Schumer, in a letter to McConnell, proposed that the Senate subpoena four people who are close to the president or are expected to know about the delay of about $400 million in military aid to Ukraine: Mulvaney; Bolton; Robert Blair, senior adviser to Mulvaney; and Michael Duffey, associate director for national security at the Office of Management and Budget.
The “preferable path,” McConnell said, “would have been an in-person conversation, which I nonetheless still hope to pursue.” "We certainly do not need jurors to start brain-storming witness lists for the prosecution and demanding to lock them in before we have even heard opening arguments," McConnell said.
“Why is the leader, why is the president, so afraid of having these witnesses come testify?” Schumer said. He added that he wanted McConnell to provide “specific” reasons his requested witnesses shoudn’t testify.

the man who was elected to protect and follow our constitution calls it crappy and phony rules. What a prince!!
from the horses mouth himself. It was no joke
He was a Trump appointee present during the phone call. He reported it to the lawyer. Oh! I forgot he hates Trump and is lying
I guess ambassador Taylor lied also.
Mitch. Mitch. Applicable testimony of an exculpatory nature from pertinent witnesses is just what the doctor ordered, Mitch. Listen to your doctor, Mitch. There are far too many voodoo dolls with your likeness ready to be pierced in the head with needles.
MoscowMitch is complicit
If you need more witnesses that means it truly was a SchiffShamShow and a vote for PartisanImpeachment is actually a Coup! Trump2020Landslide
But if he’s so innocent, why not have his lackeys testify? Hmmmm
This guy needs to be removed ASAP!
senatemajldr You say insufficient process. But, if Trump is innocent bring in the people that can exonerate him. Donald Trump should testify. Pompeo should testify. Mick Mulvaney should testify. John Bolten should testify
Republicans need to stop saying the process is unfair, when the Whitehouse refuses to let witnesses testify..i mean, what are they hiding?..kentucky needs to vote this idiot out of office.
democrats must take the senate in 2020!!!
Is anyone really surprised?
If going down with the ship looks like this your on it moscow Mitch and good reddens
It’s time for this senator which he isn’t all he is a Russian asset hunger for money and doesn’t care about the constitution or the laws of this country 30 years in office working up to this disgrace of the job and the senate . Time to go and get out of this country
You have to go old man impeach and you have to go
If this creature does not get ran out of office, we have failed.
Make no mistake, there is one thing you can count on surrounding the Democrat party; if given the chance they will literally dismantle the US Constitution, remove your individual rights, and impose tyrannical and oppressive, socialist/communist rule over you
What about the Russian spy ship Moscow Mitch?
Maybe Mitch the Moscowvite should talk about the Russian spy ship that is running up and down the Eastern US coast between Miami and north Carolina. It is operating in an unsafe way with no lights on, no response when attempts are made to communicate.Trump's and Mitches get away?
The accusations against Trump are baseless. McConnell is right to put a sock in Schumer's m _ _ _ _ _.
Recuse or Remove Mcconnell from Senate Trial He has denied his oath of office MoscowMitch is compromised he is incapable of being objective He caNt even do the right thing & call more witnesses bcuz knowing 45 is Guilty & so is he
Mitch will be sad when he’s forced into retirement next year. Hopefully he set enough aside. MoscowMitch
What's insufficient? The president asked another country to meddle in our elections for his own benefit. Like I said. To all the fake patriots defending Trump. Ask yourself if a Democrat president did this. How would you feel.
Such a turd.
Yeah Vindman, Sondland and Hill just blah blah blah. The more he talks the less sense he makes.
Moscow is watching and listening in on you Mitch Moscow
Surprise 🙄history will not forget GOP
Since the process was an insufficient' impeachment. The House just won’t forward to the Senate so Trump will always be in a process of being removed. How about that slick Mitch ?
Get this guy tf outta here!!!
Speaker Pelosi should pass the articles of impeachment and not yet send them to the senate/
At what point can he be tarred and feathered?
senatemajldr HYPOCRITE
We want our trial to be fair !
In any other job McConnell would be fired for incompetence.
He, senatemajldr, isn't arguing Trump didn't do the things. He is arguing that the Democrats rushed it and didn't gather enough evidence. So, HouseDemocrats , gather some more evidence and come back. Easy.
So it begins
He has to cater to his master Trump and stay on his knees since his wife has a job in the admin. This guy is poster child of party first politics, he makes Newt look like a good guy.
Do your EFFING JOB MoscowMitch
7777MYNAME Chuck SenSchumer obviously knows the Democrat impeachment case is weak If the House case was SOOOOO strong, they wouldn't need additional witnesses
Well Damn whole lotta whinning going on here!
When is this turtle moscowmitch up for re-election? He claims the house should have done the full investigation but totally looks past the fact his master Trump forbid anyone from going to testify in the house. The Republican Party is proving every hour they are party first.
The Democrats’ case must stand or fall on its own merits. It’s frivolous & should be given the time it deserves. “The Senate is meant to act as judge and jury to hear a trial, not to rerun the entire fact-finding investigation because angry partisans rushed sloppily through it'
He just knows that the dems are wasting by by doing this so I applaud him for rejecting it I mean they did say trumpcouldn’t accept the results if he lost the election but the dems still haven’t accepted the results hypocrite much?
What were people expecting,that Mitch McConnell got a moment of clarity, is in right mind & has a conscience to support & defend the constitution? The man’s been in Congress for decades, got complacent & now abuses his office because he’s guaranteed gullible voters in Kentucky.
Mitch is a fvcking traitor.
senatemajldr McConnell is a Hypocrite and Dictator of the Senate. He’s a disgrace to Democracy and the Constitution of the USA 🇺🇸
ANOTHER CLEAR EVIDENCE OF realDonaldTrump 's ABUSE OF POWER IN HAVING A FOREIGN POWER INVESTIGATE HIS POLITICAL RIVAL. AND A CLEAR EVIDENCE OF RudyGiuliani SUBVERTING U.S. FOREIGN POLICY. A WHITE HOUSE CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE IN PROGRESS AS AMERICA PREPARES FOR AN IMPEACHMENT ! 👇
Hes going down with trump just anybody else. Hes just trying to cover his ass bc it wont last in jail.
Right... why learn the truth?! That's such a waste of time!
HiJCP Follow the rubles.
I hope he shits himself to death over the Christmas holiday. That would be just fantastic. Graham too. Shit-deaths all around.
Says this judge who’s totally impartial. Something needs to be done with all these Rs who are NOT impartial. Bet they lie with the new impartial rule they have to sign...then what?
I can't wait for the Mitch McConnell stamp.
Not working senatemajldr An innocent man does not block witnesses to testify. GOPFixIsIn
Is it breaking news?
Classic MoscowMitch
Trump2020
You know what I would do if my guy was innocent? I’d parade every witness on the planet to give testimony.
So says Moscow Mitch senatemajldr 🇺🇸
mermaidproperty Schumers letter was laughable at best. A friggin joke. Can't believe he wrote it with a straight face. The house impeachment hearings were a sham. No facts. The democrats just can't handle the results of Trumps election victory.
I just have 2 words: MoscowMitch
Yeah, senatemajldr doesn’t give a shit about justice and democracy.
I hope he gets scrooged and the ghosts show him how trash he is, lol.
Why is it no one realizes what Trump was asking for was information on the 2016 election.
Dream on MoscowMitch
D Collins minority Ranking Republican house member , he’s a pastor in Georgia , This clarifies the hypocrisy and Blasphemy that he spouts to defend Barrabas a criminal over Truth and an oath to the constitution and on the Bible:
a 77 year old menace to society impeachmitch LockHimUp
senatemajldr thinks Americans are ignorant. He is dead wrong. thehill politico chucktodd mitchellreports JohnJHarwood samstein costareports Acosta Eugene_Robinson ezraklein
McConman’s outrage rings hollow. He has already declared a lynching of the impeachment trial!
MoscowMitch must be voted out!!! He is the root of the problem.
Hey moscowmitch , get over it,it’s happening.
'Moscow Mitch' McConnell should carry out his obligation to conduct a fair trial of the abuse of power and obstruction case against President Donald J Trump, and cease making partisan and prejudicial statements.
He's at 19 percent approval. That's radiofuckingactive.
If only he could retreat to his shell. This human turtle that has the deficit of character that resembles a thug in a suit. He manufacter 'outrage' whenever the DEMS dare to challenge him...as he continually boldly proclaim that he will conduct a bogus hearing. RUN TURTLE RUN
MoscowMitchTraitor
Dear GOD why have you forsaken us to this charlatans, crooks, and imbeciles.
Trump's on video begging China for help investigating his opponent so, you know, that's enough right there.
Right on senatemajldr
Fuck senatemajldr who's own dealings with his wife's business and Russia are suspect. MoscowMitch is hiding behind procedure and false indignation.
Get the Pecker on the dias.
Shouldn’t this be followed with “I’m Donald Trump, and I approve this message.”
Did anyone expect Trumps favored son to say differently? PressSec realDonaldTrump VP POTUS senatemajldr liesfromthedevil
Yeah...if only Trump didn’t block eye witnesses and key players from testifying. Damn those democrats for not hearing from Pompeo, Bolton, Mulvaney, or Rudy. Puhleeeze. Grandma Mitch and anybody who listens to his garbage have become senile.
Wish we could IMPEACH him!!!! MOSCOW MITCH MUST GO!!! VOTE BULE IN 2020 KENTUCKY!!!! The man IS A FULL AND TOTAL DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY, JUST LIKE HIS THUG BOSS!!!!😡😡😡😡
Democrats are working impeachment quicker than a McDonalds drive thru
What he says is , he is not going to admit till Trump himself says he did it.. No criminal would be in jail arsehole if that is the standard.
Sorry Chuck but..
Mitch 'Trumps Butt Boy' McConnell ,You have something Brown on Your Lip.
It’ll be a great day when Mitch is gone from his toxic post.
Did he get his approval from russia before he spoke ?
MoscowMitch sure hates democracy!
He's 100% correct. It's not the senate's job to fix the democrats' weak case.
oh fuck him already.
