First up, Adam Schiff followed by the Bidens and the whistle blower. You keep saying people are scared of witnesses. Be careful what you ask for.
Great strategy for getting elected.
That plan he released today was a real winner.

Mitch = Mr. Obstruction. He bragged about it when he was Senate Minority leader.
His stunt with the Garland nomination, followed by using nuclear option re Gorsuch and Kavanaugh plus tax legislation, has set the tone.
Under Pelosi, the House has sent over dozens of bills, -- few of which see daylight under Mitch -- beholden to Trump.
If you want to get things done, remove Trump and have the GOP start taking their oaths seriously.
Robust and real debate on the floor.

offense, even if the winning OPINION is that there was quid pro quo. Also have any payments ever been on time that were considered unpaid for anybodys' bills.
Trump has demonstrated to the President of Ukraine that if he doesn't play ball, aid and visits to the Oval as well as help with Russia can be with held. If Tony Soprano is shaking down a merchant what are the chances that the merchant goes to the cops, and then acts as a witness for the prosecution? Probably not good. If the leader of Ukraine is still in fear of what Trump could or would do to him, he is not a reliable witness.
“I think if you hear from one side, you probably ought to have a chance to hear from witnesses from the other side,” said Mr. Romney.
Though I don't know what Schiff, the Bidens or the whistle blower have to do with the charges vs Trump.
He could do that at any time. Keep in mind though that none of the above have had any impact on Trump with holding aid and a Oval Office visit until the president of Ukraine agreed to announce an investigation into Joe Biden. That's the basis of the charge against Trump, right?

They are afraid of Moscow Mitch.
I have zero faith in Republicans being American.
But I do in the American electorate and believe that if McConnell blocks witnesses there will be a Republican massacre come November. But then what do I know.
