Here's my question: Why has not even one person yet testified under oath that the President did not do either of those two things? Meanwhile, every person who testified in the impeachment proceeding up to this point said that President Trump is guilty of the above charges and then provided evidence to back up their testimonies.
This leads to some other questions: If the President is innocent, why would the Senate not call up witnesses to support the him? Why do members of the Republican party not want to have testimony under oath that would exonerate him? More interestingly, why is the Senate restricting the press' access to the proceedings? Instead of facts from President Trump's defence team, all I have seen is rhetoric on talk shows, right-wing media editorials, and the President's own tweets (which are often notoriously either false or deliberately misleading).
Likely, because the Senate is in the control of the same party as the President, they will move to end the impeachment trial as soon as possible with as little investigation into the allegations as possible. I cannot help but wonder what they are afraid of finding ... or perhaps what they know but are afraid of letting the public find out.
I don't know. That swamp is looking pretty foggy, almost as though it's expanded rather than been drained.
