Alexander Statement on Impeachment Witness Vote (he's a no)
www.alexander.senate.gov ^ | 1/30/2020 | Senator Lamar Alexander

Posted on 01/30/2020 8:07:35 PM PST by CaptainK

“There is no need for more evidence to prove that the president asked Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter; he said this on television on October 3, 2019, and during his July 25, 2019, telephone call with the president of Ukraine. There is no need for more evidence to conclude that the president withheld United States aid, at least in part, to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens; the House managers have proved this with what they call a ‘mountain of overwhelming evidence.’ There is no need to consider further the frivolous second article of impeachment that would remove the president for asserting his constitutional prerogative to protect confidential conversations with his close advisers.

And Gilibrand, Harris and Booker. At least six Democrats with a conflict of interest.

But they’ll still vote on whether to remove the President. Zero chance they’ll recuse themselves...

And then they expected the Senate to do the work for them and take the heat.

There’s no way they would get 67 for either.

The Senate doesn’t do investigations. That’s the job of the House. You present your case and we’ll see what you’ve got.

He said he was inappropriate, but what he did was NOT impeachable. Read the whole article.

My only question now is who is Bolton going to sell his little book to? The Jonah Goldberg fan club perhaps?

Its a sin. The President can be wrong but its not a crime and doesn’t rise to the level of an impeachable offense.

You have a reading comprehension problem. Alexander will vote no on witnesses and for acquittal. Take it to the bank.

Good for you.

I spoke with a friend in Utah this evening and she said Romney is going to catch all sorts of hell.

However, there are at least two scenarios where Roberts may be called upon...

That's from a far-lefty journal. I don't think many hold this view.

Yes, I realized that after I read a few more comments. My apologies.

What’s weird is that I saw that interview and I didn’t even notice he said “convicted”!

That’s a bunch of Bull Obama.

That sounds like a pretty firm “no” to me. When I first read the excerpt I wasn’t sure.

I wish someone could find something definitive. Assuming that exists.

There's will be no tie. It's over. Cocaine Mitch sat down with Murkowski. Vote is no. No witnesses and no removal. Shoot earlier today, Kluxbuchar set up travel to Iowa for Saturday am. Everyone knows except for the people who can't let go of defeat here. All hail Cocaine Mitch. This is Kav victory all over again! 😎🤹‍♂️🐸🚀🎭
