As democrats unveil two articles of impeachment this morning, all speakers from Pelosi to Nadler to Schiff continue to use words like solemn, reluctant to describe the process that led them to today #NexstarDC
“The argument why don’t you just wait amounts to this: why don’t you just let him cheat in one more election.” -Adam Schiff #NexstarDC
“Our oath means something to us.” -Schiff. Once again we heard the statement that the facts are uncontested. Seemed to be a prominent theme in the last two #ImpeachmentHearings & from interviews i had w/ Dems afterwards #impeachment #NexstarDC
Timeline on #impeachment from presser we just heard sounds like by the end of the week judiciary will be working to vote articles out of their committee. Didn’t seem like we’d see a full House vote this week #NexstarDC
Just spoke to Senator Kennedy (R) Louisiana about #ArticlesOfImpeachment -says it sets a precedent. He told me the next time a Democrat is elected President, half the country who didn’t vote for him/her will demand they be impeached bc of #TrumpImpeachment #Impeachment #NexstarDC
Republican Senators, led by Mitch McConnell make the point that #impeachment takes away resources/political capital to do other things like #USMCA -familiar point this week from the GOP #NexstarDC
McConnell not answering directly whether he favors a longer vs. shorter Senate #Impeachment trial #NexstarDC
McConnell says he’d be “totally surprised” if 67 senators, the threshold for removal of a president from office, vote to remove President Trump #impeachment #NexstarDC
“We have not heard any rebuttal.” -Sen Chuck Schumer on Articles of Impeachment toward President Trump, says Republicans have resorted to conspiracy theories instead of defending Trump’s conduct #Impeachment #NEXSTARDC
Sen. Durban says during #impeachment trial, party will be “dignified, orderly and will show mutual respect” #NexstarDC
Senator Durbin likens addressing Republican conspiracy theories to whack-a-mole. #Impeachment @SenatorDurbin @NexstarDC
Senator @ChrisCoons says the person who benefited the most from #Ukrainian conspiracy theories is Vladimir Putin #Impeachment @NexstarDC
