Klobuchar: You can’t have a trial without witnesses. Bingo.

Yeah, but you can have a trial without testimony. That’s basically what a motion for summary judgment is. You have declarations/depositions and hard evidence and you make the determination based on that.

In this case, since the hard evidence has been entered into the record and doesn’t require authentication/foundation that you would need in a normal trial, there’s an argument to be made (not a good one, but one) that witnesses are not necessary. The record is complete and it shows that Trump is guilty as fucking sin.
