McConnell says GOP lacks votes to block impeachment witnesses, as Bolton book throws trial script into doubt
By Marisa Schultz | Fox News
The White House's plans for a speedy trial were thrown into doubt with Senate Republicans on Tuesday floating competing proposals on how to deal with new explosive revelations from ex-national security adviser John Bolton that have the potential to blow up the impeachment trial -- and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell telling Republicans he doesn’t have enough votes to block the calling of impeachment witnesses.
GOP senators were all over the map on Tuesday as President Trump's defense team called Bolton’s manuscript “inadmissible” and warned against opening the door to new wild-card information in the ongoing impeachment trial.
A source with knowledge of McConnell's comments confirmed to Fox Business that the Kentucky Republican told people in a private meeting Tuesday that they do not have the votes to block impeachment witnesses. The Wall Street Journal first reported the comments.

Where are these other threads of which you speak?  This one has been running continuously since the headline was accurate, and I'm not changing it.  I'd rather let the thread die.

That's really some bullsh*t on his part when you think about it. He's the damn majority leader and he wants us to believe he can't get his own people in line to prevent the Dems from getting in the Senate what they refused to do in the House?

See I'm not fine with witnesses. That was supposed to be done during the House phase. But they were in such a rush because you know..."this had to be done now!" according to the Dems. They are trying to get "evidence" in through the back door they couldn't through the front. This is a win at any costs move by the Dems and Mitch and the Republicans need to stop it now before it gets any farther. This has to be one of those "trigger points" that McConnell put into the ground rules to shut this whole thing down.

Seriously?

Did you think the bid'ness as usual crowd in the GOP likes having Trump in there. Their little pocket lining scams are just under the scum on that pond. If he skims too deep, they will be exposed, too.

It's why NOTHING came out of Congress during the first two years of this administration except more debt.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Oh I know...but it still pisses me off.  I'm honestly surprised now that it's ver that McConnell didn't cave.

I'm sure of that.  There will be some fake "bombshell" stories from the Lamestream Media, designed to pressure Republicans to open the door for witlesses.

Isn't that door is shut now? For the next few days the rat media'll have bombshells to humiliate GOP senators - taking the senate is the big prize. Still I can't imagine why anyone would agree to delay ending this farce yesterday.

Schumer can make Motions to his heart's content in the next few days.  Motions that have to have the votes Whipped and cast.  They might go down 51-49 like yesterday, or some fresh BS news story might convince the Usual Suspects to switch to "Yes" votes.  That's why I expect bogus "bombshell" stories.

There's a lot of time between last night and Wed. to create new revelations that the left will say have to be addressed before a final vote can be made.

Yup.  Gonna "Kavanaugh" him.  I wonder what the "nuclear bombshell" is going to be?  The suspense is killing me.
