I called @Toomey this morning. I expressly stated we wanted #WitnessesAndDocuments . So what do you do? You request the Bidens are called. What a ridiculous stand. We all know the Bidens have no relevance to these hearings. Maybe you could try
listening to the facts instead of worrying about how much candy you need to supply. Now, so you think you can request FACT WITNESSES and act like a Senator and do what we pay you to do?

Dear @SenateGOP,
What will be your excuse for refusing to call John Bolton as a witness?
The #Coverup will fail⤵️so why bother trying?
I think it's time for the entire party to come clean, don't you?

@SenateGOP The House Managers weigh on in the Bolton news:
It’s so disturbing that the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee learned about Russia’s Fancy Bear hack into Burisma by reading it in @nytimes. @RepAdamSchiff telling @maddow it would be good if both parties would condemn the Russian effort to interfere in our election.
It’s a huge news night for Rachel. Now she has @SenSchumer on saying he is more optimistic than he has been in the three weeks he has been asking for #WitnessesAndDocuments - he thinks it is gaining momentum throughout the country and in the Senate. She went there-
She asked Chuck his reaction to Trump retweeting a photo of him in a turban and Nancy Pelosi in a head scarf. Chuck said it just shows how low Trump goes. And why it is important to have a war powers act passed in the Senate. Because, he said, Trump is erratic and impulsive.
(Thread) Pelosi is playing a long game.
Watching Pelosi and McConnell maneuver is like watching a board game when we can't see the board.
OK, so. Last week, Pelosi said she wanted to see McConnell's resolution⤵️before sending the Articles to the Senate.

2/ She warned that if the Senate conducts a sham trial, they’ll pay the price later.
She also accused McConnell of engaging in a coverup in signing that Resolution.
Those are fighting words.

(Thread) Buckle up: The Senate Trial is Coming
Pelosi is prepared to introduce a resolution next week to appoint managers and transmit Articles of Impeachment to the Senate.
If you want to know her strategy and goal these past few weeks, Schumer laid it all out.

1/ "I understand why McConnell is so frustrated,” Schumer said.
"If the Speaker had sent the Article of Impeachment over to the Senate immediately. . . Senate Republicans could have moved to dismiss the articles. There was a lot of talk about that. . ."

2/ “There wouldn’t have even been a cursory trial," Schumer said. "They might even have tried to dismiss the whole articles before Christmas.”
Instead, over the past few weeks, McConnell was prevented from doing that.
