    "Key House Democrats pressing the Senate to hear from new witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial are leaving the door open to another possibility: calling those witnesses themselves if Senate Republicans do not."

    "If McConnell has his way and prevents new witnesses from appearing, they may find a stage in the House, where a number of Democrats are already advocating for their testimony if they’re silenced by the Senate."

    "This week, Parnas offered vivid new details of that campaign, providing Democrats with a trove of documents, phone records, emails and text-messages related to his communications with Giuliani, a disreputable Ukrainian prosecutor, an unstable Republican landscaper. Much of the information Parnas provided came in the form of concrete communications records and physical documents."

    "Aside from Parnas and Bolton, Democrats are also clamoring to hear testimony from a number of other administration officials, many of whom had declined to appear before the lower chamber last year after the White House blocked their participation."

    Could be really interesting if the Intelligence Committee took up the hearings with Nunes being the minority leader

    Yeah?? I'm all for it, but you'd better read the fine print on the Bolton statement from 2 weeks ago

    SNIP
    “I have concluded that, if the Senate issues a subpoena for my testimony, I am prepared to testify,”
    ENDSNIP

    See the loophole Bolton create there??

    Lev on the other hand??... he's completely a free agent since Trump doesn't know the gentleman...

    All gets underway Tuesday.... BTW, why are they starting at 1PM?? Is that going to be a regular thing??

    They can pursue a subpoena on Bolton thru the Courts just as they are the others, and to think that Trump doesn't know Parnas is naive, not only are there umpteen pictures of the two but also video of Parnas with his hand around Trump at Marlago conversing with others

    Because Jerry Springer is on from noon to 1pm and that’s the target demographics for this impeachment charade. It makes it very easy to replace the chanting of “Jerry Jerry Jerry...” to “Nancy Nancy Nancy...”

    I believe that is what Pelosi and the Democrats are hoping, that it becomes the Mitch show, she ain't after a verdict in the Senate, that was a given months ago, rather she is viewing public opinion as the jury, and they see a case for witnesses, all in Mitch's court

    Not according to the media. It’s been the Dem sh*t show since the results of the ‘16 election.
    Here’s proof.

    Ultimately, I believe America has had enough. I think this entire fiasco is something the majority of our Country has grown very weary of. We will see at the polls in 2020. I am hoping America will accept the results...

    The public could give 2 craps about any witnesses. All we care about is that our retirement gained 80% in the last 3 years. I just pray that after Trump wins re-election the Dems will impeach him again so the Markets can continue it’s record setting pace.

    The House has their chance. You only get one bite of the apple.

    The House never had the chance to call appropriate witnesses nor acquire relevant documents, they've had McGhan in the courts since last April

    Well, that is not entirely true, close to seventy percent (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...p-should-let-aides-testify-senate/2675644001/) think witnesses should be heard from

    And as far as the economy, Americans don't necessarily see Trump as the cause of the economy rather the economy happening in spite of Trump, the know he caught a wave, it has been a bull market since 2010

    Didn’t we have 2 damn wasted weeks of witness testimony during the House Judiciary Hearings? It was 10 days of nothing more than partisan witnesses, hearsay and biased opinions. We also had 3 law professors giving their interpretation of Constitutional law. To be honest I don’t need anyone telling me the color of the sky is baby blue or light blue when I say the color is sky blue.

    So you want the non-partisan, first person, unbiased witnesses now? So do I...

    Everybody is going to tell essentially the same story... will you believe them more??

    Doubt it...

    They could go to court and force witnesses to appear. They just chose not to.

    He just told you the direct opposite and he's right..

    And when you get down to it, why should witnesses have to be forced to appear?

    I suppose the house could hold hearings and call more witnesses.

    But that would have no effect on the upper chamber.

    It's not the senate's fault that Pelosi ejaculated prematurely.

    Negative. The house was not willing to wait, they rushed everything. They alone had the ability to show patience, they were unable to follow through. So now here we are. I believe Trump will be re-elected in 2020.

    I have two opinions on this:

    1. The democrats know they have a loser and they're trying to save face.

    2. The democrats know they have a loser and they're going to campaign by saying the GOP senate is corrupt and guilty of a cover up. Then they'll tout out that famous phrase of theirs which applies to everyone except them; No One Is Above The Law. You never hear that phrase mentioned when the subject is democrats or their pets.

    You say that with all the pomp and ostentatiousness of the old E. F. Hutton commercials.
