Leftist Hogwash and utter BS.
Spit !!!
The case is a stretch. Acquit and move on. There is real work to be done.
Shifty Schiff and Dancy Nancy made a sloppy case and are stretching this like a rubber band.
It's over. Democrats have to lick their wounds and move on. Another attempt to remove a Popular democratically elected President failed. This marks the dismantling of leftists in America. They can only bark.

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, member of President Donald Trump's legal team, answers a question at the Senate trial of President Trump.
Republican senators are sounding more optimistic they have the votes to soon end the impeachment trial of President Trump and shut down a wildcard phase of calling witnesses.
Despite Democrats’ drumbeat on the need to call witnesses like former National Security Adviser John Bolton, Republicans have signaled there’s growing momentum to shut down the trial sometime after the question phase concludes Thursday night -- though exactly how that plays out is an open question.
“I think, by that time, people will have heard enough,” Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., told "Fox News @ Night." “They will have learned what they need to know about this case. And the plan is for Friday to vote. And the momentum is moving to say we've heard enough. Let's move to final judgment.”
Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., was optimistic impeachment could end as soon as late Friday if the witness vote fails and senators move to acquit the president.
“Obviously, I think we’re going to push to finish Friday,” Rounds said Wednesday night after the dinner break with his caucus.
Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., also cautiously upbeat, said if the witness votes fails, he’d like to see the Senate move swiftly toward an acquittal.
“My personal preference would be let's move quickly to close it out. But, that will probably be a group decision,” Thune said.
On Friday, senators will take the fateful vote on whether to continue the trial by subpoenaing witnesses and documents. After the trial begins at 1 p.m., the House managers and White House lawyers will have four hours, equally divided, to debate the merits of bringing Bolton and others to testify.
Democrats would need at least four Republicans to join with them to get 51 votes needed to pass.
DERSHOWITZ MOUNTS UNCONVENTIONAL DEFENSE OF TRUMP AS SENATE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL ENTERS NEW PHASE
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said he believes there are at least three Republicans who are seriously considering witnesses. “We need more,” he acknowledged Thursday.
GOP Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska are the three senators who have consistently signaled a willingness to join with Democrats.
"The fate of much of the future of how this republic conducts itself is on the shoulders of four Republicans," said Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
"A trial without truth, without key evidence, without witnesses and documents would render the president's acquittal meaningless," Schumer added. "A giant asterisk next to it, because the trial was so rigged in his favor."
If the vote on witnesses fails Friday, there’s little else governing the next steps of the trial, except that the floor would be open to motions. Schumer declined to say what motions he’d seek, except that “the minority has rights and we’ll exercise those rights.”
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will have first dibs on next steps and can put forth his initial proposal on how he’d like to end the trial. An up-or-down vote on acquittal could take place on Saturday.
Republicans hammered the case that if they open the door to witnesses, the Senate could become a circus. Deposing witnesses and potentially heading to court if Trump exerts executive privilege would just prolong the inevitable acquittal of the president, they argue. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has continually warned that if Democrats get Bolton, the GOP has the votes to haul in other witnesses Democrats don't want to see, including Hunter Biden.
Opening up the witness phase would be the like “wild west” with votes on who and what would be subpoenaed, Thune said.
“It's completely unknown territory. And there's a lot of uncertainty and unpredictability about what might happen next," he said.

With swing state Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado and Martha McSally of Arizona saying they are ready to shut down the trial, Republicans have been increasingly talking about ending the proceedings.
“It’s time to vote,” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said.
Schifty Schiff tried to pull off a big con job. He claimed that he had overwhelming evidence but keeps shifting the gaol post. He screwed up and should take full responsibility for this failure.
Will Nancy eventually be removed by a leftists coup in the democrat party and be replaced ?
From CNN's Dana Bash
Before Rep. Adam Schiff made his proposal to limit witnesses to a week, Sen. Chuck Schumer shushed an aide who had been whispering something to him, suggesting he knew what was coming and wanted to hear it.
As Schiff was proposing it, Schumer was grinning like the cat who ate the canary. McConnell sat characteristically expressionless.
When Sen. Ron Johnson asked the question on behalf of a slew of GOP senators about Adam Schiff’s staffer who used to work at the NSC the tension in the chamber was palpable. Schiff was really mad, which I am sure came across on TV but you could really feel it in the room.
When Trump attorney Jay Sekulow responded and noted that whistleblowers are only protected from retribution, Sen. Joni Ernst aggressively nodded her head and mouthed the word “yes.”
hey hey hey
From CNN's Jim Acosta
A White House official said the President and his team are not concerned about the prospect of new revelations from former national security adviser John Bolton’s upcoming book that could surface after a vote to acquit Trump.
“No risk,” the official said. “After the President is acquitted, at some point Bolton‘s gonna Bolton, and it’ll be seen as another part of the Democratic impeachment fiasco.”
I see you subscribe to CNN what happen FOXY News ban you. Or you looking at the Truth.
Why would Bolton testify? He’s in this for money, his book. Lots of hype!

It would only if consumers think there is more in his book than what is disclosed in his testimony. I think Bolton wants the speculations surrounding the impeachment trial but may be concerned that it could hurt his book sales.
If I understand how trials work, a person has to be initially charged with a crime within a few days of being arrested but the case against them can continue to develop with time. Sometimes during trial new developments emerge and can be admissible in the trial. Similarly, although the House case against Trump is very strong, the House Managers hoping that the Senate gets Bolton to testify is to help clear the boo boo out of the Republicans' eyes. Especially in light of Graham and McConnel's statements that they are hell bent on allowing Trump to get away with his abuse of power. Everyone and their uncle knows that Trump is guilty. Even more guilty than Nixon was. Clinton's sin was that he likes p ussy as much as I do so I wouldn't consider that an abuse of power especially since the binni was 25 years and old enough to consent to the cigar treatment.
