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.

You’re correct. Scott is not in play. He is solidly for Trump as is our former atty.general, Pam Bondi.
Someone in Maine needs to announce TOMORROW that they intend to challenge her in the Republican primary.
Under a 50/50 vote the Republicans position wins. . . so no witnesses.
Thank you for a very sensible statement.
I wish the pearl-clutchers would go to bed already.
Unfortunately a senator can’t be recalled . Nonetheless , the nitwit loser is despised by more here every day .
Thanks for sharing that good news.
He’s nothing but a Democrat mole posing as a Republican/RINO.
We will get a few Dem defectors probably 3 but as far as OUR defectors go we can not forget and I PRAY the Trump supporters in Maine take care of this traitor once and for all!!!
Klobuchar already planning to go to Iowa? Lol. Kind of gives it away.
That was then; this is now. The Senate sets the rules, and apparently, at some point, the rule has changed, and the Chief Justice cannot vote. A tie is the same as a fail.
I now live in Utah. Guess who will never get my vote? Youll get it on the first try!
Understand, as this demonstrates, the Democrats were able to get two of their people nominated as the GOP candidate for president, McLame and Rumbley. It becomes all the more apparent why they go after Trump, because he is not part of the Deep State machine.
Is it to late to have a Republican challenger??
Justice Roberts’ role is very clearly stated Article 1 of the Constitution - the Senate has the sole power to try the impeachment,...when the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside. Not try, he is from a separate branch of government and does not have voting power.
Actually, I wouldnt be surprised if the President did link the aid with looking into Biden corruption. I see nothing wrong with that, even if some part of the reason was to damage Joe Biden, i.e., influence the election.
The president has said he did NOT. I believe him. He says the transcript proves it. Apparently, Lamar Alexander didn’t bother to watch the House proceedings, and see that the witnesses all offered their opinions only, and were witness to nothing. Shame on him for believing the lying House Managers.
Filing deadline for the primary is March 16.
PAGING GOV LePAGE.....Please pick up the Red courtesy phone!!
When you look at every president does things like this . It how you run a country. It would normally not be a big deal but the Deep State wants remove a president they cannot control. Wait tell Barr and Burr finish their investigations. That will be interesting.
Bull Stuff
They claimed to have proven it without one sentence on a sheet of paper as evidence.
Each witness was asked to name what high crime or misdemeanor they know that Trump committed. Crickets!
I don't like it when someone on my side stipulates things that are not true, even if they are trying to be snarky.
It's too easy for the public to take it the wrong way.
A Leftist could say Alexander just admitted Trump did something wrong.
I guess PAYING for a fake dossier to influence an election is just A OK!!! God I HATE THESE PEOPLE!!! During elections there is ALWAYS opposition research so why is this NOT OK???
