smart:

In your opinion, should we shut the impeachment down right now?

The dems can’t win in here breh. :mjlol: I don’t think I ever see this energy for the GQP with all the shady shyt they’ve done for years.
That's because we all know what the GOP is. The Dems have so much potential but then fukk it all up. Ie: look at the stimulus. Have a chance to treat the GOP like they do the Dems and they :hubie:. Then they :gucci::ohhh::why::dahell: when they lose reelection. The Republican party should be dead from what happened on 1/6. Yet Hawley, Cruz, etc are still in office pulling the same BS. Whats the point of laws if everyone is not held accountable for their actions?
