Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) on Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” described President Donald Trump’s actions in dealing with Ukraine and the military aid authorized by Congress as “improper.”
Alexander said, “Well, if you have eight witnesses who say someone left the scene of an accident, why do you need nine? The question for me was, do I need more evidence to conclude the president did what he did? And I concluded no.”
He continued, “I think he shouldn’t have done it. I think it was wrong. Inappropriate was the way I’d say, improper, crossing the line. And then the only question left is who decides what to do about that.”
He added, “The people is my conclusion.”
He concluded, “I think what he did is a long way from treason, bribery, high crimes, and misdemeanors. I don’t think it’s the kind of inappropriate action that the framers would expect the Senate to substitute its judgment for the people in picking a president.”

The GOP is hopeless....
Trump better change the name after the next election...
Lamar is showing his DS leanings. Unfortunately for him there are those who are watching everyone and these remarks will be used against him.
FULA
Why is he mouthing DNC lies? Especially after all we’ve seen these last few weeks
They weren’t improper when the last 44 Presidents did it.
I wonder if Lamar! has any dealings with the Ukraine too...
Careful........ya walkin a thin line Lamar.
Bush League Republicans are making themselves extinct.
We should help them along in the primary should they not do the right thing and retire.
It’s entirely appropriate for Trump to want to see corruption investigated.
Lamar’s an idiot.
Its only “Improper” when a Republican does it..Obama spied on the Trump campaign and that was fine and dandy..Obama used the IRS to target Conservative groups and that was A OK
The Standard is high crimes and misdemeanors
If it was improper or crossing a line that doesn’t begin to rise to that standard so why not just STFU?
One can agree the President committed a political sin. A sin isn’t a crime let alone an impeachable offense.
President Trump deserves to be acquitted on both articles of impeachment.
I never liked that bastard. This statement merely confirms my negative opinion of this scumbag.
Lamar knows his day, as well as the day of the milquetoast “go along to get along” Republican are at an end.
Lamar Alexander is sold out to the Deep State.
A very thin and dangerous line. These people are not as insulated as they used to be.
What was this "sin"? Eliminating corruption in our government and Ukraine's?
Someone should ask him why obama was never called out for his “more flexibility with Russia after the election” comments?
He’s leaving!
Who cares what yesterday’s news says!
He’s just demonstrating his irrelevance.
