Schumer Falsely Claims There Have Been 'No Witnesses, No Documents' During Impeachment

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was noticeably outraged by the Senate's vote Friday against compelling more witnesses and documents, calling it a "Tragedy on a very large scale."

"No witnesses, no documents in an impeachment trial is a perfidy. It is a grand tragedy. One of the worst tragedies that the Senate has overcome. America will remember this day" Schumer added.

The only real tragedy was the mockery that House Democrats made of their impeachment inquiry when Adam Schiff refused to allow Republicans to call any of their own witnesses.

Let's examine the "No documents, no witnesses" lie further.

Jenna Ellis, a constitutional law attorney and the senior legal advisor to the Trump 2020 campaign, destroyed the Schumer lie by breaking down impeachment by the numbers on Twitter.

Does that look like "No witnesses, no documents" to you? Who really blocked witnesses, Republicans or Democrats? Schumer should direct his anger at House Democrats for botching their impeachment.

The only tragedy here is that Democrats put us through a sham, partisan impeachment and wasted time that could have been spent doing the business of the American people.
