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.

Yup. Carl Bernsteins tears on CNN are no doubt delicious to behold.
Tie goes to the Chief Justice Roberts......
And Lamar, read the transcript. Trump neverr said Joe I believe.
He doesnt vote so it fails.

Haha. Love it but hate mittens. What is with the Mormon Mafia in politics. They are always on the wrong side of America.
IIRC, Joe Manchin is expected to be a no for witnesses.

What a load of Bovine Scatology.
This PHASE is over. Now the Dems will move on to milking every drop of “He’s been impeached” in the runup to November. We are going to hear it nonstop for almost eleven months.
Is Murkowski in favor or opposed? has Romney publicly taken a position?
He is not a member of the Senate.
No because theres no role for the Chief Justice in the Senate. Hes from a different branch of the government.
“has Romney publicly taken a position?”
Yeah, bent over for the establishment.
Alexander can vote to convict but hes finished in GOP politics. Good thing hes retiring...
Then Romney should get nothing of any value from the Republican Party, ever again. Draft dodging lowlife.
Watch the Dems try to change the rules so that a tie is unacceptable and votes must be taken until a majority is reached.
(Interview on Fox with Senator Cruz. At the end with the Fox newsperson signaling the interview end, Curz rushes to say that tomorrow it will be over and Trump will be convicted!!)
In the case of a tie He votes, there is no role for Pence here.
I think you meant acquitted
No rule of Impeachment is a tie is a failed motion
The VP would have a conflict of interest if he presided over a presidential trial of impeachment.
So thats why hes excluded from presiding over the Senate.
