the house did call witnesses, they hauled out their favourite liars to spout opinions and fiction as part of the house preparation of the charges against POTUS. The Senate leg of the trial, should focus on what the dems gave to them, the house witness testimony and the 2x articles of impeachment is all that should be used to clear POTUS. A clear and unambiguous victory, then.... Then, using the evidence that the dems accidentally revealed, a military tribunal needs to be established to deal with the real treason that has been seen. I suggest a military tribunal, not a flaccid, toothless enquiry. The players are mostly government employees (The House & The Senate are on the Federal Payroll). Therefore they are NOT civilians.  As Lt Colonel Vindaloo pointed out, he is a military man (snigger) and he already said that POTUS was not adhering to the Vindaloo Policy regarding Ukraine. Morphing the impeachment trial into anything else is not a good idea. Otherwise there is a real risk of a long term circus that would offer the dems an opportunity to fill the room with smoke & mirrors.
