But you're right, nobody is talking about the stupid conspiracy that Horowitz debunked. Not to worry, I'm sure the republicans are cooking up their next big lie to fool gullible people.


If you watch Fox News, they're just flat out lying about the conclusions of the IG report. So their moronic viewers don't even know it debunked anything.

Yesterday's hearing was amazing. As CNN
described it, hours of lawyers yelling at
lawyers and impeachment wasn't advanced
an inch. The audience chairs were half empty,
Fatboy Nadler wore out his gavel, and you
had one guy jump up from the witness
stand and run to the podium to be a
questioner. To say it was an embarrassing
circus does an injustice to circuses.. lol

'End this': Republicans poised to call no witnesses during Trump impeachment trial in Senate

Quote:
Senate Republicans do not expect to call witnesses President Trump might want to hear from most in an impeachment trial, conceding there are not the votes to summon key figures such as Hunter Biden and the unidentified government whistleblower whose complaint sparked the process.

Senate impeachment rules require a majority vote to call witnesses, and with just two out of 53 votes to spare, there is no “appetite” among Republicans to pursue testimony from people that Democrats blocked Republicans from subpoenaing during the House investigation. Indeed, Republicans might forgo calling witnesses altogether, saying minds are made up on Trump’s guilt or innocence and that testimony at trial on the Senate floor would draw out the proceedings unnecessarily.


Thoughts and prayers to those righties who thought Mitch was gonna be able to magically get Joe and Hunter Biden to testify.

Did you even read the article,
or as usual just skim the headline.

Not exactly. They are emphasizing the parts that they like more than the ones they don't and they are also emphasizing that the prosecutor has wider latitude to investigate people now outside the government. The other outlets are saying it is totally debunked and emphasizing other parts of the report.

I think that is pretty much what happens every news cycle.

Your disappointment is showing. You were foaming at the mouth at the prospect of the Senate trial being everything the House investigations weren’t for your side.

Rush has been warning us for
months not to expect much
from Horowitz, who is an Obama
appointee and a partisan hack.
He's says look to Durham and
Barr instead. And both of them
made statements yesterday that
the Horowitz report is lacking,
and even wrong in some places,
and to be patient, the real story
is coming.

Too bad everyone knows what a crooked hack he is and not to take anything he says seriously.
