On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) threw cold water on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) request to subpoena crucial witnesses for the Senate’s impeachment trial against President Donald Trump.
Hypocritical Turtle!
“McConnell Shoots Down Schumer…”
In the middle of Fifth Avenue?
Does this mean we are not going to hear from Hunter Biden and the guy who runs Cosmic Pizza??
Welp.
This doesn’t quite answer the question of what kind of trial McConnell will agree to, but it does tell us it won’t be a full trial.
As Josh Marshall said a few days ago: It’s the Senate Republicans who are on trial here, not Trump.
And there we are.
#ditchMoscowMitch has tipped his hand for all to see.
Now, what will the MSM do with this information? Taking bets.
Fine. Pelosi cancels the floor vote, House Judiciary summons Bolton, et al, and forces the Supremes to rule on what should be a slam dunk. I can wait - in the meantime President Queeg grow more panicky and finally snaps.
Ok so we are not getting a real trial, we need a real filibuster. Every Democrat needs to speak for at least an hour. Rump is guilty Moscow Mitch is part of the coverup. Times 47.
That privilege will only be granted to the GOP. Any Dem will be cut short or cut out ‘in the interest of time’.
#ditchMoscowMitch has shown us who he is with respect to this hearing. Believe him.
EDIT: “Putin shoots down…”
Talk about a kangaroo court.
Why are Democrats so fearful of their own shadow? Take a stand, please. Get something done, anything.
So what McConnell is saying is that the FIRST HAND accounts of what these people said by other witnesses under oath goes unrefuted by who the Ds want to call to testify, then the default is that what those witnesses said under oath is the TRUTH. Mulvaney also admitted publicly that there was a quid pro quo on the military aid. That public statement against interest is also damning.
The public wants these people to testify. McConnell is fighting that which makes Trump and McConnell look even more guilty than before.
Moscow Mitch representing his Russian constituents well!
Not much
Believe Moscow should be careful
I live in East TN and a local newspaper had front page story that Republicans are not doing their jobs by not impeaching. This town went something like 85 percent for tRUmp in 2016. Something to think about Mitch.
I could go for that.
The Public be damned. They don’t account for anything unless they are in lock-step with the King.
Not exactly the surprise of the century. Their narrative is going to be that failure to see out the court cases to force testimony left the evidence on record too thin for conviction.
