National security adviser John Bolton adjusts his glasses before an interview at the White House in Washington, March 5, 2019.
“America will remember this day, unfortunately, where the Senate did not live up to its responsibilities, where the Senate turned away from truth and went along with a sham trial,” he says. "There is no need for the Senate to re-open the investigation which the House Democratic majority chose to conclude and which the Managers themselves continue to describe as “overwhelming” and “beyond any doubt.” Never in Senate history has this body paused an impeachment trial to pursue additional witnesses with unresolved questions of executive privilege that would require protracted litigation.
Deputy Counsel to the President Patrick Philbin addresses the Senate during the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump at the Capitol on Jan. 30, 2020, in Washington.The president's defense team continues to argue that additional witnesses aren't necessary because the president's behavior doesn't warrant an impeachable offense.
"I think it's very dangerous if the House runs up, which they did, articles of impeachment quickly, so quickly, that they are clamoring for evidence despite the fact that they put all of this evidence forward," Sekulow says. “We just talked about motive and intent. Well if you want further insight into the president's motives or intent further direct evidence of why he withheld the military aid in the White House meeting, you should call his acting chief of staff who had more access than anyone. There’s only one way to find out let's all just question Mister Mulvaney under oath,” Jeffries says.
"Even over the course of this trial, we have seen so many additional facts come to light. The facts will come out. In all of their horror, they will come out," Schiff says. "Rob this country of a fair trial and there can be no representation that the verdict has a clear meaning, how could it if the result is baked into the process? Assure the American people that whatever the result may be that they got a fair shake." he says.

Donald John Trump is a crook of the highest order, and his Republican legislator supporter are crook supporters. And these are supposed to be our leaders? What a pathetic bunch of people for leaders of this great nation.
💩
The only coverup is by the Swamp rats and Former Obama administration. Keep ignoring the facts tho.
That has a funny ring coming from the very women that also did NOT allow witnesses. She had to fast track it to only delay the transfer of the impeachment articles themself.
This all hag needs to retire
What can be done ? Where are intelligent and honest politicians?Our country is drowning!
Democrats had 17 of their own witnesses that failed to testify in favor ,3 years of witnesses , Muller, thousands of depositions , hundreds of other witnesses, FBI,CIA, M5, M6, DOJ, whistleblower Media , could not find anything except uncover Dems corruption,
So the 17 witnesses House Dems called wasn’t enough? What happened to this overwhelming case with overwhelming evidence u said overwhelmingly proved Trumps quilt? Since there is no evidence, no witnesses, & no case how can the Senate be accomplices when there was no crime?
I know Trump is guilty, let him run the president . Make him suffer more !
Pelosi-the-Putz & her Demonrat caucus, motivated by selfish, anti-American anger and Trump-hate, put the American people through a very costly and divisive impeachment hoax in a vain effort to stroke Democrats’ egos. What was revealed instead, is profound Democrat impotence.
Impeachment the only judicial system in America that doesn't require witnesses? Doesn't seem legal.
Vieja taba liar
It is definitely a cover up. How much did Donnie pay the Republicans anyway?
On the other hand: What gringos! Honduras sends them coca and they are happy with their dictator. Nicaragua seizes them coca and they are upset with Daniel Ortega Why will it be?
Speaker Pelosi, the coverup started in the House committees and continued with House managers' presentations in the Senate. There was no coverup by the Senate. They just followed and adhered to the rules. Something the House under your leadership chose not to do.
If the stupid Democrat Politicians can’t win, it’s a cover up. Tantrums of the sorry left.
Why did she not fully investigate if not to set up the whole scenario that the republicans are covering up for Trump? More divisive hate driven nonsense.
SpeakerPelosi needs to retire!
is liberal news
We know... we know, Nancy! I am a Dem and I want the leadership to concentrate on the election, not more of this TV circus!
The only cover up we know is the refusal by Pelosi and Co to give President Trump a fair trial, their refusal to allow him Counsel in the one sided House secret meetings, their effort to obfuscate the American people's conscience through lies, that's the real cover up.
Yawn
Nice to see your ‘balanced’ coverage as usual! Exactly why Trump will win again in 2020. ABC is a media extension of the Democrat Party!
Suck it Pelosi 🖕 🇺🇸
Thank you for voting for the overwhelming majority of Americans who know excluding witnesses, in a trial, is UNdemocratic and Unconstitutional. Thank you, Speaker Pelosi, for fighting for the truth. Truth is what Trump and his GOP enablers wants to permanently extinguish
That's it..She said it all!
Get over it Nancy...... The house did the “inquiry,” you had your chance. Let it go!
Liar. The Dems had the entire case they used to impeach in the House, including 17 witnesses & 1,000s of documents, to present. They they had nothing so they made a political statement instead of a case. The only difference with the Senate trial is POTUS was allowed a defense.
Ms. Pelosi you started this witch hunt since the President was elected. The American people can see though your hate. I pray you get voted out of office which would be a start for our country to heal.
I think she has been
Nancy, please go away !!
Hahahahaha resign Nancy you lost
Nervous Nancy Pelosi ha ha ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣🤣👀👀👀look at her career now the SQUARD is her boss wow
CATHERINENEVER2 Speaker Pelosi, when a president takes the oath of office at the inauguration doesn't he remain under oath for the entirety of his time in office? If he has lied 16,000 times while under oath shouldn't he be removed from office?
How can you trust a well known liar like Trump I just don't understand. He makes his own crisis and flips it on everyone else and some think he fights back smh just at his own stupid doings. Nobody else can lie and get away with so how can you put your future in a liars 🖐.
I'm pretty sure every Democrat wants to get as far away from this huge turd they have deposited in Washington. What an amazing embarrassment for the unhinged left. Unfortunately Democrats have no time left before the election to accomplish anything of importance. Inept fools.
SpeakerPelosi is old and senile. You sold the people out with your piece of schiff impeachment hearings purely based on hearsay, speculation, and political bias. Clearly you’ll go down as the worst Speaker ever. 😂
So instead of just saying something, do something. I believe your right. Now what. Do we sit here and accept it. Or do we march on Washington, disrupt commerce, demand righteousness, etc. this cannot end like this.We the people need to protect the republic.
Flail, Vampiric One, flail
Waaa!
True. Trump had no witnesses. Let’s even it out. Schiff and whistleblower will do
She's Fake news!!!!
I pray the Democrats and Republicans stop all hating each other!!! You people have been so horrible to each other. There’s this new way of thinking called love, both Parties need 9CCs stat!!
You lost. Get over it!
It’s just ludicrous to think they didn’t get all the evidence at congress and how could they vote to impeach without all the evidence is frankly an abomination & farce - smooth talking schiff cannot bluff his way through that ....
SpeakerPelosi just stepped on another rake. Wile E Coyote style.
Go back to the house table every bill every amendment reopen investigation subpoena witnesses subpoena documents if they don't respond keep tabling all bills keep tabling all amendments! Madame speaker you're the strongest woman I've ever seen you can do this!
Go get another drink Nancy
It was a two-pronged smear campaign. Hearsay and opinion piece to defame the president in addition timed do you have the Senate proceedings take place so 4 senators would be taken off the campaign Trail to benefit Biden
So if someone doesn’t vote with you they’re over IG something up? Absurd.
Tit for tat
iTs OvEr NaNcY PiNoT gRiGiO
The Demo butt hurt is real !!! LOL
Lady you have been in politics for decades. How many coverups are you a part of ? Go on with your hypocrisy
Hahaha! 🤣🤣🤣 need a tissue?
She keeps saying coverup. Pretty sure she doesn’t know what it means.
RICO-RICO-RICO
If there where witnesses you should have called them in the house. You made allegations with no proofs and now want to look for witnesses because you didn’t do your job right or you knew it was all bull
.RudyGiuliani dropping smoking gun info on Biden/Burisma... Full podcast:
What about the Democrats covering up for joe Biden
Traitors
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂propaganda lies
Hey Nan....your folks said the evidence was overwhelming.
Liars and cheaters and thieves. Oh my.
These democrats are liars and the corrupt media industry promotes their lies. Americans aren’t stupid. 🇺🇸 will VoteGOP in every state and for every seat in 2020. If these lying loons get power this nation is sunk. Today’s Democrat party is a national disgrace.
The cover up encompasses many in the democrat party, not trump.
She’s so full of herself! Her 15 minutes of fame are over!
Ulysses S. Grant said, 'There are two parties now: traitors and patriots.' We can easily identify the first party. Today their voices were counted. Let us not forget - who stood for America, and who betrayed our Democracy. They chose their King. Make sure that is all they get.
KellyScaletta So go have them arrested
I think the new rule should be that if the speaker of the house sends articles of impeachment to the Senate and if the President is acquitted, the speaker should be forced to resign. That would stop flimsy partisan impeachments.
'Treason is a strong word, but not too strong to characterize the situation in which the Senate is the eager, resourceful, and indefatigable agent of interests as hostile to the American people as any invading army could be.' - David Graham Phillips
Nana is drunk again.
Awwwww nancy...bye bye
Has nothing to do with compelling evidence and witnesses. Has to do with they are tired of their time being wasted.
Trump2020LandslideVictory
Ok Nancy Have another one
NEW: Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Senate vote against allowing these dudes I know: 'The Senate Republicans’ vote against calling these dudes I know and compelling documents in the impeachment proceedings makes them accomplices to the President’s cover-up.'
Please God, let this all be over with now! I don’t even care how it ends just as long as it does.......
Was it normal for the Democrats to try to impeach the president because they know that’s the only chance they have at getting him out of office?
Bill Clinton taught them how to sweep felonies under the rug
SpeakerPelosi , if you had done your job to start with, there would be NO need for additional witnesses. Your failure!
Hey peloser! Go back and take care of your city ! They need your help! Meanwhile it’s TrumpLandslide2020! AmericaFirst 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yawn
SpeakerPelosi blundered by putting RepAdamSchiff in charge. His heavy handed treatment of the case alienated the moderate GOP Senators needed to succeed. And it gave them cover to vote he case away. Despite the media applauding her political smarts, this was a miscalculation.
❤️
The only witness you needed was your whistleblower if it was so important to national security why has he not testifiedis having a mole inside the Republican party really more important than our national security
If I was an American, I'd be marching in the streets and burning the phone lines of Republican Senators. King George III is laughing in his grave.🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦
If she wasnt able to see this coming how can she call herself a Master Legislator?
Well republicans are committing treason to the vary definition
🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
Cover up like your sons business deals in Ukraine, that type of cover up?
Poor poor Nancy- have a “chill out” drink tonight on behalf of the Right.
LORDhelpus
Give me a damn break! Nancy is a incompetent drunk! She’s about to lose the house & her job which is what needs to happen!
Democrats in Congress sound more and more like hard line conservatives during the Obama years everyday and it would be funny if it weren't so worrying
They will vote to acquit ... and Pelosi will run a vote of presidential censure through the House immediately. What happens to it in the Senate?
Imagine if Bolton does do an interview & says he never wrote what has been reported & the New York Times reported falsely/lied or twisted it to add to the reality TV drama.
Nancy.....time for your daily🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼. Be quiet.
The new GOP talking pattern.
Enough of that, no one in their right mind thought Trump was going to be convicted
Narrator: She was 100% correct.
Subpoena Bolton
Give it up guys lol.
She nasty. Don't agree with Nancy, you're a criminal. Good luck with that.
