We missed our chance.
BREAKING (AP) — AP source: 2nd US embassy official overheard President Trump's call with Sondland about need for Ukraine investigations.
The Senate sets the rules of the trial at the beginning, so they could decide that no witnesses will be allowed. The question of witnesses was tabled at the beginning of Clinton's trial and only came up again a few weeks later when the House tried to call a witness. The Senate deliberated in secret on the question and eventually voted along party lines to allow the witness.This is a question for lawyers but can you subpoena anyone you want for a trial or impeachment, regardless of involvement in the case?
Asking because if I'm Hunter Biden, I obviously fight the subpoena on the grounds that I have no involvement in the foreign aid or Ukrainian diplomacy.
...You're right. Superficially he's the perfect candidate to appeal to those voters.
>There's another school shooting today, this time California. What happened to Trump's calls for stricter gun laws? Oh right, nothing.
Bloomberg reportedly skipping the first states. Is his all just a threat to the dem party that he will run as independent in general? You ain't gunna win if you don't participate in the first states..........and his chances were 0 to begin with........ so WTH is he doing.

If either Sanders or Warren is the nominee he is 100% running as an independent. Rich people, especially billionaires, care more about their money than anything else.Bloomberg reportedly skipping the first states.

This is a response to Warren's new ad, which touts her wealth tax and singles out billionaires Lloyd Blankfein, Leon Cooperman, Joe Ricketts and Peter Thiel. https://youtu.be/mN0a_ZhYjac https://twitter.com/lloydblankfein/status/1195020090108006405 …

Lloyd Blankfein @lloydblankfein
Surprised to be featured in Sen Warren's campaign ad, given the many severe critics she has out there. Not my candidate, but we align on many issues. Vilification of people as a member of a group may be good for her campaign, not the country. Maybe tribalism is just in her DNA.

Why does the press insist on calling it white nationalism and not white supremacy?

would love to see these supposedly liberal billionaires bring this "how dare you" energy to something of actual social value instead of their own hurt feelings about not being worshiped.
interesting point. Newsom will have a way better rap sheet than any of these guys and will still lose lol.

come on ladies we only have a month and a half left to bang out four more OTs and beat last year's record!
Tomorrow should be pretty good with the attacks she has been receiving, and Fiona Hill should also be good. Sondland could also be a surprise.

I would say he's in it to make money, but he doesn't need more money.Bloomberg reportedly skipping the first states.

Also not mentioned yet: Deval works/worked for Bain Capital. That's gonna go over real well.
Hmm
(Spoiler: There may be some subconscious sexism in play, but also he's always had a much more contentious relationship with Warren than Sanders - who he's more friendly with (so progressive!), and also he sees her base as more fluid than Sanders while she is a bigger threat to him.)
I mean, the only people to whom White Nationalism doesn't sound as bad as White Supremacy to are racists in the first place.All the big news outlets send memos to their hosts telling them certain things that they can or cant say. I'd guess that "white supremacy" is one of the things they arent allowed to say, so they go with white nationalists because it doesn't sound as bad.
That's what i thought, but wasn't sure.It is a general rule (at least it is in the UK and I guess the US is roughly the same) that evidence is admissible only where it is relevant to whatever the dispute is that the court is hearing. And that includes witness evidence.
Someone mentioned Senate voting on witnesses before so who knows.Since the Chief Justice presides over the Senate proceedings I'd expect this rule to be pretty closely adhered to.
It is really hard to see what relevance any testimony from Hunter Biden would have, since what Trump did is probably a high crime or misdemeanor quite regardless of anything that Biden may or may not have done.
