Senators are set to take what could be the final vote in the ongoing impeachment saga of President Donald Trump. This up or down vote will determine whether or not the impeachment hearings will enter a new phase in which witnesses could be called to testify.

Calling of Witnesses

There has been much back and forth over who the witnesses would be. Democrats have been calling for White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and former National Security Advisor John Bolton to testify. They have been infatuated with what they refer to as the latest “bombshell” to drop following the leak from Bolton’s upcoming book entitled, “The Room Where It Happened, A White House Memoir.”

Republicans, on the other hand, have been after both Joe Biden and his son Hunter to testify should the vote to call witnesses be passed. Calling them to testify could only strengthen President Trump’s case against impeachment.

Doing so could verify the actual quid pro quo that took place when Joe Biden openly threatened to withhold aid unless prosecutor Victor Shokin who was investigating Burisma was fired. Burisma, the same company paying Hunter Biden approximately $80,000 a month to sit on the board despite having no knowledge regarding the natural gas industry.

Pelosi Calls for Continued Impeachment

The entire impeachment saga could finally come to a close Friday, January 31st. If the Senate votes down the proposal to call witnesses that would technically put an end to impeachment proceedings.

When faced with the question about how the Senate and Democrats would proceed if Trump is acquited tomorrow Speaker Pelosi not so eloquently skirts the issue. This leads one to believe that while the impeachment proceedings could technically come to a close, we may be seeing a never-ending impeachment saga carrying on for the foreseeable future.
