We’re still probably a week or more from the moment of truth on the witness issue, but additional maneuvering will probably go on in the background as everyone tries to figure out if four Republican senators might defect and open up the trial
Lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff in his element. Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images After Day One’s fractious seesaw of contending arguments over a long series of Democratic amendments to Mitch McConnell’s “organizing resolution” to guide the Trump impeachment trial, Day Two was smoother and more coherent.
Additional impeachment mangers alternated with Schiff in filling out evidence of the President’s quid-pro-quo “scheme.” Val Demings talked about the key meeting the White House held out to Ukrainian President Zelensky that he wanted so badly; Jason Crow discussed the stalled and desperately needed U.S. military assistance; and Hakeem Jeffries addressed Trump’s “perfect call” with Zelensky in detail.
Zoe Lofgren closed the loop by bringing the narrative up through the whistleblower report, congressional inquiries and the ultimate release of Ukraine aid once the president had been “caught.” After Trump’s legal team emphatically supported McConnell’s organizing resolution setting up a potentially speedy trial, the president mused in Davos on Wednesday morning about going the “long way” on his trial, with testimony from a “a lot of people,” including former national security adviser John Bolton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Energy Secretary Rick Perry.
