Why didn't impeachment managers call witnesses? Because Mitch McConnell had already said he would vote to acquit Trump. "That was deflating for us. We saw him as a linchpin vote," @RepSwalwell tells @mehdirhasan. "We thought it would be futile to chase uncooperative witnesses."

Did Sen. Chris Coons *really* say he wanted the impeachment trial over in time for Valentine’s Day? “I don’t want to go into what senators said or did not say,” says Rep. Eric Swalwell. As for Trump, “He’s gonna age like milk, he’s not gonna age like fine wine.”

You knew this before it even started. They were going to call Nancy and you backdown. Fang was really proud.
Thats the reason i didn't watch it. I knew what the end would B. Cowardly Republicans know Trump is facing a lot of other suits. Soo why waste their time & reputations with the Trump base.Let others do their freaking jobs.
Come on people. Pelosi’s Commission will get to the bottom of the Insurrection.The trial was just becoming redundant. Trump was guilty, everyone knew but the votes were not there.Clearly the republicans looked awful voting to acquit & will have that albatross on their necks.

All of the Republican witnesses refused to commit to testifying. The GOO was going to call dozens of witnesses that weren’t necessary and politically motivated. You’re only reporting at the surface here. Which shouldn’t be surprising, really.

@RepSwalwell is literally crapping his pants on tv, banging Chinese spies and referring to God as a woman.... AND he/him/they (🤣🤣) is running impeachment and house committees ???? Lolol
They didn't call witnesses because GOP were going to put drunk ass nancy on the stand.
You were petrified that Trump's lawyer would call Pelosi as a witness..Also maybevyou should listen to the Lord's Prayer to see Godvis not a woman.
Hopefully the DOJ will take care of it. You guys did a wonderful job, thank you!
