@LindseyGrahamSC what happened to this man that stood on the floor of the U S Senate on January 16th, 1999 and said "You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official 1/5
is clearly out of bounds in your role. Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”? You read the recollection of the Ukraine call, and you know things were left out 2/5
because it's not verbatim. You clearly see an abuse of presidential power by an individual. You know that a president asking for help from a foreign country to assist in an election and obtain information on a political rival for personal gain is collusion. Where is your 3/5
honor and your integrity in the office that you were elected to, sir? Where did that man from 1999 go? You and your colleagues that turn a blind eye have more to lose in the long run because a president only has 4 to 8 years in office. How much longer will you and your 4/5
colleagues be afforded? What side of history will you be on? Will the man from 1999 stand tall again now, or will he be a footnight on a list of names that supported a president that abused his power and tore the country and constitution to shreds be your legacy? 5/5
