It is about time. The impeachment trial is finally getting closer to being over. A majority of Senators have agreed that they will not be calling witnesses. Swing Vote Murkowski was the final piece of the puzzle as she just gave the GOP the majority they needed to vote “No,” to witnesses.
“Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski came out Friday against calling witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial, all but assuring the Senate will move to wrap up proceedings with a likely acquittal in a matter of days, if not hours.
“Given the partisan nature of this impeachment from the very beginning and throughout, I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate. I don’t believe the continuation of this process will change anything. It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed,” said Murkowski, R-Alaska, a key moderate senator who has been closely watched on the witness question.
The announcement came after Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., who also had been on the fence on the issue, announced late Thursday that he would not support additional witnesses in Trump’s “shallow, hurried and wholly partisan” trial.
Right now, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah are the only GOP senators to signal support for witnesses. Presuming Democrats vote as a bloc and no other Republicans defect, this would leave the pro-witness side with just 49 votes.
This means that they will not be able to drag this trial out forever and the Senate will have to use the same evidence that the House had to determine whether Trump is guilty of obstruction of Congress and Abuse of Power. But seeing as the majority of the Senate is not interested in calling in witnesses, it seems likely that Trump will soon be acquited. America will finally be able to move on to actual issues.

They are at it again and just as mentally deranged as the rest of the Globalists NAZI Muslim Commie Liberal Demoncrats!

Please don’t leave out the one paying for this impeachment show, MR. George Soros!
After the dems lost the call for witnesses vote – and presumption that POTUS Trump will get acquitted – a commentator asked, “What will the Democrats do next?” I KNOW the answer.
It goes something like this:
God knows everything – past, present, future.
God was feeling pretty good about all of His creations – until He had to kick Adam and Eve out of the Garden for their disobedience. He felt something like “buyers remorse” but saw some good things in mankind. So, He decided to “wait-and-see”. God became so disappointed in His creation of man-and-woman as He watched things go from bad to worse.
One day, God realized that He had made a terrible mistake and the disobedience of Adam and Eve had paved the way for Donald Trump to one day be elected POTUS. God knew something dramatic had to be done to correct this mistake, so He decided to have his Son be born of a Virgin. Despite all the miracles His Son did and wonderful words of life spoken, the mistake still was not corrected. So, God decided something really drastic had to be done. Jesus had to die! Again feeling badly and realizing even the death of Jesus would not prevent Trump being elected, God restored Jesus to life and took Him back to heaven.
Therefore, POTUS Donald Trump is directly responsible for the torture and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Since this exact plan being discussed by Pelosi, Shumer, and Schiff was overheard by the whistleblower, it must be true.
David you have gotten the spin sown pat. But the truth is God did have a hand in the 2016 election. HRC, who had already ordered the fireworks and the caterers scheduled for her coronation. There was no way she would not win, why, well because the democrats had paid for everything and even got rid of one of their own. Well fire and brimstone fell in the form of a landslide election placing Donald Trump in office. Now remember HRC telling Donald Trump that is he would not except the outcome of the election, he would be a danger to our republic, HMMM what happened. Now the left has spent the last 3+ years trying to nullify the votes of 56.7 million voters who voted for him. Trump won 30 out of 50 states, and 2,623 counties, to Clinton’s 20 states or 489 counties.
I just don’t trust anyone, if they vote to impeach there will be a civil war almost guaranteed!! I hope the senate does not stab the president in the back…. that would bring on socialisim and govt. takeover the United States as we know it will be gone forever!!!
