    We have never had moral leaders.

    James Garfield was a moral leader. I think Ronald Reagan, Ike, and Jimmy Carter were as well. I think Coolidge was, but am not sure. I am moral. I will be president in 2032.

    My opinion is that one can't gain political power without hurting people. Hurting people isn't moral. Some are worse than others.

    "The Defense Rests: GOP Leaders Reportedly Considering Not Calling a Single Witness"

    I believe they were referring to the Democrats not being allowed to call a single witness.

    I believe you are slow to endorse the fact that the GOP does not want any witnesses called because all of the potential witnesses hurt trump.

    The utter FAILURE of the GOP to find a single credible witness to defend the CRIMES of your IMPOTUS says volumes.

    Wow!

    ....and.

    The alleged "victim" say he wasn't pressured into investigating Burisma Holdings. So where is the crime? No worries, the Senate will get to the bottom of it.

    Why did YOUR Republican representatives FAIL to call either of those witnesses to testify?

    Was it because Viktor Shokin would FINGER Devin Nunes as a CO-CONSPIRATOR in your IMPOTUS's crimes?

    Republicans never made a request for Shokin or Giuliani or Zelensky to testify, did they?

    To get to the final truth.

    Here's what I'd consider doing if I were Schumer... I'd offer up Joe Biden as a "witness" for Bolton... Biden would make it clear his actions regarding Shokin were following and dictated by US and EU policy while Bolton would make it clear Trump held the aid for personal reasons that violated National Security.

    Win/Win...

    And when Shokin is called as a witness he will contradict Plugs, making him guilty of perjury.

    Absolutely. Neither side is going to knowingly suborn perjury...

    What is it about the phone call that you don't know or haven't made your up about, and how will calling witnesses make any difference?
