According to House Democrats, President Donald Trump was such an urgent threat that he needed be impeached with all haste, without witnesses the Democrats are now claiming they want, without waiting for the Courts’ decisions on pending subpoenas, without giving the Republicans the ability to call any fact witnesses to shoot holes in the already weak case. But then they decided to sit on the articles and play hide and seek with them, claiming they wanted a “fair trial” from the Senate and using that as an argument for calling the witnesses they couldn’t be bothered to wait for during the House proceedings.

True but McConnell is a weak coward and is actually listening to the Democrats complaints and negotiating with them,such a pansy.

Well, I want to see a trial. I want to see Adam Schiff under Oath use the 5th Amendment for every question about the whistleblower. I want to see Eric Ciarmarella do the same,,,,Hunter Biden, JOe Biden, everyone whom the Repubs can humiliate on the stand under Oath. I want ot see every so-called 'expert' the Dems called in the House, when being questioned about their 'opinions' by the Dem impeachment lawyer, interrupted by the Repbub lawyer calling OBJECTION! TESTIMONY IS HEARSAY! And Justice Roberts OBJECTION SUSTAINED. Yes I want to see this trial-right up until Nov 2020.

Here is an idea. Give them the trial they want. But as Pelosi set the rules of impeachment, the Senate should set the procedure of the trial. After step 1 - The (Pelosi designated) House managers present their case, Introduce a step 1 A. A House minority designated representative (Jim Jordan or such) should be given an opportunity to explain why not one single member of the minority voted for any of the three votes involved (i) Order impeachment inquiry (ii) Vote articles of impeachment (iii) Impeachment.

If the Senate does not end this sham now, if will linger through the 2020 elections. The rabid Left created this one-trick pony with a broken leg, and it is too lame to make it to the Senate. Shoot it now, and put it, and America, out of its misery.

Option #4 is somewhat interesting. Holding the trial after the November 2020 election probably would cause the dimocrats to go to the U.S. Supreme Court immediately,, and I don't know what Chief Judas John Roberts and the leftist cabal of the three leftist witches and Breyer would do.
It was a Roberts court that issued a decree that congress had to be in recess for at least 10 days before it could be considered a recess under the constitution, for recess appointments by the president.
Option #4 would also leave a cloud over DJT's head, but that is the purpose of dimocrat actions anyway. And if the Senate votes to acquit, the dimocrats are already saying they will bring new charges, or add to the existing charges.
My one hope is that if the dimocrats bring back the lesbian law professor, Kaplan, who sported the herpes lesion in her last appearance, that she use some oral medication on the lesion, and avoid cunnilingus with her lesbian partner, Viola, until she clears up. (But even that is not necessarily safe, since herpes can be transmitted when the person is symptom free.)
Just one more thing - I really don't understand the hatred by some of you people towards McConnell. He has done a remarkably good jopb in moving judicial nominees through confirmation. Had he not gone nuclear, DJT would have been stymied in his reformation of the federal judiciary - which will be his legacy. McConnell navigated troubled Senate waters to help DJT do that.
Let us give credit when credit is due.

Yes, in the world of logic and reason, a trial with rules set by the Senate that seems the right thing to do.
The HUGE error in this thinking is failure to consider that the Demos have the MEDIA on their side. It doesn't matter one hoot whether or not a trial would expose Biden or a hundred corrupt Demos. Once they have their toe in the door, the Demos can count on the media to hysterically report lies, untruths, distortions 24/7. They won't hesitate to bring out every single Ballsy-Ford type they can pay, uh, find.
We can cry "that wasn't in the trial" or "that's simply not factual" til the cows come home, but the MEDIA will turn anything the Republican Senators do inside out. They won't stop until Trump is removed from office.
The Pubbies have shown they are vulnerable to intense media pressure and they end up caving. In an orderly, rule-driven venue this impeachment/coup would be bad enough. But the MEDIA is the real danger to Trump here. If McConnell agrees to a trial of ANY sort with ANY rules, he is opening the door to a disaster---spelled M-E-D-I-A.

Mr. Schumer, we will now hear from the Hearsay Non-Whistleblower Whistleblower. Sir can you tell us why your complaint that was prepared by a lawyer and bares no resemblance to the actual phone transcript. Who put you up to this? Did Mr. Schiff tell you that the President would no way release the transcript? Before you answer sir we have just been informed that 10 indictments have just been handed down and your name was mentioned. Anybody seen Mr. Schiff and Nadler?
Those AOI will never see the light of day in the Senate because that is checkmate for left. Remember what happened to Doyle Lonigan in the Sting. That kind of hate being displayed is the poison that will destroy these traitors.
The scope of the crimes committed against the Republic are so egregious and mounting on all 3 branches including the Judiciary as witnessed by the belligerent incompetence of the FISC and head Judge Collyer, that only a non-partisan Military Commission minus any involvement of the civilian participation accomplices can thoroughly clean out the Swamp Sewer including the involvement of the Pentagon and the Press profession. The boards of directors of these news organization will be held liable for weaponizing the 1st Amendment and many will cry for mercy. an't wait for the Joy Reid, Nicole Wallace, Don Lemon Rachel Madcow, Brian Stelter and the rest of the dirtbags. Acosta will disappear. The Mueller team must be getting nervous. Oh Roberto about your testimony, we need to talk about Weissman and Rhee.
It is a thousand times deeper than the nation knows. What happened to Seth Rich??????
The brilliant Nancy Pelosi, we are told, has led her Party into the trap the President has led her and now the real evidence will cut her party's seditious finger off.
