Senate Impeachment trial continues. Vote to call new witnesses fails

[QueensburyRules]

So you admit this new evidence is damming to Trump's innocence ?

How does more evidence hurt an innocent man ?

Its like you walk out of a shop and security stops you and says I saw you put something in your pocket and you despite being completely innocent refuse to empty your pockets.

- -U embarrassed by U empty pockets?

Trumpists seem delighted that Trump can now do what he likes up to Nov 2020 regards cheating and even if impeached again for abuse of power and obstruction will be "tried" in a Senate that will look at no witnesses or evidence that Trump illegally blocked in the House. This is a swamp the size of Alaska with an insane tweeting criminal floating at it's rotten core.

What's the Republicans in the Senates goal here ?

To find out the truth or to get Trump off ?

it is clearly obvious that Adam Schiff is lying, just like he did last time... and the time before... and the time before...

not one person heard Trump threaten to withhold aid from Ukraine

320,000,000 people heard Joe Biden threaten to withhold aid from Ukraine


1.30




should Joe Biden be investigated for corruption... ?

should Hillary Clinton be investigated for corruption... ?

for Haiti
for China
for Uranium One
for the illegal e-mail server
for the corrupt Clinton Foundation... ?

here is how I see it...

1) the three leading democrat candidates are...
a) Biden... CLEARLY corrupt
b) Sanders... a socialist
c) Warren... a communist

2) elements within the FBI, CIA, DOJ, congress, and the DNC, CLEARLY colluded in a corrupt campaign to politically destroy a presidential candidate... now they are doing it to a sitting President

they are currently under criminal investigation by the Attorney General... NOT Trump

considering those two points... don't you guys have more important things to worry about?

Nowhere have I admitted to this evidence being damning. Frankly, I don't know what the evidence is, therefore I cannot conclude either way as to it's damnation.

The second part is funny, because that is me to a "T." I never, ever stop for security when they try to check my receipt. I legally don't have to. It's called an unlawful detainer. I don't voluntarily yield my Constitutional rights to a duly appointed police officer, much less to some random citizen in a yellow vest. Just because you might want to surrender your right not to be unlawfully searched, doesn't mean I do.

So this Republican senator thought Trump was guilty and admit that it was proven, but he doesn't think what he did was thatttttt bad???? Yea, ok!

Asked Alexander if he thinks Trump solicited foreign interference in election: "I think it was inappropriate and wrong for the president to do what he did -- and I think it was proved. The question is whether you apply capital punishment to every offense. https://t.co/0SHt0zIb60

Ok you're so cool.

So lets say a cop stops you, or whoever has a constitutional right to do so.

Innocent people don't hide things.

This looks like a coverup and a get out of jail free card.

This clearly needs to be stated here.

There had never been an impeachment trial that did not have new witnesses.

First time for everything, calling new witnesses wouldn't have changed anyones mind, and more importantly the outcome. It would've been a waste of time.

I agree with most of your post besides the waste of time part. The American people wanted witnesses overwhelmingly. These senators are supposed to represent us. I don't mind that it wouldn't have changed the Republicans' minds. It's completely on them if they want to look like fools before the entire nation.

The American people weren't even tuning into the impeachment hearing, the viewership ratings were atrocious. If you asked a random person on the street hey do you think we need more witnesses they'd probably answer yes, but that doesn't mean they were at all following the trial, its like a default answer to a very generic question. The only people who look like fools are the Democrats who started something that turned into an utter failure, and there is no way to spin it any other way, especially because since then Trump has only gotten more popular, in other words the impeachment trial had the opposite effect of its intended purpose.
