CNS: “They said in their brief, ‘We have overwhelming evidence’ – and they’re afraid to make their case,” White House counsel Pat Cipollone incredulously noted Tuesday, chiding Senate Democrats’ demands for more witnesses and investigations in the Senate impeachment trial judging House Democrats’ impeachment case against President Donald Trump.
In his Senate remarks in defense of Trump, Cipollone said that any court in the nation would throw out a case “in two seconds” if a prosecutor told a judge his evidence was “overwhelming,” but he couldn’t proceed because it wasn’t enough:
“Think about it, think about it. It’s common sense: overwhelming evidence to impeach the president of the United States – and, then, they come here on the first day, and they say, ‘You know what? We need some more evidence.’
“Now, let me tell you something. If I showed up in any court in this country and I said, ‘Judge, my case is overwhelming, but I’m not ready to go yet. I need more evidence before I can make my case,’ I would get thrown out in two seconds.
“And, that’s exactly what should happen here. That’s exactly what should happen here.”

no wonder Schiffless wanted him removed
Impeachment in search of a clue
In order for the prosecution to call a witness in court, first the prosecution has to KNOW that the individual is a witness. For all intents and purposes Schiff doesn’t know these people he wants to call even are witnesses to anything at all.
What he wants to do is completely arbitrary. The limiting principle to the meaning ‘witness’ in a court is that the individual is a known documented witness. Schiff wants to have no limiting principle to who he calls as a witness.
He doesn’t know if they are witnesses to anything or not. It’s all completely arbitrary. He might as well call everyone in the administration in as witnesses. Even the people in the mailroom.
also, Schiff used phone conversations that were illegaly obtained & presented as evidence
