Once this hits the Senate floor, do you want witnesses called? Trump has said he wants a full trial and wants to call people like Schiff and the Bidens. Graham has said he wants it to be done quickly, no witnesses. This make me wonder if he has something that he doesn't want uncovered.
I think the Democrats have been saying they wanted him impeached for 3 years. Hell, even Pelosi said it's been going on for 22 months. 17 on the Dems have already voted for impeachment before the phone call that Schiff used to really start this bullshit. I say give the Trump team their time to call witnesses and expose as much shit as possible. I'm not sure I am buying Graham's excuse of ending it quickly to stop what the country is going through and to start the healing. Does the Trump base want to see Schiff grilled by Trumps lawyers, I think they do. I really believe people want to see Hunter Biden on TV squirming and answering questions.
Trump has a massive ego that constantly gets him in trouble. The Senate Republicans are trying to save him from himself.

You're probably right. I just want to see someone held responsible for something at some point. Maybe that will happen with Durham.
blown trial. McConnell and Graham are unilaterally relieving Democrats of this downside. They should at least keep it a possibility while the Dems are considering their votes.
Anyway, yes a full trial is necessary. Tampa, you and I both know that if Dems do not see a downside in impeaching Trump, then they will continue to act like this going forward and impeach him again. They have to be made to suffer harm for this endless war against him to stop. That is why it is so frustrating that no Deep State official like McCabe has been arrested yet. There seems to be no consequence to their lies and misconduct. Their lies and misconduct have to be exposed, they have to be made to feel real pain and suffering, so it finally stops.
There needs to be blood on the floor.
would come out at a trial. This would infer that while Trump wants a chance to defend himself and reveal the lies of the Dems, various important senators with votes do not.
The swamp is deep, and Trump’s job of cleaning it is daunting.

And Trump could say the impeachment in the House was given the attention it deserved. Nothing. Now let’s get back to work. The R’s dragging this out may make some happy to embarrass the D’s but the people would see it as self serving. Just say this is BS vote it down and go before the people and say this is not what our voters want. End of story. The entire episode was a waste of time and money.

McConnell said last night he would consult with the WH council. I really hope that happens and they call as many witnesses as they can. We already know the outcome. A few Dems will not for Impeachment to save their seat. The Senate will not remove Trump but make it bloody to show what went on the past 3 years was nothing but a political hit and run.
