After the House managers moved to have witnesses earlier today to have witnesses and before they flipped back to a deal not to have them, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) posted a hilarious Twitter thread about questions that would have been asked.

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.

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.)

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

Now that’s a good one!

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

— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 13, 2021

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

Oh, my, I think that I can’t stop laughing from that one. So perfect, because this really has been a witch hunt to try to get President Donald Trump for the past four years and now even after he is out of office.

Something tells me that Joe Biden and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) aren’t going to like these. Cruz also played the Pelosi card that Sen. Lindsey Graham played.

From Townhall:

“Pelosi can testify as to when she knew about the threats on the Capitol, what she knew specifically, and in particular, she can testify – we heard already that the House Sergeant-at-Arms turned down National Guard protection for the Capitol on Jan. 6 because ‘the optics.’ And I think Speaker Pelosi can testify as to whether she made a decision based on optics, based on politics, not to have additional protection at the Capitol to prevent the terrorist attack that played out,” Cruz said.

He said he still believes witnesses are unnecessary but if Democrats “open Pandora’s box,” things will go south for them.

Whoever was behind these questions gets a huge thumbs up.
