Good, I hope Crack head Biden is the very first Witness to expose the Biden and Obama corruption .Next I would love to see Maxine Waters explain to the American people why she called for impeachment the very month TRUMP was sworn in, this would expose that this is simply a political stunt.Hearing from the whistleblower about his 3rd hand knowledge of the call plus his heavy partisan leanings and relationship with Schiff to expose his lies will be fun as well. Just like the Kavanaugh trial Democrats are trying to pile on the crap and see what sticks.Democrats will look more foolish than ever when this is concluded, I'm looking forward to the show. PREDICTION-Trump wins again!

McConnell Says GOP Doesn’t Have Votes to Block Impeachment Witnesses

 

Republican leaders said they don’t currently have enough votes to block witnesses in President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, people familiar with the matter said, after his legal team concluded its efforts to counter Democrats’ charges that the president abused power and obstructed Congress.

On the third and final day of presentations by the Trump legal team, lawyers tried to cast doubts on the importance and credibility of allegations by former national security adviser John Bolton about the president’s motives for freezing aid to Ukraine. Republicans had hoped to wrap up the trial with an acquittal of the president by this week, but Democrats have said Mr. Bolton should appear under oath to offer a firsthand account of the president’s motivations for freezing aid to Ukraine—a matter at the heart of the impeachment case.

At a meeting of all Republican senators late Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said the vote total wasn’t where it needed to be on blocking witnesses or documents, the people familiar with the matter said. He had a card with “yes,” “no,” and “maybes” marked on it, apparently a whip count, but he didn’t show it to senators.

Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado, Martha McSally of Arizona and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who face competitive races in the fall, addressed their colleagues in the meeting, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Gardner said a longer trial would lead to more Democratic attacks, according to a spokesman, and Mr. Tillis called impeachment a sham. Ms. McSally’s office said she doesn’t comment on what happens in private meetings.

No-Experience Biden!! Lol, that's funny, because no rich people have ever gotten their kids jobs they had no experience in. Ever, right??

And how about Trump himself - not only did he have no experience as politician, pretty obvious since he sucks at it, he got his rich and privileged kids jobs THEY had no experience in. He even gave his no-experience son in law the keys to most of his policy making! 

And you wonder why I think Trump lovers are fucking idiots....

Not gonna happen.

Call Biden. Call him all you want. The Dems have only said he has nothing to do with this, which I disagree with since it was the investigation into HIM that started all this shit.

A 1-for-1 swap ain't happening. They can have Bolton but the Republicans can call as many as they want just like they ran the House proceedings. I also saw Chucky doesn't want a subpoena of the book's contents, only Bolton on the stand.

2nd, it didn't make anyone look stupid except moronic Trump lovers like you who continue to deny what the Mueller Report actually said

[Bimpy 23]

Alan Dershowitz essentially said last night that it doesn't matter if more witnesses are called because what the President is accused of is not even remotely considered to be an impeachable offense according to history.

Graham Predicts 51 GOP Sens. Will Vote for Testimony from Bidens: Hunter Turned Ukraine into ‘ATM Machine’

 

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), while talking to reporters on the sidelines of the Senate impeachment trial, predicted that a majority of Republican senators would likely vote in favor of testimony from former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and the “whistleblower.”

Graham also said Republicans would be interested in hearing from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) official who allegedly worked with Ukraine to interfere in the 2016 election on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

Now that Trump’s defense team is finished making its argument to exonerate the U.S. president, Senators will vote on whether they want to hear from additional witnesses. Both Democrats and Republicans will be able to call on witnesses.

Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Graham declared on Tuesday:

I’ll make a prediction; there will be 51 Republican votes to call Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, the whistleblower, and the DNC staffer at the very minimum.

…

You have to be willfully blind and say that Democratic misconduct doesn’t matter to you not to believe that the [U.S.] president had a good reason to ask the Ukraine to look into the Biden affair… as much as I like Joe Biden, he needs to answer questions of why he allowed his son to continue to receive millions of dollars from [allegedly corrupt Ukrainian company] Burisma when he should’ve known it was a conflict of interest.

Democrats have dismissed allegations of wrongdoing by the DNC and the Bidens as conspiracies. They have taken the Bidens’ denial that they did nothing wrong at face value.

Graham credited Trump’s defense team with laying out a “damning” case against the Bidens’ involvement in Ukraine during the Senate trial on Monday.

He noted that there is a “tsunami of evidence” that Hunter Biden serving on the board of directors for Burisma while his father was in charge of U.S. policy towards Ukraine was “inappropriate.”

Despite concerns raised by officials from inside and outside the Obama administration, as well as Democrat-allied newspapers, that Burisma was corrupt and Hunter working there could be perceived as a conflict of interest for his father, the former vice president’s son made millions working for the company between 2014 and 2016.

Graham told reporters:

There’s not a scintilla of evidence that the Bidens connection to the Ukraine is inappropriate, there’s a tsunami of evidence. So the House managers told the senate this is baseless, it’s been debunked. And I think the defense team yesterday made a damning indictment of what Hunter Biden and Joe Biden allowed to happen and is not in America’s interest to let this ever happen again in the Ukraine where Hunter Biden basically turned it into an ATM machine.

If they end up calling on witnesses, Republicans will explore whether the activities of the Bidens in Ukraine amount to corruption and conflict of interest, Graham stressed.

“We’ll explore that and whether or not there’s any credibility to the idea that the DNC may have been working with the Ukraine [to interfere in the 2016 election on behalf of Hillary Clinton],” he continued.

Democrats have been mainly pushing to get testimony from Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton and White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.

New revelations allegedly made in a book by Bolton, expected to be released in March, have pressured some Republicans to indicate they may join Democrats in voting for additional witnesses and evidence. Democrats only need four Republicans to join them to make their wish for more witnesses come true.

Citing excerpts from Bolton’s book, the New York Times claims that the former high-ranking Trump official wrote that the U.S. president withheld security aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate corruption allegations against the Bidens.

Trump’s defense team and officials from inside and outside the government indicate that the American president’s concerns may have merit. Democrats argue that Trump was trying to benefit politically from a Ukraine investigation into White House hopeful Joe Biden and his son.

A “whistleblower” complaint accusing Trump of engaging in a quid pro quo in which he leveraged U.S. aid to push Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and possible U.S. election interference in 2016 triggered the impeachment. The “whistleblower” claimed Trump engaged in the quid pro quo during a July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump and Zelensky have denied the allegations.

Noob? You haven’t been around that long either there stretch. 

[Bimpy 23]

A few weeks ago President Trump said how he should have said he did NOT want to build a wall on the southern border.

Because anything President Trump is against, democrats are for and vice versa.

The Republican party has done a very good job of conveying the message that they don't want more witnesses and want to end this impeachment debacle asap.

Rush Limbaugh is saying the republicans should end it, have no witnesses - that was the House's job to do and they didn't do it.

Is this just bait?  A trap set for democrats to walk into?    

Does President Trump really WANT witnesses?

I think he does.
