My fav part of this trial was when the entire Senate laughed at van der Veen for suggesting that the depos had to take place in his office. No, they don't, bro.

He is so out of his league. I’m sure he thought this was his golden ticket for the Apprentice: Four Seasons Lawn and Garden Edition.

How did no one notice until now?

one amazing thing about this JHB statement setting off a nuclear blast in the impeachment trial is that she had been saying this stuff in public for days and apparently nobody in DC noticed https://t.co/BaXP1KTxtChttps://t.co/RQ9cYPD69v

Good for her for speaking up because she definitely didn't have to.

I hope they call witnesses.

[skyler_white_yo]

They voted the call that one Rep. not sure if they will be able to call more. I would to see them call 45, McCarthy, Giuliani, and Cruz.

Getting all of those people would be great.

So the Rs wanna call mayor Bowser and Nancy Pelosi? That probably isn't going to go well for them. I wonder how they are going to keep this from becoming a clown show? Honestly I think they should have just voted and then had an inquiry with many witnesses later. Also, this is a criminal matter and at the end of the day that's how Trump will be held accountable. The political process was never going to do that.

They would need a simple majority, 51 senators to agree to call them
