It IS NOT the Senates place to do the job that the House was supposed to do.
Got that?
Are you suggesting the United States Senate has no oversight role over the executive branch? Interesting theory.
IT IS THE JOB of those who bring the articles of impeachment to investigate and write them. IT IS THE JOB, of the Senate to sit AS THE JURY to hear the EVIDENCE BROUGHT by those who wrote those articles...being the House of Reps, whose sole responsibility is to Impeach, and the Senate to convict.
We are NOT talking about what oversight the congress has over the executive branch at normal proceedings so quit trying to side step the issue.
THIS IS AN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. And a Effin sick one at that.
