>> why has president trump from the time he was a candidate had such a friendly attitude towards russia unlike anything weve ever seen in modern times. and i dont think we know the answer to that. i think the day will come when we do and history will judge on those things, but it is the conundrum and what has led president trump to this sad state of being impeached? it is because at least in part because of his faith in russia and his willingness to attack ukraine. >> i think maybe thats more in...

Intelligence community, unanimous view in 2016 russia interfered to help him, and we also know there were trump contacts and associates and we know hes already asked both china and ukraine to help him in this election. he will go to any length, and we also know there are things we dont have information about which is what is he talking to vladimir putin about? what lengths will he go because clearly he does not feel constrained. it does not feel donald trump learns from these episodes and decide...

Know, the impeachment process that weve lived through in the past several months does not really suggest a softening or any cracking in a kind of partisan way that facts and evidence are being treated and interpreted in our national discourse. i mean, we just saw a completely partisan vote on impeachment on the question of what trumps call with the leader of ukraine was designed to do. i mean, and thats related, of course, to the russia story, to the russia saga. there is a reason that trump cal...

After president trump was impeached, vladimir putin gave remarks in moskow that, frankly, very closely followed president trumps denunciation of the whole impeachment process. it should concern my republican colleagues that their talking points and putins seem to be so familiar. president trump blocked any presentation of real evidence in his defense in the house. thats the grounds for the second article, the obstruction of congress which prevents the american people from gauging whether the pre...

Should convict him in the senate. >> you have been supportive of the impeachment process but are you definitely in this moment now a vote for removal in the senate at this point? >> no. and no one should say that they are. >> there have been other senators who are running for the democratic nomination as well who have said that they are ready to support removal now. >> they should speak for themselves. im hoping that as chuck schumer has been saying that the president who said his conversation w...

Books could be a lesson about the erosion of checks and balances in our modern age, or it could be a proud reaffirmation of those founding principles. this chapter in our history books could be about the overpowering partisanship of our times, or it could be about the senates capacity to overcome it. again, moments like this are why the united states senate exists. i yield the floor. >> youve just seen there two contradict reviews of the role of the senate in this impeachment process. both the m...
