Opinion: It is hard to capture how bizarre and frightening Trump’s letter to Pelosi is
to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi . It is difficult to capture how bizarre and frightening the letter is simply by counting the utter falsehoods , or by quoting from the invective dripping from his pen.
What is most striking is the spectacle of the letter itself — a president so unhinged as to issue such an harangue; a White House entirely unable to stop him; a party so subservient to him that it would not trigger a search for a new nominee; a right-wing media bubble that will herald Trump for being Trump and excoriate Democrats for driving the president to this point; and a mainstream media not quite able to address a public temper-tantrum .
On one side, Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer points out in a floor speech that McConnell did not provide “a single sentence — a single argument — as to why the witnesses I suggested should not give testimony. Impeachment trials, like most trials, have witnesses. To have none would be an aberration.” Schumer points out that"the American people want the truth, and that’s why we have asked for witnesses and documents, to get at the whole truth and nothing but.
On the other side, McConnell bizarrely says a trial is not about getting to the truth."If House Democrats’ case is this deficient, this thin, the answer is not for the judge and jury to cure it over here in the Senate,” he said. “The answer is that the House should not impeach on this basis in the first place.” Actually, trials are where all available and relevant evidence is put forth.
