Lead Democratic House prosecutor Adam Schiff alleged that Pat Cipollone - President Trump's lead attorney in the impeachment trial - was 'in the loop' in Ukraine pressure campaign, citing a New York Times report

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate on Friday voted against calling witnesses and collecting new evidence in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, clearing the way for Trump’s likely acquittal in the coming days.

Those actions prompted the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives to formally charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in December. The Senate is almost certain to acquit Trump of the impeachment charges, as a two-thirds Senate majority is required to remove Trump and none of the chamber’s 53 Republicans have yet indicated they will vote to convict.

Senators don't want the truth. Trumplicans filled the swamp bigley.

In evident terms the Democrats partisan case, counted with a poor managment of assumptions and interpretations. Reasons for it’s failure.

RepAdamSchiff and Democrats planted the story in NYT and than used it in their arguments but Senators know better than to trust this lowlife.

And schiff conspired with the whistleblower

He WAS in the room, according to witness John Bolton.

Schiff just sit down and shut the hell up. You lost . Deal with it.

More lies and false accusations from the left. Looks like Javanaugh 2.0. The left always does this. But then the whole impeachment was started on lies and false accusations.

The swamp is deep and Schiff is under water

It’s safe to bet that Shifty leaked false information to the New York Times and then sited that article during the trial. This is standard Democrats play book and it has destroyed the MSM’s credibility to most Americans. Sad...

Based on evidence provided by Bolton you might have added

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

Imagine conservatives if: Obama walked off a bus talking about grabbing p***y Obama ripped on John McCain while hes in the grave Obama asked his personal lawyer to dig dirt on a rival Obama had 5 close aides that became felons On and on... The presidency will never be the same

What is Schiff so afraid of?

Schiff should be arrested for treason

You can’t waste all these resources in pursuing a vendetta! Not working🤥

He should have been removed for conflict of interest! lies attorneyforamericanpeople

Inadmissible evidence

Nothing RepAdamSchiff says has a shred of credibility after his non-stop accusations with no merit.
