(63,977 posts)no ordinary administration these are thugs, period and a massive cover up. McConnell and many more need to be held accountable.
Not one person who was subpoena or asked to provide documents did not.

(130,122 posts)looking for info on Biden and that they are intending to interfere in our 2020 election. What recourse is there if the President is acquitted, who has carried out a statutory crime based on the Dershowitz theory?

(130,122 posts)This has happened for 15 other impeachments - all of heard witnesses. Including those who did not testify in the House but testified in the Senate.
And re: Trey Gowdy claimed the WH didn't cooperate. But they turned over 10s of thousands of documents and witnesses appeared including Petraus, Rice, Mike Mullen, Panetta, Flynn, Clinton - testified for 11 hours. etc.
But here - no documents, no witnesses, no cooperation, no reasonable accommodation, blanket defiance.
Cannot normalize lawfulness, corruption, abuse of power.

(36,240 posts)The American public's best interests are never to be decided by the president, but by the American public.
Through the First Branch, The People's House.
Through an honest, fair trial in the Senate.
Through an honest 2020 election.
Yes. We. Can. Forever.
Case closed.

(130,122 posts)about who would do the closing and Nadler overrode and took it rather than Schiff.
Hermit-The-Prog
(33,596 posts)BumRushDaShow
(130,122 posts)traditionally the Judiciary Committee is the lead and that is Nadler. But as we know, Nadler has been dealing with his wife's illness so it worked out that Schiff could do that "lead" part - and with the other Managers who were amazing in their own right, they put on an amazing presentation, with Nadler doing the final remarks on behalf of the Judiciary Commitee.

(33,596 posts)crickets
(25,995 posts)Given how many amazing speeches Shiff gave today, Nadler was just fine. Good for him. That was odd, though.

(55,032 posts)I was intermittent in the car radio since the dinner break and had a meeting until just about the last 3 or 4 questions, so rather than watch recordings with a lot of repeat of what I caught in the car the last 3 threads caught me up pretty good. MUCH GRASS!!
