When you investigate a crime, you speak to the witnesses in position to know if a crime has been committed. There is nothing in the process that says once you have spoken to them, they need not proceed on to the trial and actually testify. What kind of jurisprudence would that be?
The House has done its investigation. It has spoken to a number of the witnesses -- though it did miss some very key ones -- and gathered evidence against President Trump. Now it remains for the Senate to call those and the other pertinent witnesses and put on an honest trial. Despite what Fox News and others are saying, a trial should be held -- an honest one, a real one, a meaningful one.
To let the accused call the shots for his own trial? Has this ever been done? And, in a trial such as this, have witnesses ever been denied? John Bolton and every other pertinent witness should be called on.
