Probability approaching zero.

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

Today, from Roy Blunt (r):

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
House Democrats can’t bring a half-baked case to the Senate and expect us to make something of it. These are two of the weakest articles of impeachment you could possibly have.
[….]
10:52 AM · Jan 30, 2020

There was much hilarity in the comments:

So why don’t you allow witnesses to debunk their case? What should we not hear from the national security advisor Bolton under oath?

Then that just means you’re willing to sell your soul for a very low price, Rubles Roy.

82% of the public demand witnesses. We won’t be quiet about it.

I am your constituent, and I want witnesses. In fact, 75% of Americans want witnesses. You know who doesn’t? Trump. Innocent people want eye witnesses to clear their name. The guilty want them gagged.

Witnesses Roy. Your constituents are demanding witnesses! Why are you ignoring your constituents?

You have to wave a fistful of $100 bills to get Roy’s attention.

It’s really pretty simple, Roy. You, Josh, and Donnie think its okay for the POTUS to have a foreign country (widely seen as corrupt) to interfere in US elections and to investigate American citizens. Hope that Helps. We’ll remember you in 2022. [….]

I saw that you got a shout out from Trump yesterday. Good for you. And all you had to do was lick his testicles.

There’s not enough bleach in the world.

Good Ol’ Cash n’ Carry Blunt, the perfect lackey for Trump and Moscow Mitch. He can’t carry an honest tune but he warbles like a canary to make his masters happy. Blunt is bad for Missouri, bad for the nation.

Of course! Deny them access to the relevant information/testimony then cite lack of relevant information/testimony as justification for a glaringly obvious, partisan conclusion.

It’s not a trial if there aren’t witnesses

You corrupt, covering up sycophant. Those who cover up crimes are criminals too. I am a constituent and I will do everything in my power to see you voted out.

I want to hear from the witnesses! This president must not be allowed to be a dictator!

Call witnesses and let America decide then.
#CallTheWitnesses

Roy Blunt has chosen to work to protect trump 24/7 over working for MO.He will spend the rest of trump’s Presidency working and lying for trump. Every day more will come out and new scandals and Roy will spend all of his time working to defend trump.
#CorruptGOP
#GOPCoverup

I disapprove of the job you are doing. I am your constituent.

Call the witness and vote to release the documents. Call for Trump to testify.
So you are going to vote no on both to spite the House Democrats? The majority of Americans want to hear the witnesses. You represent the people of Missouri. Not Trump

80 percent of Americans want to hear Bolton testify. This is a trial. All trials have witnesses. This what Americans want. Let Bolton testify!

It’s not half-baked when it’s all true and you’re unwilling or scared of Trump to do the right thing. Vote for witnesses and stop fucking around.

I have been on a jury. There were witness. There was evidence. Do you work for the people of Missouri or the President’s defense team? The President is accused of misusing our tax dollars. Why don’t you want to know the truth? #ShowMeWitnesses

Think of it this way: Trump has been impeached. A healthy majority think he abused power and obstructed Congress. The trial is about whether Republican Senators want to be accomplices. It is you who are on trial. #Coverup #ObstructionOfCongress #WeWantWitnesess
@senatemajldr

And you are the weakest Senator… sadly, I voted for you in 2016, but I can do something about that in 2022. Trust me, you vote to acquit and MO voters will remember !!

I am in your constituency and want witnesses and documents anything less is a coverup by you.

You’ve failed, Senator.

You’re planning to endorse illegally impounding military aid to a vulnerable ally to coerce them to announce a sham investigation to interfere in our elections and then deny congressional authority to investigate?

Sooo… you’re all in on unaccountable dictatorship, then.

Weaker than lying about a blow job? When 75% of Americans want witnesses, I guess that really doesn’t matter. Don’t worry, the truth is going to come out and you and your complicit and corrupt GOP ilk will be standing on the wrong side of history.

you’ve done your best to keep it impossible to bring the facts to light. But just remember, you’re setting precedent.

And the information is still going to come out. They can fool themselves into believing if they don’t allow Bolton to testify, they will have buried the evidence but that’s just not reality.

It’s shameful and the greatest betrayal that you are choosing to fight for a criminal to have unlimited and unchecked power instead of fighting for our sovereignty. What a disgrace.

So you do want witnesses in the Senate? Good to know! Let’s see you get on board with calling some to testify, Roy!

Sarcasm, eh.

Senator, you & fellow GOP senators are the real risk to democracy, not the corrupt & guilty President. When you vote to acquit, you destroy the ability of Congress to be a co-equal branch of govt and elevate Trump to King. #CorruptGOP

Yeah, except for all the times he and his staff admitted it. On television. In front of millions. Except for that, right, #RublesRoy?

You’re being delusional Senator Blunt. The evidence is there to support it, how can you sit back and allow this to happen? I mean if a democrat did half the stuff Trump has done you a the GOP would be screaming impeach or “lock her up”.

So calling out traitorous acts is half baked? Grow a spine, Roy. Do the right thing! #WeWantDocuments #WeWantWitness

How long do you think you’ll be able to get away with gaslighting the country?

You can’t participate in a whole sale coverup without consequences
Not only are the @SenateGOP choking the life out of a 243 year democracy, they have managed to mortally wound their own party.@GOP @HouseGOP @senatemajldr @GOPLeader

Putin is very proud of your loyalty to trump, Roy.

Trials have witnesses. Period. Anything else will be seen as a cover-up and Republicans will be remembered for it forever.

The State of Missouri deserves better. #CountryOverParty

Democracy is over in the United States. The Republicans have sold out the country to Trump and Putin. Democracy is over.

You’re embarrassing us, Roy. The only thing half-baked are the excuses the GOP keeps trying to run past us about why you’re going to acquit no matter what evidence you block to the contrary.

I don’t agree with your assessment. You have not been paying close attention to the facts. Witnesses and documents are needed regardless of which political party it helps.

Without witnesses you are participating in a cover-up.

And on and on.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

** We cannot assure anyone that no pedestrians were trampled in the hurry to issue this Tweet or in the efforts of Josh Hawley (r) to get in front of a microphone.

This afternoon:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
After listening to the Dems’ 20+ hours of argument and the rebuttal arguments from @realDonaldTrump, I’ve got lots of questions for the Dems. Like this one: Why did Schiff lie about his contact with the “whistleblower”? More to come!
1:33 PM · Jan 28, 2020

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses. They ain’t buying it:

But you don’t have any questions for Bolton, or Pompeo, or Trump? You’re the worst senator, and that’s a hard title to earn.

I’ve got questions:
Q1: Why did Trump ask Ukraine to do him a favor – check into Biden, when that was old news & already resolved?
Q2: Why was he ONLY interested in them announcing an investigation?
Q3: Why did he withhold the $ from Ukraine?
Huh, Josh?!!!

Why are we not asking the president why he illegally withheld aide from Ukraine in order to benefit his campaign? #politicalhack

@HawleyMO, I’m sorry, what exactly was the defense? All I’ve heard so far.. Bidens, Bidens, Bidens, oh, they threw in Obama, a lecture on impeachment and all the half truths and selective testimony taken out of context. BUT, I have heard no defense for #trumpIsACorruptLiar

What are you even talking about? Focus on the trial and stop the whataboutism

You’re worried about fiction instead of facts. Typical of republicans these days.

Mostly, we’d like to have some genuine first-hand information about the conversation. Bolton was there. He knows more than anyone we’ve heard from. It sure would be helpful to hear his side of the story.
#BoltonTestify

You are missing the point and just parroting the last few whitehouse points that were written on a map with a sharpie.. the oath needs to be replaced. New idea attach 50k Volts to each bollock and swear on that instead. If you lie you get a shock .. how to sort out politicians

Oh, FFS. This isn’t hard. Come to Kansas City and let your constituents ask questions of you, Senator. I’d say more to come, but you only show up on Fox News.

Have you tried using a bank of microphones as bait?

Call the witnesses; produce the documents. We deserve to know the whole truth. Doesn’t sound to me like Schiff did have contact. But does it matter? The whistleblower was just a tip; the facts have supported those claims.

@HawleyMO, where you sitting in on the trial? Do they have a little box in the senate room that the impeachment trial is playing on while Hannity gives his views? I’m thinking you didn’t see the first half of the trial. IGNORANCE is no excuse for the law!!!!

That would be funny if there actually was a little senators’ table.

Why did @realDonaldTrump lie about knowing Parnas? Why did @realDonaldTrump say to “take her out” about Yavonovitch? And why was the State Dept worried about her safety when they wisked her out Ukraine in the middle of the night?

This is performance art right? Like a bad Andy Kauffman/Tony Clifton thing. There is no way you could be this craven and devoid of integrity.

Tony Clifton had a better haircut.

Knock yourself out. By the way, Americans want to hear from John Bolton.

More to come = waiting for #MoscowMitch to tell me what to say.

Missouri deserves so much better. Impeach and Remove.

Better question, what is trump hiding?

I have a question… who is the hackiest hack, you or @SenJoniErnst?

Let Bolton Speak

Resign

Witnesses.

Yes, and what is the current market price of tea in China?

Call the witnesses. Produce the documents.

Do you have any questions about the President illegally impounding military aid to a vulnerable ally to coerce them into announcing a fake investigation to interfere in our elections on his behalf?

Why don’t you care about Trump’s abuse, betrayal, and corruption? #DoYourJob

How about, “Why did #ImpeachedForever #FakePresident think it was ok to bully a foreign government desperate for funds already allocated by congress, and then lie about it?” The good thing is that you are actually young enough to find another job when you are voted out of office.

Let’s call this exactly what it is: a cover-up.

What a ridiculously fraudulent partisan sham whitewash cover-up being executed by Trump and GOP.

Nobody believes you, Joshie. You’ve lied to us too many times.

#HucksterHawley who wants to be president in 2024 panders to the Trump base keeping their conspiracies and hocum alive. #GOPCorruptionOverCountry

You are a disgusting excuse for an American. You do not deserve the job of Senator. You should resign in shame.
You took an oath to defend the Constitution, and now when your defense is needed, you join the assault on our most sacred document. Why don’t you care what trump did?

Distract. Distract. Distract. Flashing objects at your base isn’t respectful. Cluttering the discussion can only hurt your cause. Schiff isn’t being impeached. Trump is. Lead or leave. And, stop having high school sophomores managing your messaging.
@realDonaldTrump

Not high school sophomores, a middle school dance decorating committee (volunteer). High school sophomores would be doing a much better job.

Great….now, how about you answer some questions for your constituents? You clearly have the time judging by your appearances on Fox News and your tweets yet we never get a response.

Why would you vote not to see witnesses when 70% of Americans would like to see testimony?

You’re lying and it the whistleblower is irrelevant. The Biden’s are irrelevant. The only thing that matters here is what Trump did and he’s guilty. If you don’t vote to remove, I hope you’ll be a one term senator.

He’ll have all the money he needs in 2024.

Where’s your moral compass? It seems to be MIA.

#OneTermJosh #OneTermHawley

I can’t believe there are enough gullible voters here for you to have a job. You’re a liar and a shill for your dear leader.

Deflection is such a played out tactic, Josh – is your case THAT weak?

Have you noticed @RoyBlunt is not tweeting? Maybe he’s at least trying to appear impartial.

You should just stop. It’s making you look dumb.

Look?

Dude, you like the tweaker who steals tools out of your garage and then comes back to help you look for it…shameless.

You’re a special kind of stupid, aren’t you? #RemoveandIndictTrumpNOW

You’re such a fucking liar it isn’t even funny.

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone.” – Charles P. Pierce

Tonight:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Dershowitz eviscerates the Dems’ case tonight. They have not charged an impeachable offense or alleged impeachable conduct. Period. Let’s vote
8:32 PM · Jan 27, 2020

As usual, there was much hilarity in the responses:

You know this because of your extensive Courtroom experience…….Oh wait.

That one was from a retired Missouri Circuit Court Judge.

…didn’t you want to hear from Hunter Biden and Schiff earlier today?

I’m just trying to keep track—are they important or nah?

He’s kind of shakey at this sycophant thing, so they cut him a little slack.

Here’s what’s changed. The NYT dropped another leak from Bolton’s book tonight. They have to get things wrapped up before anymore facts come out. Drip. Drip. Drip.

No, as a Show Me State resident, I want witnesses. Start with Bolton. Let’s get testimony

And now you know why josh had to quickly get a different job than being a lawyer

Ouch. That one left a mark.

Then let’s bring in Bolton and get the word straight from the horses mouth.

How can you vote when you haven’t heard from any witnesses? Why are you pushing this through? Is it because you are afraid of what else may surface publicly? Because you know it will.

How can abuse of power not be impeachable? It is by definition not proper conduct! And obstruction of Congress is denial of the Congress’s enumerated power to impeach and try impeachments. If that’s not impeachable, nothing is.

We’re Americans. We’re not children and we’re not afraid of the truth. Bring it.

Let loose the witnesses!

Yes, but they’re republican senators…

Dersh is a criminal defense lawyer. 1 of his students who became a constitutional lawyer said he was glad he didn’t have Dersh for constitutional law b/c his arguments are laughable. Explain how Trump was legally able to withhold aid already approved without notifying Congress.

Maybe the self described “constitutional lawyer” needs to ask for his law school tuition back.

The impeachable offense is listed in the articles. Once this bs grandstanding of parading republicans to defend their religious values is over… and the real trial begins… then you’ll have the proof for the impeachment.

But I understand dumb voters don’t research.

Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Dershowitz treated the Constitution today like a square of toilet paper. He has no conscience and will do anything to give Republicans an out. To Dumb down the Constitution like trump has dumbed down America. This is a direct assault on the Law and the US Constitution.

Yep, a vendetta against Republican attempts to have a trial without witnesses or documents – especially when new facts are coming out every day.

Republicans are delusional if they think acquitting trump w/o witnesses won’t come back & nite them in the a$$.

Obstruction is an impeachable offense, Senator. I know you’re focused on bootlicking, but have a bit of objective decency. Once again, feel free to come to KC and face your constituents!

Is it just me or does-
Trump’s attorneys sounds like they are doing an oral book report on a book they never read. Hours of nothing.

As my elected representative I urge you to stop being a sycophant and use that fancy Yale Law degree to think seriously about the danger this president poses to us all and our constitutional republic. You must vote to hear witnesses and to remove him from office.

Pro tip: cheating to win an election is always impeachable

Yeah Hunter Biden withheld military aide. He also told his personal attorney and the AG to go find dirt on his political opponents.

Are you really a constitutional lawyer? Did you get your degree in a gumball machine?

So I’m other words you failed logic and critical thinking in 8th grade.
#AmericansDemandWitnesses

“eviscerates”? Now that’s certainly creative. Seems more like he said no other ‘constitutional’ attorney agrees with me but that’s my opinion. Period. Let’s call witnesses.

Dershowitz is a prima facia case of “opinions money can buy”.

“The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust.“ I’ll take Alexander Hamilton‘s version over Dershowitz’s.

Dersh said himself that his opinion on this does not match the consensus of nearly all constitutional scholars. He is the outlier here.

Wait… aren’t you the one that said human trafficking is the result of the American sexual revolution in the 1960s? And ripping kids from their parents was a matter of upholding law and order?

Well, now that you ask, yes.

Why are you attempting to GASLIGHT Americans?

Wow Hawley. Now I know just where you stand. Against Justice, against the will of the People, hearing the witnesses & viewing documentation to complete the trial with full information. Missouri voting is easier everyday. Show your colors MO politicians. We’re watching.

And every constitutional scholar says Dershowitz is totally wrong. If you can find even one reputable person to agree with him, you might have a case, but the only person who used to agree with him wrote an op-ed today about why offenses were impeachable.

Whoa there, Joshy. Captain Underpants spoke in contradictions and has even less credibility than Ken Starr. But I can see you’re in a hurry to acquit before Bolton has a chance to testify. He’s a first hand witness. Isn’t that what you say is missing?

Feeling the rush to vote before Parnas drops another 2 -3 videos?

He didn’t eviscerate anything.
It was so unwatchable and nonsensical I had to turn it off.

Did you have to use your fidget spinner to make it through that mess?

#CallTheWitnesses #LetBoltonTestify

Dershowitz has a pretty obscure take on the matter. Seems like you maybe should call other Constitutional scholars since most say his arguments is utter BS. But you already know that, don’t you. So tired of GOP dishonesty.

I am so disappointed in you. I look forward to supporting whoever runs against you. I just wish I could vote against you sooner. You have shown time and again that you have no character. Such a disgrace.

The president’s defense is still just lies and misdirection, just like his life.

And on and on…

The junior senator for Missouri had his delicate sensibilities mussed this evening.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Schiff & Co end as they began: insulting senators, calling @realDonaldTrump a dictator, and disparaging the will of the voters
8:11 PM · Jan 24, 2020

Hmmm. A royalist toady. Go figure.

As always, the responses:

Schiff is asking us all to remember that truth matters. You may have forgotten, Josh, but the nation hasn’t.

This isn’t about the 2016 election. This is about a man who betrayed the nation.

Shame you are following him like a lapdog.
#truthmatters

Or, a toady.

I’m a constituent. I just called your office and left a message. Your most solemn obligation to this Republic is to vote to remove this aspiring autocrat from office. You’ll be remembered for nothing else.

You did not watch the impeachment. There was plenty of evidence. In a criminal trial this would be a slam dunk.

To oppose these article means you have a fundamentally flawed understanding of American history or governance.

As a veteran, I am completely insulted of your fealty to a man and not our Constution. We want documents and witnesses NOW!

And you end as you began, ignoring all evidence presented and disparaging the public who wants to hear from the witnesses Trump silenced.

At least you’re consistent. Never did your job as AG. Not doing it as our Senator.

Ouch.

You’re not voting on whether or not you’re offended or if President Snowflake got his feelings hurt. You’re supposed to be voting on the truth. Which would be significantly easier to do if you would allow witnesses and evidence.

Why are you protecting this man? He could not be less worthy. Oh wait.. you’re That Josh Hawley.

Truth matters. Apparently it hurts too if all you got out of this is a presumed insult.

You know what else disparages voters? Election interference.

71% of voters want witnesses.
51% of voters want Trump removed.

The will of the voters wanted Hillary.

Well if it walks like a dictator and talks like a dictator…

Oh their FEELINGS were hurt with some words and not at all by the THREAT to their heads CUT off and put on spikes by the person THEY are defending?

Ok… What color is sky on the planet you’re from.

Says the MO Senator whose seat was bought and paid for by Dark Money Super PACs. Lev Parmas donated a lot of money to Missouri campaigns right Josh?

Spoken like a professional bootlicker who didn’t open his mind one centimeter to honor the oath of impartiality he took before the trial. Good luck, @HawleyMO. America heard everything.

Schiff is asking us to remember that truth matter. The Constitution matters. Your president used extortion for his own personal gain. He is a pathological liar. He thinks he is above the law. That is all the traits of a dictator. Too bad the GOP sees fit to cover up his crimes.

As if Trump doesn’t call names, jealous of a 16 year old girl for being picked as “Person of the Year” has derogatory names for everyone that dares to “hand it back to him” when he bullies. So spare the poor, poor pitiful, Trump is a victim BS.

Damn. You are unbelievable. This is America. Trials have documents and witnesses. And jurors are there to look at the evidence and make a call. The evidence is overwhelming. This will be the vote that everyone remembers Remove Trump.

I’m a constituent! “Give America a fair trial. She’s worth it.” #Fairtrial #WitnessesAndDocuments

The wannabe dictator who lacks the insight that suggests he wants to do whatever he wants just like a dictator. Newsflash! The American people are the real jurors!

The voters wanted a criminal for President? That seems odd…
But I guess they did. Trump was a criminal for decades before he ran for President

Omg. I watched the entire close. That *that* is what you took from him is evidence of a juvenile, superficial, and insipid “thinking”. You are the Peter Principle embodied.

truth hurts

if there is only one branch of government, by default the mode of government is a monarchy

You’re a constitution lawyer? You should go back and read the constitution, think you missed some parts.

Trump lost the election by 2,868,686 votes.

Yep.

Your constituents are watching. What I saw was Adam Schiff and Democrats standing up for the rule of law and truth and the constitution. All I’ve seen out of Republican Senators is whining about having to listen. You are an embarrassment to Missouri.

Yeah, whatever.
So,here’s your chance. Vote to admit witnesses/evidence.Use them to exonerate the impeached president,if that’s what they support.If exonerated,then acquit.
Acquittal 1st,before this process,concedes his guilt and he will never be exonerated.
Uphold your oath.

Truth hurts, huh?
As for the will of the voters, need I remind you that your boy lost the popular vote and that without cheating, he will lose the next election too?

They’re disparaging the actions of a tyrant.

What do you call a leader of a country who disregards the law, disregards his advisors, disdains government norms & simply does whatever he wants because he knows he has castrated the Senate by his bullying? A dictator

Schiff destroyed the President’s defense before it even started. Fantastic work from Schiff, he’s a true patriot.

Quit grandstanding and do your job.

And on and on…

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Wait, isn’t he supposed to be in his seat paying attention? Just asking

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

This afternoon (during the Senate impeachment trial):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
WOW, House managers make extended argument that Hunter Biden’s work w/ Burisma entirely appropriate & no conflict of interest w/ Joe Biden getting rid of prosecutor that had jurisdiction over Burisma. If we call witnesses, gonna need to hear from both Bidens
2:22 PM · Jan 23, 2020

And, there is much hilarity in the responses:

The Republicans had a majority in the US Senate for years. Why haven’t you issued subpoenas for any of those people in all this time? If this is a legitimate concern, hold a hearing, call witnesses, and/or give the evidence to the FBI. You don’t need the Democrats permission.

How about calling Bolton?

Call Bolton, Pompeo, Mulvaney, Trump, and Pence and let’s see what they all say under oath.

We really need to hear from Bolton. And Trump.

WOW! This has been explained so many times even the folks at Fox get it. For someone who thinks he’s so smart and never shies away from letting everyone know it you sure are dense.

So you’re saying you want to hear from Bolton and Mulvaney about what Trump knew and why he took the actions he did — and also Rudy. I agree. Let’s call ’em.

Yes, and you need to hear from Millard Fillmore, Frederick Chopin and Paul Bunyan’s left testicle. Let’s get to the bottom of this so JFK Jr. can finally come out of hiding.

That prosecutor wasn’t investigating Burisma and you’re well aware of that.

Let’s do it. You get the Bidens. We get Bolton. Mulvaney. Pence. Perry. Parnas.
Feeling lucky, punk?

You mean you stayed for some of the testimony? You weren’t busy doing an interview, for which you should be prevented from voting. If I were a juror in a local case, I’d be in jail tonight.

Well, we did get a Tweet.

Do it then?

Ivanka Trump’s resume :

1. Denied Security Clearance
2. Failed Clothing Line
3. Inauguration Fraud Lawsuit
4. Almost Indicted for Condo Sakes Fraud. Bribe was paid
5. Used her position in the WH to gain trademarks from China

But let’s investigate Hunter

Classic. Bolton, Mulvaney, Pompeo, and more have actual info on these two articles of impeachment and you want to shift to the Bidens. If corruption was the concern, why didn’t Spanky use a real law enforcement agency? Why a “personal” lawyer?

That prosecutor was so corrupt, the rest of the world wanted to get rid of him (except for Putin). If it *was* corruption, why just focus on one company? How stupid do you think we are? If AG Barr thinks there is something, he can and should investigate.

You have constituents watching. You can’t gaslight those who are watching. If you are serious about your job, you should want to call witnesses and have documents to have a complete record. Have a fair trial. If the President is acquitted after a fair trial then so be it.

Cool now do the current administration

Bring everyone in and put them on the witness stand including the POTUS. Stop acting like a coward and call witnesses. You don’t want to do that because you know POTUS is guilty.

Hey dipshit. Uphold your oath.

If you’re saying you need to figure out whether Trump had a legitimate motive than the witness to call is Trump. Because anything Joe or Hunter Biden could testify, but that Trump didn’t already know isn’t relevant to determining Trump’s motive.

I am a suburban mother from West County STL and you sir, are entirely out of touch with what your constituents are looking for from their Senators. I have been watching and it is very clear that we need to see documents and witnesses for this trial to considered fair!

So..they aren’t on trial here. Trump is…not following your logic.

In that case, you should call Trump as a witness, since this is his trial. I’m sure he’ll be happy to, since he is so innocent, right? It’s not like he will lie under oath or anything.

Why?
The question is did Trump have sufficient evidence & any reasoning for asking a foreign power to announce an investigation.
The Bidens’ don’t know what evidence trump had.
You should call trump, who said he wants to testify, to provide the evidence he had.

We need to hear from members of the international community regarding the removal of the corrupt Ukranian attorney general for the story that the Trump Republicans keep twisting and lying about.

I can’t believe they are impeaching President Hunter Biden!

We see what they did there.

The logic of a twelve year old with something to hide. Trump is on trial, the American people demand fact witnesses, not a dog and pony show.

Bingo! We have a winner.

“Constitutional lawyer” my ass. Maybe he should ask for his money back.

That means you’ll have to hear from all the Drumph kids, too. Y’know, since conflict of interest is such a big deal for you.

They’re bluffing, they wouldn’t dare call the Bidens

If any witnesses are called, trump’s going down.
The defense is going to be short and sweet, trump didn’t do anything impeachable, case closed

We The People are the target audience for @RepAdamSchiff

Translation: “Look over here! Pay no attention to Trump’s corruption behind this curtain! Here’s someone to blame!” Trump’s only wanted, & still wants to taint a 2020 rival with everything Trump’s guilty of. How did Ivanka & Jared gain $137M with White House jobs last year?

We all paid for that.

Why? The ONLY reason Trump asked about the Bidens was to get Ukraine to announce they would start an investigation which, genius, they didn’t even have to conduct. Not ONCE did Trump mention corruption. He abused his office to get dirt on an opponent.

Ok Josh, I am a Dem go ahead call them, then we get Bolton and Giuliani and Mulvaney and Blair

Biden: US Policy
trump: self interest

If you don’t know the difference, you shouldn’t be a senator.

He’s a “constitutional lawyer”. It says so on his Twitter.

Do they know about trumps corruption. If they do fine otherwise you are being disingenuous.

How’s the weather there in Moscow? You propaganda spewing buffoon?

Not certain who that was addressed to.

Duh, that’s not what they said. They said Biden was doing his lawful job as required by US policy and the wishes of our allies.

Why aren’t you in the chamber doing your damn job and listening to the testimony? You should not be permitted to be a juror. #DoYourJob

He’s special entitled.

My god you’re awful. Biden did what our country, the EU and the IMF asked him too. Trump extorted an ally directly against our interests.

Did you tweet this while presentations were under way? Wouldnt want to violate Senate rules for impeachment proceedings, Josh? Wait you went on Fox yesterday when you shouldve been on the Senate floor!

But, let me guess….. you don’t want to hear from Bolton, Guiliani, Parnas, or anyone else with firsthand knowledge of what went on. You guys are disgusting.

Yo, Josh, why did Nunes and his staffer, Derek Harvey, want oppo on Amb. Yovanovitch? What was Nunes going to do with it? Why aren’t you calling Nunes to testify?

Bring it, wanksplat. By all accounts, Shokin was in office to promote corruption, not fight it. He wasn’t even investigating Burisma.

It doesn’t appear that wanksplat is a term of endearment.

The Bidens aren’t being impeached. The orange despot is. Pay attention.

what conduct of the President did they witness?

They are not on trial, you fence post

We will also need to hear from your Senate colleagues Rob Portman and Ron Johnson to know why they supported removing Shokin as general prosecutor in Ukraine. They are witnesses, and must testify!

Sekulow and Cipollone are both witnesses. What will you do about that? Call them? Depose them?

Bolton, Perry, Pence, Pompeo, Mulvaney. What about them?

Biden was echoing U.S., NATO and IMF policy – it was also aligned with the GOP’s stance – namely Senators Johnson and Portman. Probably why they say Biden is good

*if*. All of the sudden after they baited you into calling witnesses you’re too chickenshit to do it

WOW! Sure.

And the President, of course. Of course, right? Because he would have to answer questions about whether he held funds because of corruption, or to get dirt on the Bidens.

Right?

So go ahead. Make our day. If you think it’s a bluff call him. Only makes us stronger. It’s lose-lose for you.

That prosecutor, who was actively not investigating Burisma? Who was totally corrupt? Who was to be replaced with a prosecutor who would do his job?

So you want Trump, Pence, Pompeo and Bolton to testify, excellent.

In the real world we know that’s all debunked nonsense, but it sure plays well with the rubes.

Lying is a sin, Senator.

It’s so quaint that someone believes he cares about that.

Republicans. Relying on the stupidity of their base, every minute of every day.

Unforced error. Assumed facts that have not been investigated. Will need to be evaluated if they’re to be decided upon. Opened that door wide. Unintentional tho?

You need to study up on the legal concept of relevance.

But, but he’s a “constitutional lawyer”. It says so on his Twitter.
