I think I made a good argument as to why the Presiding Officer is tasked with keeping it from being a circus within the bounds of senate rules and the constitution powers vested in the Judicial Branch.Yes. They will make it work bc they have to. If he can’t get no witnesses it’s what can I get the risky republicans to agree to that gives them cover. They won’t ask for much. Hell they will get to claim they stood up to trump and Mitch and made demands. It’s a circus trial that ends the way we all know it will.
Something else may surprise you. The senators can vote not to impeach and agree that he committed what he’s accused of. Clinton admitted to lying and was given a pass.I think I made a good argument as to why the Presiding Officer is tasked with keeping it from being a circus within the bounds of senate rules and the constitution powers vested in the Judicial Branch.
Yes, I'm just here for the show. It won't end with the end of the impeachment trial. There will still be evidence coming to light. Most people see the Star investigation as Republican overreach and the impeachment as a Republican mistake. People will also see this as a Republican mistake.Something else may surprise you.

We will have to disagree on that. A president sexually harassing an intern, and lying about it under oath in a sexual harassment trial, is far worse then what trump had been impeached for.Yes, I'm just here for the show.

Yes but math is against them applauding this hoax. There's 53 Republican Senators. 45 Democratic Senators and 2 independents. You might as well count one of those independents as a Democrat because it's Bernie. Pence gets the tiebreaker vote.Something else may surprise you.

So that was the bar set back then and if that precedence held, Trump too would be lying under oath about sexually harassing someone. Seems like the Republicans keep moving the bar.We will have to disagree on that.
