Bunch of "whereas" followed by:
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) calls on the House of Representatives, prior to proceeding any further with its impeachment in- vestigation into President Trump, to vote to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry;
(2) calls on the House of Representatives to provide President Trump, like every other American, with due process, to include the ability to confront his accusers, call witnesses on his behalf, and have a basic understanding of the accusations against him that would form any basis for impeachment; and
(3) calls on the House of Representatives to provide members of the minority with the ability to participate fully in all proceedings and have equal authority to issue subpoenas and other compulsory process.

Takes 34 votes to acquit.
Not disagreeing that Atkinson needs to go, just that the exact reason is one of stepping outside of his lane, not one of taking crap evidence and advancing it.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Shine the bright lights of a Senate committee hearing on these cockroach coupists and they will crawl back under their Deep State rocks. Graham knows that. Instead, he is choosing for whatever reason to enable the House Dems and their Deep State coup operatives.
linda, it has continued since you made that threat two weeks ago. Where are you?
Lyin’ Lindsay is a total fraud. Tucker played tape of him promising in January to “get to the bottom” of the FBI raid on Roger Stone. Never followed up. Graham threatened Comey in May. Nothing there, too. Really, how stupid does Graham think GOP voters are?

That means there are 17 votes to convict. They need three more.
FWIW, good defense attorney is not going to start arguing their defense until the prosecution has presented their complaint. There are a lot of reasons for this but chief among the reasons is that the defense does not want the prosecution aware of their own weaknesses. For example, what if the prosecutors in the OJ Simpson case were made aware that the defense was going to prove the glove did not fit?
Patience and let the process play out.
Impeachment is Built on a Trap That Obama Created for Romney

No, it means there are 17 that want to see which way the wind is blowing and possibly see if they can get something in return for their votes.
Yes, he does. That Atkinison was out of his lane (out of jurisdiction) is perfectly known to Graham. Graham instead is captive to the deep state / press operation that advances falsehood.
And when FISA abuse comes out, all he will do is try to finger a fall guy or two, and advance more laws - and he'll proclaim the issue is behind us, government is now cleansed, this can never happen again.
Total enabler of globalism. I detest the man.
Graham said he has 41 cosigners and growing at his press conference.
Little Marco and girlie man Cory Gardner both need to be primaried .
Yeah, well, that's when the prosecutor has asemblance of ethics. See Waco biker cases for a counterexample. Obviously innocent people ruined because the prosecutor could, and wanted to. Eventually, charges dropped.
I suppose you are okay-fine that Mueller had free reign? No sweat that baseless accusations are made the prominent publicity relating to Trump? Just let the process play out?
The number of false allegations that can be floated is adequate to preoccupy the presidency for its duration. And after, well, just drop it, and there, the process has played out.
Why don’t the Senate Republicans simply start their own investigative hearings, calling the same witnesses, and put them on television?
Tough guy? These resolutions don’t mean a hill of beans. One senator can put it up for a vote and one can close it down. He knows. People on this website should know this. He is major swamp, thats why he’s the Chairman. Nothing will get done.
Intramural quibbles are no way to fool the public into thinking it has a functioning government.
So when did Linda say hearings would start?
Please be specific as to the date Linda said hearings would start.
Those here who continue to support Linda, only enable him
to break his promises to the rest of us.
He's never given a date, only said that the Horowitz report into "FISA abuse" would trigger hearings.
Lindsey Graham: Horowitz will offer Senate 'chilling testimony' on FISA abuse
by Jerry Dunleavy
The Washington Examiner Magazine, Digital Edition
August 21, 2019
Graham confirmed the widely expected hearing on the "Wake Up Carolina!" radio show with Ken Ard earlier this morning. Graham said he'd call for Horowitz to explain his report to the American public in an open session, though he did not specify exactly when it might happen."He will come to the committee to testify -- the chairman -- and we'll make sure he gets all the time he needs to tell the country what happened," Graham said. "He will be in public. We want to do all of it that we can in the open. We don't want to have a classified session unless we have to."
The eventual ramifications will be naming a fall guy or three, and passing more pointless laws.
The real unelected government will remain in power (in fact, be made more powerful), and the elected puppets will carry on, laughing at the gullible public.
That's one option. Another plan would be for the Senate to wait and see if the morons in the House actually do anything. Chances are good they will never even schedule a vote to impeach. But if they do - Sentate Republicans should immediately vote to decline the remove of the President.
Either way - Trump wins.
Everything the Deep State has, all of its resources - girls, boys, money, K Street, threesomes, drugs, nondisclosure of Epstein material - all of it will be available to get to 19.
Count on it
