As we told you earlier, the U.S. Senate has voted 55-45 to allow witnesses at the impeachment trial for former President Trump.
Sen. Ted Cruz provided this quick update as to what’s going on now:
Thread: Chaos at the impeachment trial.
Dems had agreed to know witnesses, then House Managers changed their mind this morning.
Schumer blindsided. Pandemonium. They’re negotiating now to figure out next steps.

Since the trial is going to drag on days or weeks longer, Cruz provided some entertainment to fill in the time:
2/x While we’re waiting to figure out what’s next, I thought I’d share some of the Qs in the pile that DIDN’T make the cut to be asked yesterday. (These are all real, from various senators, who will remain anonymous.)

It would have been hilarious if these questions would have been allowed (as if):
3/x Q1: “Where’s the short, fat guy?”
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 13, 2021
4/x Q2: “Can we build the Keystone Pipeline if we add Hunter Biden to the board?”

5/x Q3: “To Manager Swalwell: Tell us about Fang Fang.”

6/x Q4: “(generic) Have any of the House Managers had sexual relations with a Chinese communist spy? Please explain.”

7/x Q5: “If we put him in a burlap sack & throw him in the river, and he does not float, must we convict?”

LOL. Presiding “judge” Sen. Pat Leahy didn’t want to allow those questions? Shocker!
