The Democrats say it is "unfair" if the Senate doesn't allow them to call new witnesses and provide new documents in support of the impeachment of President Trump. It's not just unfair according to Schiff, the lead manager for the Democrats; nope, it's unAMERICAN. So here are a few points that we all need to keep in mind.
1. In the House proceedings, the Democrats were in total control.
2. When the Republicans asked to call witnesses during the impeachment investigation run in secret by Adam Schiff, the Democrats refused. The Republicans got to call no witnesses.
3. When the Republicans asked to subpoena certain documents during the impeachment investigation run in secret by Adam Schiff, the Democrats refused. The Republicans got to issue no subpoenas.
4. When Republicans said that this procedure needed to be changed, the Democrats ignored them.
5. When Republicans asked to call certain fact witnesses during the Judiciary Committee's impeachment hearings run by Jerry Nadler, the Democrats refused. The Republicans got to call NO fact witnesses to defend the President.
6. When Republicans asked to subpoena documents during the Judiciary Committee's impeachment hearings run by Democrat Jerry Nadler, the Democrats refused. The Republicans got to issue no subpoenas.
7. When Republicans said that the procedures needed to be changed, the Democrats ignored them.
8. During the House proceedings, the Democrats got to ask for testimony from every witness that they wanted and to seek every document that they wanted. To the extent that a witness or document did not appear, it was because the Democrats didn't bother to go to court to get an order compelling testimony or document production; it was the Democrats' choice how to proceed.
9. In the Senate, the Republicans have a majority. When the majority sets the rules, the Democrats suddenly say it's unfair not to allow them new witnesses and production of new documents even though they were fine with depriving the GOP of any right to witnesses or documents in the House.
The whole argument about witnesses, documents and "fairness" is complete Democrat hypocrisy. They should be ashamed to even say it, but shame is not an emotion known to congressional Democrats.
