hold a pre-trial hearing specifically on this one matter: the relevance of these (republican) witnesses? John Roberts will be the presiding judge. The Dems call witnesses to discredit the conspiracy theories the republicans are pursuing (there are many, including HR McMaster). Most if not all these witnesses would almost certainly be ruled irrelevant and the Impeachment trial could proceed without this distraction.

EDIT: Some of these witnesses are relevant and likely to be called anyway, like Volker and the WB's source witnesses. But Ohr? Hunter Biden? Give me a break.
