Subpoena Relevant Witnesses and Documents.

Since it appears Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and almost all the Republican majority in the Senate are likely to participate in the coverup, and would like nothing better than to vote yes on a motion for dismissal in order to block the impeachment trial, the big question now is whether or not the U.S. House will issue, and force compliance with, subpoenas. Yes, I said the House, rather than the Senate since so many Republican partisan senators plan to be complicit in the coverup.

Twice, when asked how he might vote on certain motions to subpoena Bolton, Mulvaney, other witnesses, and documents suppressed by the Trump administration, Senator Tillis (R – NC) refused to answer yes or no. Instead he responded irrelevantly, with complaints about the House impeachment process. Tillis is probably hoping that such deflections will not reflect poorly on him when North Carolina citizens vote in the fall. Still, all Americans and all who serve in government deserve the Senate to conduct a fair impeachment trial complete with facts, evidence, and relevant testimony. It is what is required by the Constitution to prevent dictatorship, now and in the future. It is necessary for maintaining a system of checks and balances.

Americans across the nation should be contacting their Senators to demand a fair impeachment and removal trial of Donald J. Trump. Otherwise, Americans will have a major Constitutional failure, and the world will lose the primary democracy in the modern world. Republicans in this age will continue to have a black mark for all antiquity, and President Trump can never be exonerated. To be impeached and not exonerated is 1000 times worse than being impeached but exonerated by facts, evidence, and testimony of relevant witnesses.
