Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski came out Friday against calling witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial, all but assuring the Senate will move to wrap up proceedings with a likely acquittal in a matter of days, if not hours.
“Given the partisan nature of this impeachment from the very beginning and throughout, I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate.

It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed,” said Murkowski, a key moderate senator who has been closely watched on the witness question.

Good. Call the vote. Let those turncoats Romney, Collins and Alexander twist in the wind.
Thanks for nothing.
That it’s not a tie isn’t that important, but matters. Good. Dems can’t claim it was a split.
Well she did “clarify” the fake news that she didnt LIKE Trump and even called him on the phone..
Good now END THIS NONSENSE ALREADY
Glad to hear it.
Alexander came out as a no last night. Collins as a yes.
Cautious optimism, but...
I’ll save my celebrating until the votes are counted.
Then, sadly, it will only be a matter of time for the Dems to start something anew. Bastards!
Glad to see that - but I wonder what her fee was?
More pork for Alaska? More “Bridges To Nowhere”? Appointing her recommendations for federal judgeships?
I’m afraid to find out...
Stop posting fake news about Alexander.
Thank you, Gerald Nadler, for offending her 32 minutes into this debacle. You guys were dead before you ever got out of the gate.
Has Toomey weighed in?
Watching dems groveling for witnesses. Just say NO and take the vote.
If McConnell did not intervene in 2010, we would not be worrying how Sen. Joe Miller R-AK would be.....Miller defeated Murkowski in primary but GOPE put together a Plan B write in campaign to re elect Murkowski...

She is doing this, because her Kavanaugh vote hurt her.
Alexander's intention to vote 'not' was reported last night and several times today. Has it been retracted or proven false?
