So this is a serious question. I feel like I dont understand something on this impeachment. Why are the Democrats screaming for witnesses, didnt they have their shit already in the house? Why didnt they call people like Lev Parnas why they had their chance? I understand much of it is to embarrass the president and make him look uncooperative but in a serious question why didnt they call all these people when they were in control?

Because they didn't want to litigate the obvious privilege claims in court (that would take a while and would be playing by the rules) so they figured there were 4 or 5 weak Rs in the Senate that would submit to political blackmail and let them pull their bullshit in the Senate. Kavanaugh. Same targets exactly, except for Flake, who is long gone.
And, Feinstein bullies Murkowski for some reason. So, they figured her for cooperation, and it looks like they might be right. Her problem is she will get no money from the Party if she doesn't march with the drummer... McTurtle.
