When the Senate on Friday — in the most partisan impeachment trial in the nation’s history — voted against calling more witnesses, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer did what he always does: Scold Americans.
“To not allow witnesses or documents in an impeachment trial is a grand tragedy, one of the worst tragedies that the Senate has ever overcome. America will remember this day — a day when the United Senate did not live up to its responsibilities, turned away from truth and instead went along with a sham trial. If the president is acquitted with no witnesses, no documents, any acquittal will have no value because Americans will know that this trial was not a real trial. It’s a tragedy on a very large scale,” the New York Democrat said.
