The House Managers have convinced all of the Republicans it's possible to convince

37. It's not as simple as you think

They can't just "Call McCarthy."

They would have to subpoena him and give him a few days to comply and then he'll contest the subpoena and then they'll go to court and then he'll appeal and then if and when (probably atvleast a week or two from now, if not longer) a court FINALLY says he has to testify, he'll be a hostile witness, refusing to answer questions, arguing, haggling with the impeachment managers and turning this into a circus. And since we don't know what else he'll say - and neither will the managers - we have no idea whether he'll say something exculpatory about Trump that could offset anything damaging.

And let's not forget that once House managers open the door to witnesses, that allows the defense to also ask for witnesses and who knows what they'll do with that.

In other words, this could be a mess. And it wouldn't change a single vote.

Better to got to the vote and then let the House and Senate committees do their investigations and drag these guys in to testify under oath. But doing it in the impeachment process, in my view, is not the way to go.

The House managers may see and do it differently. If so, I'll be right there with them. But if I were advising them, this is the advice I would give.
