House Democrats keeps asking the same questions and is just rearranging the words.

Susan Collins’ question: Are there legitimate circumstances under which a president can request that a foreign country investigate a U.S. citizen, including a political rival, who is not already under investigation by the U.S. government?

This is such a good question. What Schiff is skating by without understanding is that the Obama Administration worked with at least two foreign countries to investigate individuals associated with Donald Trump’s campaign.

I wish Trump team would play offense here instead of going back to the transcript. The question was can a president work with a foreign country to investigate a political rival.  Schiff said no. Clearly, the Obama Administration did that

The American people don’t buy the Democrats’ impeachment sham.

REMINDER:

While Democrats try to impeach, Trump’s approval rating is at an “all-time high”— Eric Herschmann

We live in a world where Democrat politicians are used to being able to strawman Republican positions because they never have to interact with an objective journalist who calls them on their nonsense

Philbin: Trump asked about a situation in which @JoeBiden
 fired a prosecutor. Regardless, yes! -- a situation could arise. It would be in our national interest to have info about bad overseas conduct by candidate, even non-criminal.

Just asked Pres Trump’s legal defense team this question & they couldn’t answer.
Asking again: Reports show Pres Trump does not pay Rudy Giuliani, his personal attorney, for his services. Who does pay Mr. Giuliani in his capacity as Trump’s attorney & representative in Ukraine?

You can hear the desperation in Adam Schiff's voice now. He is basically begging the Senate to give him witnesses he should have subpoena'd himself. He has no case and he knows it. He is pathetic lol. He sounds like he is about to start crying.

Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa says that it was “concerning” that Chief Justice John Roberts would not read Paul’s question.

“That’s concerning. I think that all questions need to be considered,” she said, per @FoxReports
. Paul’s questioned included the name of alleged whistleblower

A few takeaways from a Dem aide working on the impeachment trial on first few hrs today:

GOP still has no good answers on why would prevent witnesses/documents

Feel like Dershowitz is in the doghouse as he is not here today after he said what they believe out loud ystdy (1/2)

Federal Judges and this includes Supreme Court Justices can be impeached.

I can’t wait for more people to learn this and start politicizing the judiciary by moving to impeach federal judges who do stuff Congress doesn’t like.

You cannot be acquitted if you don’t have a trial. You don’t have a trial if you don’t have witnesses and documentation.
 
If Republican Senators choose a cover-up, the American people and history will judge it with the harshness it deserves.

Your house managers have repeatedly alleged that the case to impeach the president has been conclusively proven so why on earth would you need more witnesses Nancy?

He's a CNN reporter.  Not to be confused with a professional journalist.

Q from Sinema, Manchin, Murkowski and Collins: "Will the president assure the American public that private citizens will not be directed to conduct American foreign policy or national security policy unless they have been specifically and formally designated ... to do so?"

Blown away that Schiff and the Democrats now want to talk about "fairness."

President Trump was allowed no legal representation for the first 71 days of a 78 day House investigation. That's 91%.

"Fairness" wasn't in the Democrats' vocabulary when they controlled this process.

Factual timeline conflicts with key Adam Schiff argument at impeachment trial. Ukraine started new Burisma probe months BEFORE Trump raised issue in call with Ukraine’s new president.

[Bigun]

Someone should inform Mr. Schiff that no one gives a flying F what HE thinks! What they want is to see your EVIDENCE  if you have any!
