Even after winning the vote to call witnesses Dems agreed to wrap the Senate trial without calling any witnesses. A wasted opportunity or wise move to move on to more important business? What do you think?

No point in dragging this thing out. We knew weeks ago what the result was going to be. Honestly, the bar really can’t go any lower after what we already saw this week.

Depends on the objective. My guess is that senate Ds had no interest in attenuating the trial by days or weeks and ending up in the same place. Senate Rs knew that and used a stipulation as an incentive to get the senate Ds to get the managers to move on.

If this was a real trial in which the outcome was in doubt and the proponent of the evidence wanted to win, no capable trial lawyer would agree to substitute a short, sterile stipulation for the live testimony of a witness who would have set off a bomb in the courtroom.

Guys. This whole thing was going nowhere.

True. How do you feel about that reality?

Nothing presented at the trial would have convinced enough GOP Senators to change their votes.
Impeachment has never been about guilt; always political. Research Johnson's, Clinton's and both Trump trials.

I would’ve loved to see them call Trump under oath. But there was never going to be a conviction so this doesn’t make any difference. Trump has taken over the Republican Party and taken their integrity, courage, and honesty.

They’re not getting a conviction and witnesses aren’t changing the reality that Trump should be convicted, but won’t be.

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm. I am 85% sure I’ll take the offer, but wanted to see if anyone could think of acting I may be missing out on by leaving? FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.
