For months Democrats have been saying the case against Trump us overwhelming, compelling, etc. If that is true, why do they need more witnesses? Why do they want to hear now from those they could have called as witnesses during the impeachment hearings? Why do they only want the witnesses they choose? The answer is the same as it always has been. They know Trump has not committed an impeachable offense and they have not proven he has. They want to prolong the Senate trial as long as possible to continue their fishing expedition and to gain an edge in this year's e******ns. It is all about their quest for power and h**e of Trump.

Yup.

Here is something I posted on another thread.

House hearing:
The House had no time limit for holding their impeachment hearing. They called many witnesses and had plenty of opportunity to call many more. They chose not to. On the other hand, the Republicans were allowed to call zero witnesses and only one Republican allowed to cross examine the Democrat witnesses IF he presented his question in advanced and had them approved, Trump was allowed to call zero witnesses and had zero chance to cross examine. Nor have the transcripts of the closed door testimonies been turned over despite the request being legally made. The House ended their hearing, drew up their articles of impeachment, and eventually handed them to the Senate.

Senate trial:
Now the House Democrats want more witnesses and more documents which they did NOT include in their case they presented to the Senate. They also protest the idea that 1) the accuser be questioned or the accused be allowed to confront his accusor. And 2) That calling the people which the initial accusation revolves around, and they are still trying to make a case of (as was clearly spelled out by multiple House managers on Tursday; is inappropriate.

There are Senate Republicans who not only do not want the House Democrats to call their additional witnesses, but who simply want a dismissal or a quick aquittal without giving a chance for exculpatory evidence or witnesses to be presented, and no confronting of the whistleblower or the Bidens. While not calling witnesses or documentation not already included in the House case is legal, it is unsatisfactory. Without Trump being given a chance to confront his accusor and the key figures of the case (Joe and H****r B***n) being heard from; this will leave a cloud over Trump's head. So I am in favor of witnesses being able to be called by the Trump legal team. Nor am I opposed to the Dems calling further witnesses beyond the case they presented so long as due process is in place with cross examination and the hearing closed door transcripts being provided to the Trump legal team.

I know some people have said they fear a bad precedent being set. I say a bad precedent was already set and it is too late to close the barn door now that the horses are loose.
