Why didn’t the House Democrats call more witnesses? They sure wanted to when the only charge on the table was abuse of power (the whole Ukraine thing), but then he totally stonewalled them and ordered everybody else in his administration to do the same. Thus the 2nd charge: obstruction of Congress, of which he was clearly guilty, guilty, guilty, in his own words, with tons of documentary evidence. All of which was ignored by the Senate Republicans.
Clearly the guy the Democrats needed was Perry Mason, who would step up to John Roberts at the last minute and announce the surprise witness who would testify that the perp was really the accused’s twin brother. But that would’ve been a fact, and there’s no way Mitch’s minions would have let ol’ Perry get the 2nd word out of his mouth.
