'President Trump, release the emails. Let the witnesses testify. What are you afraid of?' Schumer said on Sunday.

in New York City, Schumer urged President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans to provide documents and witnesses in order for the Senate to hold a"full, fair and honest" trial."What is a trial with no witnesses and no documents?" he said."It's a sham trial. And that's why [I] feel so strongly that there ought to be witnesses and documents."

The documents showed that OMB staffers were instructed by White House official Michael Duffey to hold the $391 million in congressionally-approved aid to Ukraine after Trump's July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which the U.S. leader asked his foreign counterpart to probe the family of former Vice President Joe Biden. Their conversation and the holding of aid to Ukraine are at the heart of the impeachment proceedings into Trump.

He added:"So I'll close by saying this: President Trump, release the emails. Let the witnesses testify. What are you afraid of?"

The clowns in the senate don't care about evidence, or truth. Their God Donald Trump is all they care about. Such terrible times we live in!

Emails you say?

They need to convict the whole senate and GOP of trying to overthrow the government.

Why is Pelosi indicating that she may not send the articles of impeachment to the Senate until an agreement has been reached? Wouldn't such arguments be better made in front of the chief justice who is more used to the rules of court?

Heres joe biden, telling us kids like his hairy legs:

No time like the present for patriots to come out with the evidence to force the Senate's hand. Country before party.

Time after Time Day after Day THE EVIDENCE continues to stack up like an 👇👇👇
