Really?  So how many witnesses have been called in to testify during this "trial" so far?  I have watched probably 75 - 80% of the proceeding and I have seen exactly ZERO witnesses called.  This isn't like a regular trial that happens in courtrooms throughout the country.  And, while the Senate can subpoena additional witnesses if they chose, they will run into the same executive privlege defense that the House would have encountered had they bothered to follow existing precedent and actually submitted the impeachment inquiry to a vote of the ENTIRE House prior to Pelosi delegating it to the [Lack of] Intelligence Committee, before issuing subpoenas.  So now, the democrat controlled house is asking the republican controlled senate to wash their soiled sheets so they can oust a republican president 9 months prior to election.  Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is going to end well for them.
