The Impeachment Trial of our President Trump has begun!!! How long do you think it will last???? If I was Senators running for President,right now I would be really pissed off at Pelosi!!!! Just think they have to be there for weeks!! 6days/week,8 hrs /day!!! They have to be present,no phone calls ,no talking!!! And Iowa Caucasus starts in 3 weeks or so!!! If I were Sanders, Warren I would be extremely upset!!!! What do you guys think???

It's their job-----they have to perform their job first.

Yes,I understand!! My point is Pelosi held to these Articles of Impeachment until the last minute and what did Ithe accomplished??? Nothing!! It's still a as partisan as it could be!!!

Pariahjf

I am not making any conclusions for either side until I hear what is presented.

I think they should be required to recuse themselves. After all, they are running campaigns for the Presidency ... and he is a formidable opponent ... which means they have something to gain if he is ousted. And how could that not affect their v**es? In fact, if they v**e against Trump, they should be impeached.

It would also mess with the DNC/House plans to screw those same senators .... especially bernie ... if, in fact, the house dems were delaying this in an effort to harm these Senators' campaigns and give biden an big advantage in the primary ... which I believe to be the case.

I think I want to see a real trial, real evidence addressed in a way that did not happen during the impeachment investigation. Now the case gets made and the kind of grandstanding every single republican did instead of asking a single question that had anything to do with delving into the t***h of what anyone was saying will not be happening. Facts will have to be rebutted or responded to or left on the table as facts. The prosecution presents facts, and the defense either refutes them or leaves them on the table as facts.

And by the way, the defense wanted their star media lawyers from FOX, Victoria and DeGenova, they took torpedoes from Parnas as part of the "team" pressuring the Ukraine for information on Biden, I'm thinking they will not be there to run their spin over to FOX at the end of the day's trial.

I think the trump team is taking on so much water that the rats will start jumping from the ship, many many already have. Watch the second Parnas interview on Rachel tonight (Thursday), Barr might be getting some attention. You won't be able to intelligently discuss this if you don't listen to what's being said for yourself.

Are you aware of the difference not only in public opinion, but how much more information has come out since impeachment was v**ed on? This is changing McConnell's responses. Had Dems turned this right over before the holidays, McConnell would have held a v**e to dismiss and might have gotten it.

Pelosi is stupid!! If she thinks all this new information would help their case,than why she didn't wait for this info before she hurried these Articles of Impeachment for the v**e in the House???

It allowed more damning evidence to surface and gives reason for four reasonable Republican Senators to v**e to allow witnesses. The p**********l candidates will have time mornings and weekends to campaign and can use the air time they are bound to get to denounce the I***t Pumpkinfuhrer’s crimes.

The P**********l candidates have to be there 6 days a week !! Which means Monday through Saturday!!! For 8 hrs a day!!!

Kevyn

The trial begins at one in the afternoon, plenty of time to jet to Iowa at night and return in the morning. Roberts will limit the duration so he can continue to hear oral arguments at his day job and insuring McConnell can’t rig the thing to screw the candidates. Trump will look like the Golgothan by the time this is over.

Here's one you won't hear spoke of much; if they remove Trump by hook or crook, who is the GOP nominee??

Pariahjf

Hopefully someone that's reasonable and has respect for other people.

proud republican Loc: RED CALIFORNIA

Isn't going to be Mike Pence???

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

I don't know how that works.
