I just spoke on the Senate Floor about impeachment. I firmly believe the Senate itself is now on trial, and must not be complicit in a cover-up. Key withheld documents MUST be turned over, and critical witnesses with firsthand knowledge of events MUST testify.
Republicans now say we’ll follow the Clinton trial blueprint. Well, I was there then, in the room for the witness depositions, and I presided over the Lewinsky depo. Then, EVERY key witness, including Pres. Clinton, had already provided extensive testimony before the trial.
Today could not be more different. The president directed key witnesses like John Bolton not to cooperate. Bolton was in the room with the president, described the Ukraine efforts as a “drug deal,” and is NOW WILLING TO TALK if asked. How can the Senate not ask?
