A Senate Democrat has called for the suspension of Donald Trump's impeachment trial in order to depose Senator Tommy Tuberville and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about their conversations with the former president during the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat and one of the 100 jurors in the trial, issued the call in a tweet late on Friday, one day before the trial was expected to conclude in an acquittal.
'Tomorrow just got a lot more interesting,' Whitehouse wrote, referring to reports that McCarthy lambasted Trump in an expletive-laden diatribe telling him to call off his mob of loyalists, and following Tuberville's admission that he told Trump that Vice President Mike Pence was being evacuated from the Senate.

WNU Editor: CNN is the network that broke this story .... New details about Trump-McCarthy shouting match show Trump refused to call off the rioters (CNN). The problem with this CNN report is that it is quoting "anonymous sources". Considering how wrong CNN has been in the past when it comes to anonymous sources, I will take this report with a grain of salt.
Bottom line.
This should have been brought up when the House prosecutors were making their case early this week. It was not.

What a joke
What if CNN is correct? Why?
Shampeachment is blowing up in the Democrats faces.
If they suspend it they think that the threat of it hanging over Trump;s head gives them spmething.
They will await the polls. The press make up and put out more bad stories and then when the poll numbers are low enough bammo. IIMPEACH!
Democrat leaders want a drip drip drip of propaganda, because the facts just are not there.
I hope Democrats do it. I hope they suspend the proceeding. I hope they put their dicks between the door and the jamb.
Now Cuomo. He might be impeached. That will be justice. That will be funny.
Cuomo being impeached and Newsome being recalled will be truth and justice on COVID, aggressive political war waged by the Democrats and governance.
CNN you say....
Anybody tired of winning ?
DemoFUCK Party is winning.
Newsome faces a recall election
Cuomo faces impeachment.
Election cases are still being heard. Democrats will cry real tears as they are frog marched away.
Today
Newsome still has job
Cuomo not facing impeachment today...Trump is
how many election cases being heard and where
stop smoking that shit
Recall elections take time.
- They have enough signatures
- They do not have to turn them in until in March
- They will keep collecting them so that Democrats cannot challenge them and aver that there are not enough signatures left.
- Newsome has flip flopped on lockdowns. He has lockdown when case load was low and reopened when they were high. So the guy's "Science" argument is pathetic.
Cuomo is being challenged by Democrats and Republicans. A week later and it is still in the news. This time an aide gave juicy details. If Democrats could have buried it they would have. They can't. And some don't want to. They want his job. So impeachment it is.
Anyway sucks to be you. You're pathetic. Game is changing and you are not.
81>74. SAD.
