From what I understand, the Senate would have to approve the witnesses. So, I doubt they would have approved these. It just would have looked bad when they approve all of their witnesses and didn't approve all of Trumps.
They realized they didn't have the votes now, and witnesses were not going to change the votes, and witnesses would only make them look bad, as they had no real witnesses or done any investigation or a clue about the law anyway.
Yep. Tactical error by Trump's lawyers to give away a potentially devastating call of Pelosi, DC mayor, and even Kamala to testify under oath.
Not really. Trials are super unpredictable. If you can close out a win, you ALWAYS take it.
yeah, this is the chess equivalent of risking your king for one of your enemie’s bishop

Dems wanted to call witnesses for weeks on end it appears. It was a lose lose for them either way.
Maybe we can subpoena Nancy when we camel toe

No doubt the dems would have denied Trump's list of witnesses. But that's the game they tried to play, so make them play it with Trump's chess pieces.
They noped out fast ... surprise.
