telling the American people they don't want to see anything. They don't want to hear anything. And in doing so, you're complicit in a cover-up."

Thanks for saying it clearly, Senator Van Hollen.

repeat often and loudly!

... by saying that the Senators don't want we, the citizens, to see and hear the evidence. I think the Senators know what the evidence is and that it's damning. If we learn what they already know the Repubs are sunk for good.

But what's the better option? They know that he's going to be "acquited"... so the best they can do is stain those republicans who are vulnerable to being stained.

Those are the words that frame the issue cleanly. The Administration wants a show trial. No witnesses and no ability to follow the evidence is a show trial. McConnell and Graham promise their oaths for the proceedings will be ignored and they will run it to get the outcome Dear Leader demands, it's a show trial. Looking at Russian disinformation instead of what the Con actually did, is a show trial. Anything less than a fair hearing, with relevant witnesses and evidence, and the Senate acting with independence, is a show trial.

trump is still IMPEACHED. And NOTHING will ever erase that stain.

Wear it trumpie. You got it the old fashioned way . . . you EARNED it.

that fulfills that pre-ordained acquittal breaks their oaths of office and makes all acquitters a conspiracy to obstruct justice.

They can drag their feet, put together a fake trial plan and rules, but the evidence is clear now.

All who follow McConnell's lead are impeachable, likely for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Senate henchmen should all be thankful that Speaker Pelosi is saving their jobs.
