As the Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump continues, the Republican Party, behind Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, continues to work a cover-up. Americans everywhere are fed up with the transparent abuses of power of the conservative-led Senate, and #WeWantWitnesses has begun to trend on social media.

And the theatricality resulting from McConnell’s creation of a fiction to hide the facts increases.
xLev Parnas just showed up in Washington DC and per MSNBC reporting he will be sitting in the gallery of the Senate trial today. This is Godfather II stuff! Hoping his presence makes senators ask why isn’t he being called as a witness?! #WeWantWitnesses

And while all of this is going on, the White House, after saying that John Bolton’s book didn’t matter, is making a legal play because … it seems to matter.
xWho cares about John Bolton’s book? Bolton *must* testify about #Ukrainegate UNDER OATH.#WeWantWitnesses #BoltonMustTestify https://t.co/pGEcPCr1Ms
