Headline of @SenAlexander news is he’s a NO and the motion for new witnesses will likely fail.

And thus acquittal will come sooner rather than later.

Subhead: Alexander agrees Trump withheld US “aid, at least in part, to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens”

1/
2/ Alexander concurs that the House impeachment managers “have proved this with what they call a ‘mountain of overwhelming evidence.’...When elected officials inappropriately interfere with such investigations, it undermines the principle of equal justice under the law.”
3/ BUT he argues the “inappropriate” action “does not meet the U.S. Constitution’s high bar for an impeachable offense.” And he says if “this shallow, hurried and wholly partisan impeachment were to succeed, it would rip the country apart.”

Was asked what gives the Chief Justice the authority to refuse to read a question from a senator (as Roberts did with Sen Paul question about the whistleblower.

Good q!

2/ Former Senate Parliamentarian tells me: Article I, Section 3, Clause 6

"...When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside..."

Much there for the Chief Justice to decide at the time and in his discretion, with advice from counsel and others
ALSO: The Senate led by McConnell can always step in and overrule the Chief Justice by a simple majority vote.

It hasn’t.

2-"Just after midnight on Monday, Mr. Trump denied telling Mr. Bolton that the aid was tied to investigations. “If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book,” he wrote on Twitter, reprising his argument that the Ukrainians themselves felt “no pressure” and falsely
3-"asserting that the aid was released ahead of schedule. Over dozens of pages, Mr. Bolton described how the Ukraine affair unfolded over several months until he departed the White House in September. He described not only the president’s private disparagement of Ukraine but

D's in Congress have eagerly anticipated Obama appointee, Georgetown U alum's second IG report complaining that President Trump’s appointees believe there exists a #DeepState among the unelected career staffers that is determined to thwart the president’s agenda. #CoupCabal
2. State Department IG holdover's "urgent" briefing on the Hill is currently said to be devised to set new alarm narrative of "retaliation" against #DeepState Department D's. Cong Staffers are starting to exit the "classified briefing" w #Linick IG. #Anon
3. @AdamSchiff @RepCummings are trying to bully & intimidate @StateDept workers contacting them directly & telling them to not have lawyers (right out of McCabe handbook). @SecPompeo also confirms phone call. The D's are unhinged. #DeepState #PresidentialHarassment. #Linick #Q
