The group of House impeachment managers who will be leading the Democratic charge against President Trump this week are making some new demands. White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, who will be the president's lead counsel this week, they insist, is a "fact witness" and therefore must provide his "first-hand knowledge" about Trump's phone call with Ukraine immediately. They inform Cipollone of these demands in a new letter on Tuesday, just hours before the trial is set to begin.(Snip for tweet) "Evidence indicates that, at a minimum, you have detailed knowledge of the facts regarding the first Article and played an instrumental role in the conduct charged

Then they need to remove Adam Schiff. He is also a fact witness if you want to go down that road. And didn't the Democrats have a guy testify during the impeachment hearing and then come around and sit to ask questions of other witnesses?
Want a joke!

If they get him it'll be the first time the dems have ever talked to an actual fact witness.

Demand? Like Glinda said to the Wicked Witch of the West. "Begone! You have no power here!

Anybody who has read the transcript is now a fact witness.

A new definition of the word "Chutzpah," which has been often referred to as a kid killing his parents and claiming mercy since he is an orphan.

Just more Bull Schiff to wet the appetite of their base who's being convinced the process is rigged, or as Schumer believes, is tantamount to a "cover-up".
I'm guessing the House Dems will bore the heck out of everyone, and not make an actual convincing argument, much like their two articles.
They want to weaken Trump, and in the process the Office of the President.

This would be laughable if it wasn't so serious.

Not going to happen, and #1 is exactly correct.

Screw the Democrats; no one cares what they think and say...with the possible exception of Chuck Todd and no one care what he thinks and says.

So the Democrats will be removing Schiff, since he will be called for testimony on his coaching of the fake whistleblower, and his admitted perjury about the contents of the Ukrainian phone call?

They have no say in Trump's choices of his legal defense. Pretty much one of hte tenets of our legal system. Democrats are trying to deny Trump the best representation he can put together. I seriously want Trump to squash these slugs like they deserve. Schiff has no clue what he has coming and he deserves every single bit of it. Pat must be terrifyingly good if the democrats want him removed. They always project what they most fear. Pat C needs to chew them up into little swampy bits. I really want to see whimpering on a massive scale.

The facts are already released in the transcript. What more do they want? Oh, I know, to act like children demanding candy and if they don't get it they will hold their breath till they turn blue. Oh, scary.

#5 - I'm all for that. In fact, to make it "fair" the pubbies could remove three Senators to keep the playing field level. How about Collins, Murkowski, and Romney if they recuse Sanders, Warren, and Klobuchar?

Tyranny of the minority. They ran a clown show in the House, now they want to run the same clown show in the Senate, where they are the freakin' minority. And, these baboons are not even in the Senate, and they want to run things. Typical rats.

Behind the scenes I hope that McConnell has said to the House managers what Cheney famously said to Patrick Leahy.
