Unless there is an unexpected flip, the Senate will not be calling any witnesses and impeachment will be over before the Super Bowl.... the last remaining hopeful for a fourth possible vote is now a solid no:
But Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), who would have been the needed fourth, is a no. Alexander said while he thought what Trump had done was inappropriate, it did not rise to the level of an impeachable offense. So even if everything Democrats said was true, there was no reason to have more evidence since it wasn’t an impeachable offense in any event. He also said he thought the American people should decide in the election.
Yeah... go figure on the American people deciding the election. The problem for Democrats and Trump haters isn't that they wanted some symbolic impeachment, but rather they really don't want to face a politically healthy Donald Trump come November. A longer trial with more anti-Trump witnesses would have helped that cause. Now the President can claim vindication and aquittal (and no amount of spinning will change that he is right).
Either way, it looks like RINO Romney will be voting for witnesses, as well as Susan Collins. Lisa Murkowski is taking the night to think about it. But even with Murkowski, the Democrats would only have 50 vote, which (short of the less than likely possibility of Justice Roberts voting) is determined to be a negative result. Many expect Murkowski to vote no, just to avoid the problems with a 50-50 tie and to garner some goodwill with the President and her red state of Alaska.

Schiff could’ve charged Trump with collusion, bribery, corruption, and treason, but instead chose two things that aren’t crimes because they’re more serious.

Schiff making up Trump monologues last night probably sealed the deal. Someone reasonably asked that if Schiff lies and misrepresent facts that can be easily check then what else is he lying about.v
The senators have had enough of this clown show.
Schiff and Nadler both trying to get two the podium for the final question last night was funny. Even funnier was Trump putting the 20 second video to chariots of fire.
Yes a monumental win for obstruction....Trump will declare he is the best thing since white bread and the slurping will continue....He will also claim the best economy evah when in reality....Carter did better....Oh well....thinking long term, you think this vote will not be remembered in novermber since 75% of voters think witnesses are required and the fact this impeachment is the first to be closed without one.....Yeah enjoy your pyrrhic victory as your old white man party will take it up trumps fat white ass and you will enjoy it......>BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
feel those crosses BERN:
Seven years after Martin Luther King, Jr. referred to George Wallace as "perhaps the most dangerous racist in America today," a young Bernie Sanders praised the segregationist Alabama governor.
In an interview with the Brattleboro Reformer in 1972, Sanders, then 31, said Wallace "advocates some outrageous approaches to our problems, but at least he is sensitive to what people feel they need."

Lack of evidence is always proof of a cover up!
But the new Democratic talking points memo is that anyone accused of a crime who indignantly decides to offer a defense is obviously hiding something and must be guilty.
New manner in which Democrats see justice!
Guilty until proven innocent...
With no right to a defense because it will make you "look guilty".

Farm Bankruptcies Hit 8-Year High

How the Senate Impeachment Trial Should End
January 31, 2020 at 7:13 am EST
Playbook: “The chamber will gavel in around 1 p.m., and they will move to four hours of debate on whether to call witnesses or request new documents. That motion will come to a vote around 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
“If the witness vote fails, there will be a bit of discussion, then a vote on whether to proceed to the final vote. That motion is amendable, so Democrats might want to try to force some tough votes. (There’s some question about moving to closed session to debate the verdict, but many Republicans we’ve spoken to do not seem interested in that.) Then, once they get past the motion to go to a final vote, they’ll proceed to the final vote.
“Senators we spoke to Thursday predicted this could go as late as 3 or 4 a.m. Saturday morning.”
Caveat: “Things in the Capitol always seem to go off the rails. Maybe it’s because we’ve been through the wildest 1,105 days in the modern history of Washington. Maybe it’s because Republicans have a razor-thin margin in the Senate. Maybe it’s because we’re all just skeptics and doubters by nature. Doesn’t it just seem like we are due one more twist in this trial?”
The Murkowski Wildcard
January 31, 2020 at 7:21 am EST
If Sen. Lisa Murkowski decides to jump ship and vote with Susan Collins and Mitt Romney to allow new witnesses in the impeachment trial, Democrats still lack the votes they need since a 50-50 tie would mean the witness motion has failed without a majority.
However, the Washington Post says “uncertainty remains surrounding what could happen if there is a 50-50 tie on the motion to hear more evidence, a vote that will occur Friday evening. Republicans have been warily eyeing Chief Justice John Roberts, hoping he would not weigh in to break a tie if three GOP senators side with Democrats on the effort.”
WHY ARE THEY HOPING THAT? BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS WHAT HE SHOULD DECIDE--THAT "A REAL TRIAL DEMANDS WITNESSES"?

Romney Will Vote for New Impeachment Witnesses
January 31, 2020 at 9:18 am EST Comments
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) confirmed he will vote on Friday to allow additional witnesses and documents in President Trump’s impeachment trial, The Hill reports.
He joins Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) as the only Republicans backing the motion. Sen. Lisa Murkowski is still undecided.
No they're not. 2019 family farm relief act was set up to help them restructure and reorganize their debt. It raised the debt limit to $10M.

WHY ARE THEY HOPING THAT? BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS WHAT HE SHOULD DECIDE--THAT "A REAL TRIAL DEMANDS WITNESSES"?
What sort of idiot believes that a "real trial" runs this way?
A real trial requires the Prosecution to come into the trial with a complete witness list, all relative information in hand, and would have already offered the Defense team full disclosure and access to all witnesses.
New witnesses (not part of the vetted original witness list that the defense has already had a chance to interview) are almost never allowed in a trial, unless the Prosecution were not aware of them, something comes up from the defense that requires a rebuttal witness, or there is "new information".
(and no, an unsubstantiated NYT leak is not a legal reason for a witness that the prosecution failed to interview to be brought up at a trial, not just for a fishing expedition).
The House managers literally wanted to continue to do their prosecutorial research during the Senate trial, introduce new evidence, new witnesses, and new information that had not already been disclosed to the defense.
It's almost as if Democrats see our system of due process as "unfair" to prosecutors because it requires them to play fair and provides the defendant a legitimate chance to defend himself.
So far the President has not called a single witness in his defense, and Democrats appear against pretty much everyone on his list (because it would be unfair because it would undercut their central argument).
They would have you believe that a defendant who wants to put up an actual defense looks "guilty" for doing so.
This is the way that third world countries prosecute their political opponents... not the way the United States prosecutes our duly elected President.

No, Ch. Denial of evidence is always proof of a cover up!
The House Democrats had all the time in the world to create their case, they interviewed 18 witnesses, said that was good enough, and voted to take their evidence to the Senate for trial.
It's not a defendant's job to make sure that the prosecution is fully prepared "before" trial, nor is it the defendant's job to provide the prosecution with the opportunity to go fishing for more evidence, when they come to trial with no case.
Had this been a real trial, Reverend Hypocrite, the Judge likely would have tossed it for lack of any real crime. The Judge would have allowed almost none (if any) of the witnesses because they provided little more than political commentary on the situation (rather than any evidence of a crime). A Judge would never allow a new witness (that prosecution knew about and failed to look into during investigation) simply because they now "want" them to testify.
The reality, Reverend Hypocrite, is that this was all designed by the Democrats for political theater. However the GOP, Trump defense, and Justice Roberts are treating it like a trial.
Nobody is dumb enough to conclude that calling new witnesses is going to change someone's mind (which would be the only reason a Judge would ever allow new witnesses in a trial). But Democrats wanted to manipulate the political nature of the situation by drawing it out with a new "made for television" witness 100% for political purposes.
Seriously Reverend Hypocrite... do you think that ANYONE really believes that new witnesses would make a difference and that what Pelosi and Democrats are saying is ACTUALLY something other than sore loser political rhetoric?
We can cite poll after poll... and guess what. The public was in favor of hearing from Hunter Biden and Joe Biden too as well as the whistle blower... and I am quite certain it has nothing to do with the innocence or guilt of the President.
What sort of idiot believes that a "real trial" runs this way?

Yes, Trump’s Acquittal Is Real, And It’s Spectacular
The most amazing thing about Democrats and their allies in the media is that they never actually lose. Any time it seems like they lose, it’s actually the result of cheating and chicanery.
Hillary Clinton didn’t lose 2016, the Russians interfered and the Electoral College is racist. Stacy Abrams didn’t lose in Georgia, the election was stolen. And sure enough, the calls have already come out to say that House Democrats aren’t really going to lose the impeachment trial, because without additional witnesses the trial isn’t legitimate and the acquittal isn’t real.
Not this time. Mitch McConnell, President Trump’s legal team, and the GOP made fools of the Democrats and drank their milkshake. But this will not stop the aggrieved cackling heads from claiming this is all somehow fake. Take a gander at the sad-sack gaslighting below. (continues)

THEY WERE NOT PERMITTED TO BY THE WHITE HOUSE; THEY WERE OBSTRUCTED FROM INTERVIEWING THAT WITNESS BY THE FRIGHTENED PRESIDENT
And here I thought that Democrats would do in this hearing what congress did in the Nixon hearings when he declared executive privilege... and go to court!
I also thought that it was their job to get those rulings because there is quite literally no difference between a House subpoena and a Senate subpoena. There is no logical reason (or any reason what-so-ever) to believe that you can do something at trial that you were unable to do in the hearings...
Did you get the impression that privilege only applies in hearings and not trials? Can you explain where you got that logic?
In fact... the hearings is when this is "supposed" to happen, because who wants to start a Senate Trial and THEN go through the subpoena argument through the courts... thus interrupting a trial?
The fight for witnesses was entirely up to the House (who are under no time restraints for their impeachment investigation and hearings). Such witness fights were never designed to go through the Senate.

ROFLMFAO !!!
To be perfectly clear... the White House would have gone to court to block Bolton from testifying (because of privilege and classified information). The fact that is book supposedly contains classified information (some of it top secret) that he claims isn't classified is proof positive that Bolton doesn't know the difference and could not be trusted on a public witness stand.
Such a lawsuit would likely have to be heard by the USSC and could take weeks (or even months) to complete...
all for what?
To get another Anti-Trumper on a witness stand to criticize foreign policy decisions?
C.H. Truth said...

Morning Greatness: Nadler Speed Waddles to Podium to Steal Schiff’s Closing Impeachment Limelight
Poor, broken House Manager Adam Schiff. His comrade Rep. Jerry Nadler did a speed waddle up to the podium to answer the last question of the night during the impeachment hearing.
“Jerry. Jerry. Jerry,” Schiff is heard saying as he took a few steps towards Nadler, but failed to stop him. One can only imagine how many hours Schiff rehearsed his final remarks which would include tears and hallucinations, I’m sure. Alas, it was not to be.

GREATEST ENDING to a Seinfeld episode EVER !!!
*** STANDING OVATION ***
By Tim McLaughlin
BOSTON (Reuters) - In his first address to the U.S. Congress, President Donald Trump hailed General Motors Co , Harley-Davidson Inc , Intel Corp and seven other companies as innovators and job creators, predicting they would be among those producing "tens of thousands of new American jobs" and investing "billions and billions of dollars."
Nearly three years later, with unemployment at the lowest in half a century, that first presidential portfolio has stumbled to fulfill that forecast. While Trump's 10 companies have spent billions on new factories and upgrades, they failed to keep pace with new hires, according to a Reuters analysis of the group's capital expenditures and headcount since 2017.
Collective employment at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV , Ford Motor Co , GM, Harley, Intel, Lockheed Martin Corp , Sprint Corp , Walmart Inc and small biotech Amicus Therapeutics has remained flat at about 2 million workers, the analysis shows. In the same period, total U.S. employment has risen by 4.5%.

They were not fishing for evidence when the NYT story appeared, citing things one of the witnesses they had requested allegedly said.
A NYT leak of a book manuscript is not new information in any legal sense of the word... it's gossip. What? Third, fourth hand hearsay? Maybe?
I mean, seriously? If you don't get that the NYT leak was a strategic "political" leak rather than a legal maneuver, then you truly don't get the difference between politics and a trial.
And no, Reverend Hypocrite, neither the President, the GOP Senate, the President's defense team, or Justice Roberts are required to treat the Senate Trial like political theater, just because the Democrats and their media cronies believe impeachment to be "political". They can only define how THEY want to treat it. They cannot force anyone else to do so.
Nearly three years later, with unemployment at the lowest in half a century, that first presidential portfolio has stumbled to fulfill that forecast.

It's a manuscript purportedly written by someone who says he was actually there and participated in the questioned activities and thus has FIRST hand knowledge, not "gossip or second or third or fourth hand hearsay."
And polling indicates that around 70 to 80 per cent of our people think more evidence should be considered.

SPINELESS REPUBLICANS refuse to Defy Trump AGAIN
January 31, 2020 at 10:58 am EST
John Harwood:
“Republican hopes of blocking former national security adviser John Bolton’s impeachment testimony highlight the Trump-era GOP’s defining characteristic: its refusal to defy the President under ALMOST ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.”
“President Trump’s vituperative attacks, regularly trained on critics through his vast social media following, make every Republican politician wary of crossing him. But that represents the lesser factor in the party’s fealty.
“More significantly, decades of American political realignment have tightened the bonds holding Republicans together in any high-stakes fight with Democrats. The ongoing diversification of American society further unites an overwhelmingly white GOP around a shared fear of impending doom.”
IOW, a well deserved doom is on it's way.
its way.
(Even Lincoln sometimes made that mistake.)
President Trump tweets a video of a Radio Free Europe interview with then-National Security Adviser John Bolton describing President Trump's call with Ukraine President Zelensky as cordial.
"I will be meeting President Zelensky. He and President Trump have already spoken twice. The president called to congratulate President Zelensky on his election and on his success in the parliamentary election," Bolton said in August 2019.
"They were very warm and cordial calls," Bolton said. "We’re hoping they’ll be able to meet in Warsaw for a few minutes together, because the success of Ukraine, maintaining its free, its system of representative government, a free-market economy, a free of corruption, and dealing with the problems of the Danbass in the Crimea are high priorities here, obviously, but high priorities for the United States, as well."
It should be GAME OVER Bolton impeaches himself
except for rabid TDS dem's and political_losers
It's a manuscript purportedly written by someone who says he was actually there and participated in the questioned activities and thus has FIRST hand knowledge, not "gossip or second or third or fourth hand hearsay."
It's a second or third hand leak of what an unidentified person claims to be in a book, that was authored by a writer for the NYT with a history of writing things (based on anonymous sources) that turn out to be untrue.
And polling indicates that around 70 to 80 per cent of our people think more evidence should be considered.
Well there you go... I am sure that a Judge at a trial is always going to take a poll before they make a legal decision!
You lost Reverend Hypocrite!
And the public isn't going to give a bigger shit about witnesses or that the Democrats demanded things didn't go their own way.
Trump's approvals are at near all time highs, and they will probably go up when the "Acquittal Headlines" start surfacing!
To be clear... the "leaked" story in the NYT was authored by Maggie Haberman (known for almost exclusively being wrong with her inside information)...

Impeachment Trial Could Extend Into Next Week
January 31, 2020 at 11:45 am EST
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) suggested President Trump’s impeachment trial may extend beyond tonight, even if the vote on witnesses fails, Fox News reports.
Said Cornyn: “My guess is it probably is going to carry over to the first part of next week.”
A Trump administration official echoed that prediction to the Washington Post raising the possibility that the Senate “could take up a new procedural resolution laying out rules for the trial’s endgame — which could include time for closing arguments, private deliberations and public speeches by senators.
“The Senate passed such a supplemental resolution in the middle of the 1999 impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton.”
Trump told Bolton to call the President of Ukraine. He refused to make the call. In May!
WASHINGTON — More than two months before he asked Ukraine’s president to investigate his political opponents, President Trump directed John R. Bolton, then his national security adviser, to help with his pressure campaign to extract damaging information on Democrats from Ukrainian officials, according to an unpublished manuscript by Mr. Bolton.
Mr. Trump gave the instruction, Mr. Bolton wrote, during an Oval Office conversation in early May that included the acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, the president’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani and the White House counsel, Pat A. Cipollone, who is now leading the president’s impeachment defense.
Mr. Trump told Mr. Bolton to call Volodymyr Zelensky, who had recently won election as president of Ukraine, to ensure Mr. Zelensky would meet with Mr. Giuliani, who was planning a trip to Ukraine to discuss the investigations that the president sought, in Mr. Bolton’s account. Mr. Bolton never made the call, he wrote.
The previously undisclosed directive that Mr. Bolton describes would be the earliest known instance of Mr. Trump seeking to harness the power of the United States government to advance his pressure campaign against Ukraine, as he later did on the July call with Mr. Zelensky that triggered a whistle-blower complaint and impeachment proceedings. House Democrats have accused him of abusing his authority and are arguing their case before senators in the impeachment trial of Mr. Trump, whose lawyers have said he did nothing wrong.
Ok, so.

"White House candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has taken a slight lead over former Vice President and presumed frontrunner Joe Biden for the first time, according to a newly-released nationwide poll.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal surveystates Sanders is now in first place with 27 percent support among Democrat primary voters, and Biden has dropped to second place at 26 percent. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), whose poll numbers have steadily declined in recent months, placed third with 15 percent, six more points ahead of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who garnered nine percent. In fifth place came former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg with seven percent approval, while Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) placed sixth at five percent.

Trump Told Bolton to Help His Ukraine Pressure Campaign
January 31, 2020 at 12:14 pm EST
“More than two months before he asked Ukraine’s president to investigate his political opponents, President Trump directed John Bolton, then his national security adviser, to help with his pressure campaign to extract damaging information on Democrats from Ukrainian officials,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Trump gave the instruction, Mr. Bolton wrote, during an Oval Office conversation in early May that included
the acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney,
the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and
the White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, who is now leading the president’s impeachment defense.
“The previously undisclosed directive that Mr. Bolton describes would be the earliest known instance of Mr. Trump seeking to harness the power of the United States government to advance his pressure campaign against Ukraine.”
________________
Does that list several witnesses we need to hear from under oath?
former National Security Council aide, Fiona Hill, who had said that Mr. Bolton warned that Mr. Giuliani was “a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up.”

Trump Told Bolton to Help His Ukraine Pressure Campaign in May
more haberman bullshit
The Three Socialist Stooges of CHT are on a roll.
Btw....
In case the three stooges have already forgotten...
and need to be reminded...
Republicans are voting against impeachment because the allegations against the President do not rise to the level of an impeachable offense (even if they were true).
Love how the three of you get into such a tizzy at the "leaks" surrounding things that really don't matter.
Now I could argue that Bolton being asked to tell someone to meet with someone else is a long ways away from proving anything regarding quid pro quo. Even more silly is the idea that Bolton says he didn't do it anyways, which makes the entire thing a moot point.
I am curious (and it will be fun and amusing to watch) just how long the liberal media spends licking their collective wounds and refusing to let this go... I suspect that they will be kicking this dead horse around till they can come up with the "next" bombshell event that will bring down the President!
Better hurry, though... otherwise he just might be reelected!
Jane and Alky, you stated Farmers and Ranchers are losing their lands at a record pace, what makes you believe that to be true?
As more and more evidence comes out it will become more and more evident to everyone that, as Murkowsky said, Congress has failed to acomplish justice.
It will become ever more clear that
Trump is GUILTY AS HELL.
piss off weirdo
