"SNIP.....

Sen. Mitt Romney told CNN that it’s “very likely” that he’ll be in favor of calling witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Trump, but won’t decide until after opening arguments.

New York Times: Lamar Alexander is GOP wildcard on witnesses.

And McConnell will deal with it. As long as Alexander stays in the fold, McConnell will let Rmoney run free. 51-49 is still a win.

Who'll get to be 49? Collins? Gardner? Murks?

not matter what mittens does. More bad things will come out and repubs won't care and won't remove him. They have power and care about nothing else.

There is no way anyone in the GOP would call a witness that has first hand knowledge of Trump’s crimes.
