 McConnell rejects Schumer's demands, says House did 'inadequate' job on impeachment
By Alex Swoyer - The Washington Times
Tuesday, December 17, 2019

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday dismissed demands from the Senate’s top Democrat for live testimony during the impending impeachment trial against President Trump, saying Democrats in his chamber now want to clean up the House’s mess.

Mr. McConnell said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, wants to add to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff’s “sloppy work” by calling more witnesses than what the House chose to pursue.

 
The Kentucky Republican said the House failed to go to court to pursue “useful witnesses” and that Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her colleagues didn’t want to wait for due process.

In a rare moment in history, the Turtle is correct.  Schumer knows he has a pig in a poke, and is trying to backfill what his counterparts in the House failed to do.

So McConnell isn't giving Chuckles a "Mulligan" for the House's botch-job? :silly:

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Let's just hope McConnell hangs tough on this.  We know he has it in him, but will he use it for something better than swatting off TEA Party types?

The turtle is aces on holding tough if he thinks he has the votes.

He just doesn't do symbolic statements in defeat.

Props to McConnell.  He is playing hard ball with these dipshits so far.

That would imply that Chuck is interested in a fair trial, finally, in the Senate and I see no evidence of that.
