| #16 because Chuck wants 'a fair trial', I think he should have it. I do to. Chuck as the defendant at Cocaine Mitch as the prosecutor, judge & jury. |

| #15 My opinion is that if the trial goes long Schumer will be begging to have it cut short. An endless procession of 'no quid-pro-quo' followed by actual evidence of what happend is not something the Dems want competing with their primary. |

| #13 Any fair minded judge in the land would laugh these bogus charges out of court. Warthog is right. Leave the investigations and court trials to Mr. Barr. |

| #12 Consider this. Knowing that they have a monumental loser in the impeachment outcome in the Senate, and that the motive has always been to dirty up Trump with the vague charges anyway, a new strategy is emerging that is the best political outcome from this for a party with terrible candidates for the 2020 presidential contest. What if Schumer’s proposal is an intentional deal breaker, allowing them to pass impeachment in the House but refuse to transmit it to the Senate because of “doubts about GOP integrity “. They have a looming story of a corrupt president for the 2020 election without ever having it considered and exposed for the codswallop it actually is. They get the political value and never get exposed for their seditious intent. |

| #10 Then there's this - Make no mistake: Schumer is hoping for a long trial in which he and his Senate caucus can paralyze the federal government and give left-wing groups the time to agitate against the GOP Senate, much as they unsuccessfully tried to derail the confirmation hearings of current Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. McConnell, the president, and the overwhelming majority of the GOP Senate caucus have already gone on record against impeachment and against the charges brought against the president through impeachment. They tend to favor a speedy trial in the Senate so that the government can get back to doing the business of the people. Political Insider |

| #9 Remember when he asked the House Democrats for a Fair impeachment trial? Me neither. |

| #8 I used to be of the opinion that I wanted a trial with witnesses and disclosure. Now I'm of the mindset that I want an acquittal up front followed by investigations. Why? 1. Do the investigations not in the public eye followed by full disclosure (yeah I know...) Don't tie it to impeachment..would just drag it on. 2. A trial is presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court...one John Glover Roberts Jr. and I don't trust him not to screw us over. |

| #7 Clever Chuckie is assuming the Senate Pubs will vote it down, without a trial. So he can claim, "They wouldn't even give it a fair trial!" I waver between the Senate 'laughing it out of town' or a three-month long trial. At the moment, because Chuck wants 'a fair trial', I think he should have it. |
