@RepJeffries You did good. But trump has the big club of big money. He bribes and threatens like the mafioso that he is... The sound of America going down the toilet...
Lawlessness matters.
Corruption matters.
Abuse of Power matters.
The President committed a high crime against the Constitution.
He must be held accountable.
Tomorrow, the U.S. Senate will confirm if we are a Republic governed “by the people, for the people” or a nation ruled by a tyrant beholden to a foreign enemy, who will grow more emboldened as he operates above the law and against U.S. interests. Everything is at stake.
If Trump is acquitted, he can call on foreign govts tomorrow to investigate every Democrat in our nation (and do so in secret). He can ask DOJ to target every Democrat as well, too. And his legal argument,voiced by his lawyer,is that there is nothing wrong with this. Buyer beware
The Framers of the Constitution would be horrified by the thought of a President whose abuse of power and obstruction of Congress would be covered up for political gain.
We can’t forfeit our duty to uphold the Constitution. Our democracy depends on it.
We need #WitnessesNOW.
@realDonaldTrump Donald, you are a biggot and a liar. You have cast shame over America. You are the demon leader of the intrinsically evil Republicans.
The question then is not whether the president did it, but whether the United States Senate or the American people should decide what to do about what he did. 8/15
A thought on Lamar Alexander:
His retirement is less relevant than you might think. Trump’s grip on the GOP has implications far beyond elected office. Lamar is looking forward to a life after politics — and he knows it will be complicated by any break w/ Trump over impeachment.
Lamar Alexander is a no on witnesses. We will likely only hear from John Bolton during the impeachment trial if he decides to do it on his own. Relying on CJ Roberts to break a tie if there are 3 other votes seems unduly optimistic.
If there is a desire and decision by the Senate to call Democratic witnesses, then at a minimum the Senate should allow President @realDonaldTrump to call all relevant witnesses he has requested.
Any fair minded person watching the Senate trial today would be able to see how unfairly I have been treated and that this is indeed the totally partisan Impeachment Hoax that EVERYBODY, including the Democrats, truly knows it is. This should never be allowed to happen again!
