I suspect that the lawyers from each side composed nearly every question that the Senators presented to the Chief Justice.

They didn't but they should have.

It might have precluded "Lie-awatha Warren" from insulting Chief Justice Roberts with her inane "question".

Both sides have made their speeches, presented their case; and have decided that there will be no witnesses, no additional testimony. It is done.

What I find particularly telling is that they have decided to have two more days of deliberation, two more days of Kabuki theater before voting to acquit. It is no coincidence that the show will be held over until after the Iowa caucuses and the State of the Union address.

Every single thing that has happened during this entire charade has been scripted and scheduled in an effort to influence the American people. There is not one single person in the entire human population (well except maybe rinselberg) who did not know the outcome before it even started.



I feel like every one of the individuals involved in the House impeachment is in fact a witness that is on record and heard by the Senate during it's impeachment trial. Not only are those witnesses counted as being on record, but I watched Lieutenant Colonel Vidman and Jennifer Williams testify as witnesses at the House trial. Even the House Managers who had face to face discussions with the "witnesses" got to testify and ask questions.
There is absolutely no doubt, that witnesses were present, called on, on record and interviewed in the Senate Trial.
It is my opinion that to say no witnesses were at the trial is in the least inaccurate or a blatant lie.
I have to edit my post to say that I am not accusing you williegoat of lying. I was directing that comment at the media and others who's intent is to purposely miss lead, smear and discredit President Trump.

Well, duh!
No disrespect intended.....

Dems submitted testimony from 17 subjects and 28,000 pages of documents.

No witnesses, yeah......right......

I think I like the "note passing" question process. It prevents the grandstanding and time wasting. I believe that Warren would have added more words and vial hate in her tone, demeanor and body language. This would have surly stirred up her base and would no doubt have given her a platform to stump for her campaign. The note passed to a Judge to read could dull down or edit out subliminal messaging and unnecessary emotion.
The "questions only, no Hollywood theatrics" is a good thing that should be used more often.

In other words, Trump is very clean or spotless compared to the other Presidential candidates. biden is a 50's movies swamp monster and sanders is an 80's Battelle Star Galactica bad guy tyrant "cheesy character".

I wouldn't argue with you on that. DJT did get some mud on him that some voters will not forget about. What I will say is that Biden (while trying to stay out of the fray) still got notable attention, covered with mud and many folks see what he did. Some folks won't care and still support him. I read that Hunter Biden was paid $83,000/month, he attended two meetings during that "employment" (one being a fishing trip). Dad got the Prosecutor fired that was investigating his employer for corruption. It doesn't take a genius to see what was going on there.

Didn't Hunter change employers and now works in China? In another highly payed position that he is unqualified to do?
