“Bolton could say this is a disagreement over the way foreign policy is being conducted. There’s no crime being judged ... I have no objection to his testifying ...To me it amounts to an admission that what they’ve presented so far is pretty thin gruel.” — PolitiTweet.org

“I have no objection ... but to me it represents an admission” by House that they didn’t have enough info — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Sen. Cornyn doesn’t rule out eventually subpoenaing Bolton but says he thinks Bolton could help Trump’s case. Regardless, doesn’t seem to want to make decision on witnesses now — PolitiTweet.org

“Momentum for uncovering the truth in a Senate trial continues. John Bolton correctly acknowledged that he needs to comply with a Senate subpoena to compel his testimony, if issued. It is now up to four Senate Republicans to support bringing in Mr. Bolton,” Schumer says — PolitiTweet.org

Does this sound like a majority leader that wants to change the Senate rules to consider impeachment more quickly? McConnell on Friday: “for now, we are content to continue the ordinary business of the Senate while House Democrats continue to flounder.” — PolitiTweet.org

Also, Sen. Van Hollen said Speaker Pelosi will send the impeachment Articles to the Senate “She will send them over. There’s no doubt about that. She’s said she wants to get a better sense of what the trial will look like ... McConnell is working hard to rig the trial" — PolitiTweet.org

“We’ll just have to work it out, I mean despite all the rhetoric,” said Sen. Roberts, who presided over the Senate as McConnell and Schumer traded jabs. “We could bring back Phil Gramm and Ted Kennedy, but that might be a little difficult." — PolitiTweet.org

“I said to him on the floor: ‘Look Mitch, hope you’re thinking about this. We need documents and we need witnesses,’” Schumer said as he left the Capitol for the day on Friday afternoon. McConnell declined to give an update as he left — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate's impeachment action is over for the day and probably week. McConnell and Schumer left with no substantive progress and after giving diametrically opposed speeches. But Schumer and McConnell did have a brief convo on the Senate floor https://t.co/QCDqUBRGuM — PolitiTweet.org

"The trial must be informed by the evidence, not the other way around," Schumer says. — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer explains that the big difference between Clinton and Trump impeachment is that documents/witnesses appeared in Clinton's impeachment while Trump has blocked some of these. — PolitiTweet.org

Rather than a judge or jury, Schumer says McConnell is acting like an "executioner" ... of a fair trial, that is — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
"Instead of trying to find the truth, he is still using the same feeble talking points he was using last December," Schumer says of McConnell. "The Republican leader prefers finger-pointing and name-pointing" — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Schumer on McConnell: "A lot of finger-pointing, name-calling and misstating of history." But said McConnell ignored witnesses and documents. "He has no good argument ... so he resorts to these subterfuges" — PolitiTweet.org

Now McConnell is setting up votes on nominees for next week. Impeachment, it seems, will wait! — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Now McConnell says he's going to simply do the Senate's normal business until Pelosi sends the articles of impeachment over. Think confirming judges/nominees and passing USMCA — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
"You'd be better believe senators have started forming opinions," McConnell says of impeachment. Says House's "turn is over. they've done enough damage. It's the Senate's turn now" — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell says Clinton committed a felony, so Dems arguing about impartiality these days should have removed him from office. Now McConnell hitting Schumer for running for his Senate seat as an anti-impeachment candidate. — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Unsurprisingly, McConnell is unmoved after weeks of Schumer beating the drum on witnesses and documents. Key question is whether he has the votes to move forward initially without docs/witnesses (51 of 53 R senators with full attendance) — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell says Schumer is "openly coordinating" with Pelosi (the "prosecutor," he says) about the impeachment trial "The structure of this impeachment trial should track with the Clinton trial" — PolitiTweet.org

Now onto impeachment, McConnell says the House has "jeopardized the foundations of our system of government" by impeaching Trump — PolitiTweet.org
