A trial without witnesses is like a democracy without voting.
Rs may have found that "Soviet" style trial they were looking for.
Outrage over what Rs trying to do here must get very very loud.

@ShuttleCDRKelly @Hickenlooper @GreenfieldIowa @SaraGideon @CalforNC @harrisonjaime 3/So, Senate Rs, if we are going to invoke the 1998 Clinton Impeachment precedent, a reminder that in that investigation the President of the United States testified under oath, as did his staff.
Should be the standard here too.

@ShuttleCDRKelly @Hickenlooper @GreenfieldIowa @SaraGideon @CalforNC @harrisonjaime 4/The arguments the Republicans are making about the upcoming trial are among the most ridiculous we've heard in recent memory.
We need to blow them to pieces in the coming days. They are an insult to our democracy, and as great a betrayal as anything the President has done.

@ShuttleCDRKelly @Hickenlooper @GreenfieldIowa @SaraGideon @CalforNC @harrisonjaime 5/Reminder - reason House took up Trump Ukraine investigation was due to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, a senior intelligence official, declaring Trump's activities an "urgent concern;" was urgent enough that top CIA lawyer referred Trump for prosecution.
@ShuttleCDRKelly @Hickenlooper @GreenfieldIowa @SaraGideon @CalforNC @harrisonjaime 6/Functionally, declaration of "urgent concern" abt the President's actions involving Ukraine are not different fr the justification for assassinating Soleimani. Both were considered threats to our national security.
WH/GOP can't have it both ways on urgent intel matters.

@ShuttleCDRKelly @Hickenlooper @GreenfieldIowa @SaraGideon @CalforNC @harrisonjaime 7/Let's call the need to have witnesses to get to the truth in an Impeachment trial "the Graham rule."
@ShuttleCDRKelly @Hickenlooper @GreenfieldIowa @SaraGideon @CalforNC @harrisonjaime 8/This new poll is powerful stuff. It is just stunning how badly Trump and the Rs are losing the big arguments about Impeachment - and for good reason. Their arguments are ridiculous.
