And because Republicans used their majority to help Trump’s obstruction of witnesses it really was a sham trial and acquittal. After the John Bolton leaks, it’s very apparent how much of a sham it was.

As Mitch McConnell said in a Senate floor statement right after the Senate acquittal, Democrats' clear plan was to force the Senate to call witnesses THAT THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS DIDN'T AND WOULDN'T for the calculated purpose of blaming the Senate for the failed case the House Democrats didn't make, and to use prolonged Senate hearings with no evidence to smear Senate Republicans and win a Democrat Senate majority in the Nov 2020 election.
House Democrats knew they were NEVER NEVER NEVER going to impeach and remove Trump, but Democrats calculated kicking it to the Senate for long hearings with no evidence as a way for Dems to win the Senate.
But Senate Republicans cleverly didn't take the bait. And now it's over.

And by the way, it's Mick Mulvaney, not Muldavey.

The whole point was for House Democrats to trick the Senate into prolonged hearings. There was nothing to find by the House, so they rushed it through and kicked it to the Republican-majority Senate, and tried to trick the Republicans into months-long hearings where nothing will be found, BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO FIND!
It was a trick to blame the Republican Senate for their own Democrat-House failure.
And if the Republicans call Bolton and other witnesses, that just prolongs it, there's no evidence to find. And when nothing is found, Democrats just allege that Republicans shortened the hearings before anything could be found, whether the Republicans concede to 100 witnesses, 1,000 witnesses or 100,000 witnesses! The Democrat response to no evidence will always be Republicans are suppressing the truth, we need to see more witnesses. Again, a ploy to blame the Republican Senate for the House Dems' own failure, so they can use that lying narrative to gaain a Senate Democrat majority.

But Republicans wouldn't play that game, and it's over.

And a majority of Americans are glad it's over.

Despite your lying propaganda.
