Be careful. You'll get your post hidden if you don't agree that forgoing witnesses was 1,000% a win.

The MAGATS were never going to convict their GOD-EMPEROR. That was never the point of the trial. The goal of the trial was to dirty up Trump and his supporters and separate them from everybody else. Witnesses would have served that goal.
Everybody at DU was elated when they thought witnesses would be called until they weren't.
I used to argue these things here but it changes nothing.
