Sen. Doug Jones (D., Ala.) said much of the Ukraine whistleblower complaint depended on "hearsay" and that Congress cannot impeach officials based on hearsay during a Sunday interview on MSNBC's Kasie DC.
Jones broke with House Democrats when he criticized the whistleblower allegation that launched the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. The first-term senator said he was skeptical of using secondhand complaints as the basis for removing a sitting president from office, echoing the sentiments of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.).
"A lot of that allegation, a lot of the whistleblower complaint is in fact hearsay. It is what other people have told him. That is clear on its face. I think Senator Graham was right, you don't impeach somebody based on hearsay," Jones said.

That’s part of it, hearsay
The other part is it’s BS hearsay
you don’t impeach somebody based on hearsay,” Jones said
Doug feels the heat in Bama.
Looks like Jones wants to keep being a Senator.
Boy will he get slapped for going off the reservation. Bravo to him for the courage to speak the truth.
That was my first thought too
Anyone know about this? By-the-way....Quid Pro Quo Joe must be investigated ASAP! Has anyone seen Hunter or heard from Hunter Biden lately? Strange.....
He probably has permission to be off the reservation to get re-elected in AL. But if the cold day in hell actually arrives and he is, in fact, re-elected, he will be back on the reservation toting water for the Rats the very next day. For the Rats, no lie is too big to tell to get elected.
Looks like Jones wants to keep being a Senator.

It’s still not going to work out for him.
If he didn’t represent a red state, he’d never be saying this.

Sen. Doug Jones to launch 2020 campaign in Birmingham on Sunday
SEPTEMBER 6, 2019
he can be sane all he wants to; he’s toast in november.
well, as long as the republicans don’t nominate another weirdo.
Our Democrat senator, Kyrsten Sinema is in all kinds of trouble for voting to affirm Trump appointments.
OH...DOUG JONES, NOW HE WOULDN’T BE JUST SAYING THIS TO WIN THE SENATE SEAT HE STOLE, WOULD HE???
By God, dims really have the slimy market cornered, don’t they?
Glad to hear this.
Jones voted against Kavanaugh. They expect us to forget that.
Bingo!
Careful. You’re going to draw out the Roy Moore nuts.
Why doesn’t an un-named whistle blower come forward with 2nd and 3rd hand knowledge that Joe Biden and his son conspired to enrich themselves personally through Joe Biden’s position.
He never would have to be named and would forever remain anonymous due to perceived 2nd hand threats on his life. All that’s necessary to prove this is a letter.
Actually, I was thinking...Mayor Pete could be the whistle blower. He could blow Joe right out of the race. So could others too.
they’ll be here anyway. I’m surprised there isn’t already a screeching subthread about how it’s everyone’s fault that moore got beat except roy moore’s.
