To every Senator:
We need the White House to produce these documents for a fair Senate impeachment trial.

At NY presser, Schumer warns at the very minimum, we will require votes from all of the senators on each of the witnesses, and each set of documents. I dont think any of our colleagues will vote to withhold evidence in such an important trial.

Impeachment of a president is a serious undertaking.
The Senates role is to act as an impartial jury and provide a fair trial.
Fair to the President and to the American people.
That means seeing all the evidence, documents and witnesses.
What is McConnell is afraid of?

Except the truth to come out.
"I don't think any of our colleagues will vote to withhold evidence in such an important trial."
Watch'em. I don't think that rethug senators have any more independence of thought or action than agent orange's fingers.

"I dont think any of our colleagues will vote to withhold evidence in such an important trial.
Hasn't he been paying attention for the past 10 years??

(42,334 posts)10. He's baiting them, surely you can see that?
He's letting them know they will have to go on public record voting against bringing forth witnesses and documents. How do you think the vulnerable R senators are going to feel about that? Knowing that every nay vote will be a campaign commercial.

Ah, everyone here knows exactly what mcturtle, and every other repug is a afraid of.
They fear the truth.
I say, let's drag them, kicking and screaming, into the land of facts and truth.
To hell with them. I will always be on the side of facts and truth.
