So what do they have left?

"Ambassador Sondland did not tell us, and certainly did not tell me, about a connection between the assistance and the investigations."

It takes a great deal more than one proven lie to lose all credibility with the jury. Unless their whole testimony was just that one lie.

Not hardly. Whole cases have been dismissed on less.

There goes the whole case...

The hilarious part is that if this goes to trial (which may involve actual physical beatings of Dem moderates at this point), the Democrats will scream the Republicans are 'covering it up' - by having a fair trial!

OK, so as we found out yesterday - President Zelenskiy said three different times that he was not pressured and that aid was not tied to the possible investigations (Schiff basically called him a liar). Now Foreign Minister Prystaiko who was dealing directly with Sondland says the same. If the person being extorted wasn't actually being extorted where is the crime?

Indeed. Once the credibility of a witness has been impeached on one point, the court can't start arbitrarily picking and choosing which parts of his testimony to believe.

So, you're all counting on Moscow Mitch to keep your obviously corrupt and treasonous dear leader in the White House, huh. You people must be really ashamed of yourselves. If you're not, you will be in the future when you have to deny having been a defender of the Treasonous Trump.

Dude, this thing is so bad for the Dems that I'm not even sure they going ahead with articles. This crap can't stand up to basic courtroom standards - McConnell doesn't need anything more than that.
