Jim Inhofe: “Mr. Chief Justice, I have a question for the President's counsel, and I am being joined by Senators Rounds and Young.…”

“Mr. Chief Justice, I have a question for the President's counsel, and I am being joined by Senators Rounds and Young. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. The question from Senator Inhofe, joined by Senators Rounds and Young, is for counsel to the President: Even if additional witnesses are called, do you ever envision the House Managers agreeing there has been a fair Senate trial if it ends in the President's acquittal? Mr. Counsel SEKULOW. Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the Senate, the answer is no. Now, they will not agree that it is fair because what will happen is, if there is a discussion of witnesses and if we go to witnesses, Mr. Schumer has laid out the four he wants, and he tells me we could have anybody we want. The reality is that also includes documents, and that includes other witnesses that it may lead to. So, at some point, this body will say--because this cannot go on forever, and we will be at the election--this has to come to an end, and they will say: Aha, it has been brought to an end as we were about to get the key evidence. But what is so interesting here is they had 17 witnesses--that they had. When the hearing took place before the Judiciary Committee, if I am not mistaken, Manager Nadler, you had four witnesses at one point, when you had the law professors, and there were three law professors from the Democratic side and there was one from the Republican side.…”
