"It’s all perfectly bizarre to have this sudden surprise witness come up literally before closing arguments…in a normal court of law a judge would go absolutely ballistic…" - Jonathan Turley

Thread: Chaos at the impeachment trial.
Dems had agreed to know witnesses, then House Managers changed their mind this morning.
Schumer blindsided. Pandemonium. They’re negotiating now to figure out next steps.

BREAKING: Trump impeachment defense lawyers warn in 78-pp trial brief that Democrats' "slippery slope" impeachment tactics could be used by a future GOP Congress against Biden "for his obstruction of justice in setting up the Russia hoax" or Hillary for mishandling state secrets

Hmm, Cruz talking about Anonymous Q's….
2/x While we’re waiting to figure out what’s next, I thought I’d share some of the Qs in the pile that DIDN’T make the cut to be asked yesterday. (These are all real, from various senators, who will remain anonymous.)

Now that we are going to have witnesses no one can claim this is a fair trial unless both sides are now allowed to call them.

Was thinking the dems would "find" witnesses like Vindman, Yavonovich….You get the idea.
Perfectly apt analogy.
Mebbe THIS is why Graham changed his vote?
Graham's call with Georgia's secretary of State will be investigated: report

If the House Managers call Rep Herrera Beutler as a witness, the first witness Trump’s lawyers should call is Nancy Pelosi. Several Qs she should answer:
What did you know about threats to the Capitol?
When?
Did you turn down national guard because of “optics”?

Graham explains;

Senate recesses until 12:30 p.m. Pretty chaotic

Truly kek-worthy day.
Also notice;
Senate falls in Trap for Witnesses, and now the shills have come out
Indeed, Anon. Enjoy your covfefe.
Sen. Cruz: 'Schumer is desperately trying to get out of this dead end into which they have driven themselves.'
