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

@SenatorDurbin

Senator Durbin likens addressing Republican conspiracy theories to whack-a-mole. #Impeachment @SenatorDurbin @NexstarDC

@ChrisCoons

Senator @ChrisCoons says the person who benefited the most from #Ukrainian conspiracy theories is Vladimir Putin #Impeachment @NexstarDC

@NewsNationNow

10 Democrat Senators signed this letter addressed to Sen. Lindsey Graham calling on him to state unequivocally that he will not consider any nominee to fill Justice Ginsburg's seat #RBG #RuthBaderGinsburg @NewsNationNow

The letter quotes Graham directly from 2016

1) “If there is a Republican President in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say ‘Lindsey Graham said let us let the next President, whoever it might be, make that nomination.’

2) And you could use my words against me, and you would be absolutely right.”

From President Trump's memo on defunding cities w/ social unrest "...it is imperative that the Federal Government review the use of Federal funds by jurisdictions that permit anarchy, violence, and destruction." @NewsNationNow #NexstarDC

@NewsNationNow

"Yes, the President is serious about this."-Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany got a few questions on this, mostly when pressed that the move is unconstitutional. POTUS does not have the authority to unilaterally withhold funds appropriated by Congress. #NexstarDC @NewsNationNow

@NewsNationNow

McEnany broke down what this White House memo tries to accomplish in 3 parts...The legal experts & members of congress we've spoken to today say this is unconstitutional and will almost immediately be met by legal challenges. #NexstarDC @NewsNationNow
