“...They testified against the President of the United States in favor of his removal. ...”
They made it clear that as employees of the federal government who are charged to work for the elected administration that they obviously do not agree with the goals of the administration. At a different time in history, these people would have resigned on principle, respecting the voters and America’s way of governing itself. No more.
