Do the Democrats know how this works? The House plays prosecutor and the Senate plays judge and jury. The prosecutor is supposed to investigate all the fact before the case is ever brought to court. What prosecutor would schedule a court date and arrived to announce that the case needed more evidence? The vote to impeach in the House was supposed to be the completion of the investigation. By voting to impeach, the House declared that sufficient evidence and testimony had been uncovered to merit the removal of the president. However, now in the Senate, there are calls to examine witnesses who did not appear in the House. That would be a continuation of the investigation rather than a trying of the case. Why didn't the House simply investigate longer? The entire foundation of the obstruction of Congress charge is based on the House not pursuing remedies in the courts. The President can't have executive privilege during impeachment hearings? If so, executive privilege would always be nixed by the House declaring all hearings to be for impeachment.
The House had hearings and heard testimony. That is what should be presented and nothing else. That is the case they voted out of the House. If it isn't enough, tough. Be more thorough next time, which may very well happen before the election. Trump may be the first president with multiple impeachments.
