Trump might be happy or faking it...but the GOP didn't get to waste our time so they are not happy. Demsrule86 Feb 2021 #79

The more evidence, the more conviction in the minds of people and in historical analysis. Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2021 #41

Exactly. Well put! KPN Feb 2021 #58

Just because people aren't watching the trial doesn't mean they Dark n Stormy Knight Feb 2021 #85

Maybe not - in the Senate. BUT, I'm thinking we have to look at the effect this will have PatrickforO Feb 2021 #62

Most won't watch it nor will they care...now if they don't get their money...that will be what they Demsrule86 Feb 2021 #69

Reading down the list, Collins, Romney and Murkowsky voted for witnesses. That makes 53.... George II Feb 2021 #9

Lindsey just changed his mind, voted yes!:) True Blue American Feb 2021 #28

Lindsay changes his mind more often than I change my underwear. llmart Feb 2021 #60

It just passed 55-45 StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #14

Collins, murkowsli and Romney say YES KewlKat Feb 2021 #7

Witnesses approved - heard 54 yays - now added Graham as 55. BumRushDaShow Feb 2021 #11

I got Collins, Murkowski, Romney, and Graham - who was the 5th Republican? StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #15

Sasse I think? BumRushDaShow Feb 2021 #16

Now ask yourself why are they voting for witnesses? Demsrule86 Feb 2021 #73

The only oddball GOP one - after the fact - was Graham BumRushDaShow Feb 2021 #75

I call him BumRushDaShow Feb 2021 #81

Thanks for the info. I just sent him a contribution RVN VET71 Feb 2021 #86

For that seat BumRushDaShow Feb 2021 #88

Now Graham has changed to aye. George II Feb 2021 #12

witnesses at a trial? KayF Feb 2021 #13

They requested Herrerra Butler and her notes, not McCarthy. StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #18

Oh, I thought I heard Raskin say McCarthy's notes, too. It happened so fast. George II Feb 2021 #21

I replayed it to be sure. He was referring to Herrera-Butler StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #23

That hostility might work in the managers' favour, at least in a PR way. BobTheSubgenius Feb 2021 #51

"Hostile witness" does mean they show hostility in the traditional sense StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #52

Thanks. I just saw it on C-Span too while they were getting ready to call to order again. George II Feb 2021 #54

I just heard an NPR interview with wnylib Feb 2021 #45

Yes. And the defense doesn't want McCarthy cross examined. ancianita Feb 2021 #27

That was amazing UpInArms Feb 2021 #19

He said in a tweet this morning (or late last night) that if they allow witnesses he'll tie it up... George II Feb 2021 #20

Should have known UpInArms Feb 2021 #39

Schiff says the managers can and will wnylib Feb 2021 #55

Here's why Graham changed his vote. He did so only AFTER it was already 54-46... George II Feb 2021 #22

McQARTHY is a great and unexpected bonus bucolic_frolic Feb 2021 #31

I don't think they're calling him, I misheard, they meant Beutler's notes about McCarthy. George II Feb 2021 #34

Even better bucolic_frolic Feb 2021 #36

Do you have insider information or something? Politicub Feb 2021 #47

No, I just read her multiple statements Bmoboy Feb 2021 #53

It doesn't matter here StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #50
