Trump’s doing more law and order bafflegab among other idiocy, as Trump is whining about not getting credit for stuff. We’ll see whether he takes questions (and flees when the questions get too tough). He’s scared, especially if you compare his presser to Biden’s earlier today, replete with complete sentences. x The president is doing another…

No Witnesses, No Peace: America Approaches Autocracy in the Arms for Dirt scandal
Nixonian reasons return, amplified by an argument massaged by Alan Dershowitz to legitimate efforts like the Watergate break-in. x “They compounded the dangerous argument they made that no quid pro quo is too much, and they compounded it by saying if what you want is targeting your rival, it's even more legitimate. And that way,…

CO-Sen: Indivisible Targets “Cover-Up” Cory Gardner (R) For Refusing More Witnesses
Received this e-mail today from the progressive group, Indivisible: Big (bad) news on impeachment: The Denver Post reported yesterday that Cory Gardner is planning to oppose subpoenaing witnesses in the impeachment trial. Our path to getting a vote for witnesses is narrowing. But he hasn’t cast his vote yet and neither have other swing-state senators, so there’s…
Claire McCaskill Is Correct: ALL Power For Calling Witnesses In Trump Trial RESTS With Republicans.
I don’t agree with former Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill on a lot of things, but she was absolutely 100% correct on this score: Republicans have all the power when it comes to calling witnesses in the sham impeachment trial of Trump. McCaskill said the Media and even Democrats are falling into this narrative trap that…
PA-Sen: PA Dems Slam Pat Toomey (R) For Trying To Limit The Number Of Impeachment Trial Witnesses
Received this e-mail today from the Pennsylvania Democratic Party: Just last night, the Washington Post reported that Pat Toomey is lobbying for a limited, partisan witness deal in which Democrats can call one witness in exchange for one called by Republicans. Calling witnesses is about hearing the whole truth, not scoring political points. Call Pat Toomey to tell…
Sen. King: 5-10 GOP Senators Will Vote to Hear Witnesses
NPR interviewed Sen. Angus King of Maine (independent, caucuses with the Democrats): Sen.

I Think Senate Democrats Need To Call Republican Bluff On Impeachment Witnesses.
Chuck “I’m no freakin’ TV referee” Todd stated that Senate Democrats and Republican each have a list of impeachment witnesses that are based upon the old MAD (mutually assured destruction) rule with nuclear weapons. Democrats want Bolton and Mulvaney and who knows else that has dirt on Trump to testify, and Republicans have a wishlist of witnesses…
There may be Senate trial witnesses due to some GOP senators possibly voting in favor
There may be witnesses in the Senate trial of the impeached POTUS* due to the possibility of four GOP senators who may vote in favor. Remember that it's about testimony (and documents), not about Bolton x Senior White House officials tell CBS News they increasingly believe that at least four Republicans, and likely more, will…
desperate Trump once wanted witnesses, now he's afraid of them and wants his case dismissed
We’ll know soon whether there will even be a Senate trial. But until then, so much that is idiotic becomes normalized. First, Trump said he wanted a trial in the Senate. Then, he said he wanted to hear from witnesses. Now, he wants the case dismissed — without either. The President is afraid of hearing…
Trump makes TV appearance, remains unhappy with fact witnesses
Fortunately, the key points got into the record and the GOP members of the Intel committee recycled the same points including multiple attempts to out the whistleblower. x Devin Nunes has two eyewitnesses to the Ukraine call testifying publicly right in front of him, but all he apparently cares about is the identity of the…
Arms for Dirt: Trump tries to harass witnesses prior to a week of testimony

Whistle-blower: “There are other witnesses to (a pattern of) disturbing conduct”
Even if a sitting POTUS* cannot be indicted, plenty of others are coming into view after the rough memo of the Trump conversation with Ukraine president Zelensky. Now that the whistle-blower complaint has reached the Congressional committees, new questions will emerge for the IC IG about the involvement of other figures like AG Barr and…
