At least some of the Democrats chosen to be House impeachment managers are former state or federal prosecutors. So I have to think they got a hearty laugh out of a threat made by Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) in a television interview Monday night.

Graham is warning Democrats against calling any witnesses when the Senate impeachment trial of former president Trump kicks off next week.
