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 didn't call witnesses cause that would open you ALL UP to prosecution , BTW HOW IS YOUR CHINESE SPY/LOVER DOING?
America needs VERY STRONG Democratic party. Our democracy depends on it. Naively believing that Republicans will EVER do the right thing is a huge problem. The Republicans are running rampant and want to end democracy. We need to fight

Replying to @MehdiHasanShow
What? Democrats like @RepSwalwell & @RepRaskin _believed_ @LeaderMcConnell? When in the past 37 years has McConnell shown _any_ evidence of honesty, decency, or even the slightest commitment to democracy for any but his fellow wealthy white Christian fascists? @mehdirhasan
How many times are you guys going to ask the same question????

That's why we regret voting for you guys. You drop the ball when it's crucial. Because it might be difficult.
