    Er, no. It's the Senate's job to try the case. It is occasionally necessary to ask for witnesses at trial that could not appear before the grand jury but allowing that is at the judge's discretion. Here, discretion belongs to the Senate.

    In a normal proceeding, this isn't often granted to prosecution since they shouldn't have proceeded with an insufficient case.

    McConnell should let Pelosi have her haggling until after Christmas, then demand/pull the articles and take a few weeks working out procedure/new drapes. Then start hearings on the evidence presented to the House - with most of the front runner Dems cooling their heels in the 'very solemn' trial while Super Tuesday passes them by.

    Then vote.
    If you recall Obama skipped hearings on the 2008 economic collapse to continue campaigning.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      I remember both Obama and McCain leaving the campaign trail to attend the hearing.

        We get it, you don't want witnesses or documents, you want a continuation of the cover-up.

          Like i said to CP, we get it you fear an open and honest trial.

            You too, fear witnesses and documents.

              Actually that would apply to republicans.

                Don't worry yourself, the articles will be transmitted and a trial will take place.

                  You've tried this lie before, and it's still demonstrative of what a petty little unprincipled you can be, Jim.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      What are you talking about, you've all made it clear that you agree with McConnell that there will be no witnesses or documents. That's a continuation of Trumps obstruction/cover-up.

                          Obama, with an obsequent MSM nodding in unison, said that he was capable of doing two things at one time.

                            Oh, but the Democrats don't want Republicans to call those witnesses.

                              You see Biden or Warren able to pull that off now?

                                Good, now see if the Senate votes to subpoena them.
