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.”

Yes .@ChrisCoons was more concerned about valentine's day weekend, or he would have disputed the news articles. Coons cared more about a pretentious holiday than doing what's right for the US. Anyone really surprised by his d-bag move? I vote blue & I'm not. CC .@RepSwalwell

Trump will only age like milk if both parties stop taking actions that only reinvigorate his base. His base needs to be allowed to simmer on low heat until they sour.

Could calling witnesses for this "trial" have messed up Civil and Criminal cases by tainting witnesses like what happened with Oliver North? I have seen this asserted a few times, not sure how valid it is.

I just think Coons is Biden’s person in the senate. And Biden wants his agenda to move forward. Unfortunately, he doesn’t understand accountability is the only way we can forward with his agenda. 🤕

Excellent! “Age like milk.” I agree.

Just stop. Damn you.

Is there anyone here calling for witnesses (which was going to prevent the senate from doing any other work FOR MONTHS) in desperate shape facing eviction, no food, no money? Or is this stand for principle worth what it would cost others less well off than you?
