Pelosi should go nuclear now, declare there's no congressional certification of any Trump victory later this year without witness's even though that would be hard seeing Pence is running the senate.
Your take?

Being able to ask Biden about his shoe size and what he was doing in Ukraine around the time his son was working at some company should be out as questions.

(62,448 posts)I would assume they would be liable to be charged with perjury and obstruction?
Not too sure I would want to be a witness for Trump under those circumstances. Shouldn't be too hard to prove one of Trump's witnesses is lying.

(1,856 posts)I wonder what the call logs are telling them? Ive called every day. Both of them. Ive never called my senator before. Im going to call every day until this is over. Lindsey doesnt care, hes been there long enough that he knows how short the publics memory is. In that respect hell only fold if hes not leading the way. But some of these other more junior senators.....
I think the cancellation of todays impeachment briefing could be from a couple of sources, it could be marching orders from the top, where the last intelligent person has figured out this strategy they have zeroed in on isnt going to net them exactly what they want. Or what if the call logs are blowing up in a nuclear way? Thats the only other thing that would get these idiots attention.
I have to think that after 3 years, all but he most die hard magats are about ready to abandon ship. I know theres 20% that are just racist, intolerant, and all that, but anyone thats paid any attention during this impeachment trial and is reasonable and sane is going to come down on our side of the argument. If thats true, and if those people are calling their senators in significant numbers, that kind of a public groundswell would be the only thing that would garner the senates attention, even for a moment.
But thats if the numbers are large enough. We need to keep calling, especially through the defense case presentation.
Every. Damned. Day.
Call.

(57,600 posts)Another unforced error.
Whats remarkable about this tweet thread by President Trump responding to specific allegations in #BoltonBook:
These statements by Trump may constitute a WAIVER of executive privilege!
Cant publicly discuss the info, and then say @AmbJohnBolton cant.

(1,584 posts)And they can what about right back at them. Why should they honor a subpoena if the administration doesnt? Just fight it in court and point out why impeachment article two is so important by setting a precedent.
