Democrats should be ready to yield on Hunter Biden and Eric Ciaramella with those kind of poll numbers.
He's not alone. The RWers on this forum are consistent liars.

Hello Southern Chicken,
Oh, how convenient. Throw it all into the courts to be dragged out for years and years? And the reason this is unacceptable is somehow not understood?

Innocent until proven guilty. There is Zero evidence that Zelensky was threatened. There is no need for rebuttal witnesses.
However, there is evidence that Biden & Obobo threatened Poroshenko. BTW, did "the billion dollar man" ever prosecute Burisma like Obobo wanted?
Neither Biden nor Obama have been impeached nor are on trial, you fucking idiot.

But it’s relevant to the defense’s case.
The trial is supposed to be fair, right?
It is overwhelming to those willing to examine the facts. That excludes idiots of your magnitude and the Republican pussies in the Senate.

Hello Darth,
You should have listened to more of what Trump said today.
Trump said he would block their testimony. He said he would like to hear from them but it would be a national security issue, so he would have to block it.
"But Trump then argued that he could assert executive privilege to try to block the witnesses if called saying it could be a national security risk if they shared private conversation they had with the president."
Trump, today: "I would rather go the long way. I would rather interview Bolton. I would rather interview a lot of people. The problem with John is, that it’s a national security problem"

Here's the way it works in real trials. When a person is indicted based on existing evidence, any additional evidence discovered AFTER the indictment can still be offered at trial. That's the case here, dumbfuck. More information is becoming available almost every day. IN ADDITION to the evidence sufficient to impeach.
Comprende, moron?
This trial is about constitutional issues, not HB's job at Burisma.

How is he wrong?
There are at least potential national security issues with Bolton testifying and Trump has the authority to block it/him with that annoying executive privilege thing. It’s ‘the problem’ with Bolton.
Trump’s opinion doesn’t matter and neither does ours: it’s up to senate democrats and how bad they want to hear from Bolton.
The poll numbers suggest they should put Hunter Biden on the stand. In addition to some others.
Never. And Schiff noted this several times in his arguments.
The House blocking witnesses? Are you fucking drunk?

The trial will be whatever the majority of the Senate says it will be about.
It’s not the Schiff Show now.
Liar
Impeachment is about trump's abuse of the Constitution, not HB's job at Burisma.

J. The President's Conduct Towards Flynn, Manafort,
K. The President's Conduct Involving Michael Cohen
“Our investigation found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations. The incidents were often carried out through one-on-one meetings in which the President sought to use his official power outside of usual channels. These actions ranged from efforts to remove the Special Counsel and to reverse the effect of the Attorney General's recusal; to the attempted use of official power to limit the scope of the investigation; to direct and indirect contacts with witnesses with the potential to influence their testimony. Viewing the acts collectively can help to illuminate their significance. For example, the President's direction to McGahn to have the Special Counsel removed was followed almost immediately by his direction to Lewandowski to tell the Attorney General to limit the scope of the Russia investigation to prospective election-interference only-a temporal connection that suggests that both acts were taken with a related purpose with respect to the investigation.”

We already have enough truth from enough witnesses. Trump is a treacherous criminal and these GOP cowards are giving the middle finger to the America people and The Constitution in fear of losing their cushy seats. The majority of the people want this POS removed and hopefully most of these dirt-bags will be voted out.
Btw, we already know the trial is not fair. Repubs voted down every motion the House raised yesterday.
