Senate gears up for battle over witnesses in impeachment trial
By Alexander Bolton - 12/13/19 06:00 AM EST

Republican and Democratic senators are gearing up for an intense battle over witnesses at an impeachment trial likely to set the tone for the 2020 elections.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) have yet to start negotiating on the parameters for the trial, but lawmakers are already jockeying over key questions such as how long a trial should last, whether witnesses will be called and if the White House will be subpoenaed for documents.

Democrats and Republicans appear to be on the cusp of trading rhetorical places.

You can just stand down Schmukie.  Witnesses will be determined in consultations between the Senate leader and the President's legal team.

If your input is wanted, someone will fart in your direction.
