Excerpts from article:
...WASHINGTON, DC - House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff argued on Tuesday that a refusal by the Senate to agree to Democrats' demand to allow new witnesses and evidence in the impeachment trial without a vote would deem President Donald Trump guilty regardless of the verdict.
...In other words, if the Republican-led Senate does not carry out the impeachment trial the way the Democrats want it to, Trump will be considered guilty even if the upper chamber acquits him.
...If the Senate and the senate leadership will not allow the calling of witnesses or the presentation of documents, If McConnell makes this the first impeachment trial in history without witnesses or documents, it will not prove the president innocent.
...Speaking from the Senate's floor on Tuesday, McConnell noted that the resolution that lays out the rules for how Senators will carry out the impeachment trial allows for a vote on whether both parties can introduce new evidence and witnesses.
