Anybody still pushing for a "witness swap?"...



Sen Schumer knew, as most of us should have, that the whole idea of a witness swap was a ploy to get Dems to vote for Hunter Biden as a witness. Repubs don't need Dem votes to get whatever witnesses they want, from the Bidens to the local trash man.

Dems won't vote for frivolous witnesses. None of them. It's the Repubs who know if they vote for no witnesses they'll suffer in November. Now, it's getting to the point that if they vote for the wrong witnesses, they'll suffer in November.

Chuck Schumer knows what he's doing, too.

new to this game of politics? That person who is really "new to the game", came into the game, not knowing anything about the game. And it is obvious, that Donnie Trump did not study the game after he got into the present job. You would think that someone "new to the game." would spend some time studying the game.
....Not stupid Donnie, he thinks he knows it all, which just proves he is far more stupid than most of us originally thought.

It works in the business realm, especially when he's the one with deep pockets litigating against a small businessman who has to get paid to stay afloat.

He almost got away with it here, and may yet still, but in the political realm you need voters, and you need more than just your 35% base voters, especially on big issues like this that get a lot of bad press.

Is it really as simple as, "He hates the same people I hate"?

Instead of calling John Kelly as a witness, call in The Dumbest Don, Donald J. Trump. 11 hours of interrogation should be sufficient.
