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.”

More lies and innuendo @ericswalwell. We know the truth. A hateful @KamalaHarris @SpeakerPelosi @SenBooker @RepMaxineWaters @Ilhan and other @DNC operatives were going to be called to respond. They had their own "peaceful protest" falsehoods and righteous, hypocritical anthems...
Sahdumb Hasan, there shouldn't have been any impeachment anyway Somehow U Dems wanted to rush it based on NOTHING Spy lover Smalwell DIDN'T have any witnesses for them All witnesses would've pointed to Dems Twas all a CHARADE BWW🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣H🤣
From now on, he’ll be known only as “President-Ex” #President-Ex
That’s bullsh*t. The socialist party didn’t want witnesses.
That's some master deflection. "We would have called witnesses, and then we read his email."
WE THE PEOPLE wanted to hear witnesses!!!! The GOP may have lost a few million future voters if you had witnesses. Who cares about the senators!
No Swallowwell, you are a criminal, sleeping with a Chinese spy #fangfang
The ONLY power one has is the power one gives
You could add another couple of reasons on why you did not want to call witnesses: 1) You were too busy smoothing things over with Fang Fang 2) You're busy Photoshopping verification badges in Twitter Keep up the great work!
Let's be honest, you didn't want people to know what @SpeakerPelosi knew and when she knew it, or them to go after @VP for bailing out rioters...yeah we know!
