"We haven't ruled out witnesses," McConnell said in an interview with
"Fox & Friends." "We've said, 'Let's handle this case just like we
did with President Clinton.' Fair is fair."
In that 1999 trial, he
said, senators went through opening arguments, had a written question
period and then decided what witnesses to call based on that.
Editor: Understand that neither the House Dems nor Nancy Pelosi have any leverage in the up and coming Senate trial. And it makes no difference which party controls the Senate. There simply are not enough GOP votes in the Senate to convict Trump of anything but doing a great job.
Also know this. the end of the search and destroy mission has now arrived. The Senate trial is not be an extension of the past three years. Rather, the Senate trial is the end of the matter. Its only duty is to pass judgment on the articles for impeachment, to judge their veracity and to either acquit or convict on that basis. The search for more evidence is over. If the Dems want more testimony or more "evidence," they should have extended their impeachment hearings. They chose not to and now they must live with the consequences . . . . . . . . . period.
