You know what would be cool? If we could have witnesses on this! Drunken Irishman Feb 2021 #1
What a novel idea, right? Nevilledog Feb 2021 #4
This is hearsay. That's why we needed witnesses. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2021 #2
Be careful. You'll get your post hidden if you don't agree that forgoing witnesses was 1,000% a win. Drunken Irishman Feb 2021 #3
This is a PM I sent DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2021 #6

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.
