Lisa Murkowski

Lisa is not happy that the House did not finish their job by going thru the Courts. And now have put it in the lap of the US Senate.

If that is true, should the Senate simply ignore it? Should they see no urgency in assisting the House in getting rid of the national security threat in the White House? Because the House did not complete its investigation to meet Lisa's, and some Republicans', expectations, it has put them in a very tough situation. That is understandable.

But, a vote for witnesses is not a vote to convict. Neither is it a vote to acquit. That is the uncomfortable position that the Republicans have been placed.

However, without witnesses, the people will not see this as a fair trial. They will not see Donald Trump as being acquitted of anything. They will see a cover-up.

The witnesses will give the trial legitimacy. Otherwise, it will be nothing but a failed whitewash.

When witnesses have testified, and documents analyzed, then the vote to acquit or convict should be taken.

But not until then.
