"Moral courage ... is harder ... when political careers are on the line."

@DougJones He did say he wished the House had continued to pursue more documents but that doesn't mean the evidence is insufficient.
"I will vote to convict," he says. This is the moment in history our founders envisioned -- when a failure to impeach was a greater risk to democracy.

@DougJones "It is simply a matter of right and wrong," he says, not of heros and non heros in this "chapter of history."
"Our country deserves better than this."

.@RepAdamSchiff anger now palpable:
"Can we be confident that he will not continue to try to cheat?" again in the election, he asks.
"The short, plain, sad incontestable answer is no, you can't. ... not for one minute.
"He will not change and YOU know it," he said to senators.

@RepAdamSchiff "What shall you say if Ukraine capitulates and announces investigations" into Trump's rivals.
"They'll (Russia) hack your opponents emails" and do other things to support YOU.
"This is the future that you will invite."

.@senatemajldr statement:
"A majority of the U.S. Senate has determined that the numerous witnesses and 28,000-plus pages of documents already in evidence are sufficient to judge the House Managers’ accusations and end this impeachment trial.

@senatemajldr There is no need for the Senate to re-open the investigation which the House Democratic majority chose to conclude and which the Managers themselves continue to describe as “overwhelming” and “beyond any doubt.”

@senatemajldr Never in Senate history has this body paused an impeachment trial to pursue additional witnesses with unresolved questions of executive privilege that would require protracted litigation.

final question! Q12 from Debra in New Jersey: Who pays for the president’s defense counsel during an impeachment trial? #AskACS #ImpeachmentTrials
(1/2) The President personally pays for his private lawyers. The government lawyers (from the White House Counsel’s Office) receive their government salaries, paid out of the Treasury. -NK #AskACS
(2/2) A President could set up a defense fund, but the contributions made to such a fund are problematic and can be a source of real or apparent corruption. So, managing such a fund can be very tricky. -NK #AskACS
NEW VIDEO: If there is one thing to take away from today's testimony in the #ImpeachmentTrials it is this: #Trump is the only president ever to be impeached for undermining U.S. national security.
