And time again to believe that he is above the law. and he has no respect for our constitution or our democracy. based on all that we know about donald trump, we could we could predicted he would have abused the power of the president by corruptly soliciting the government of ukraine and ukrainian president zelensky to publicly announce investigations into his political opponent, former vice president joseph r. biden. this impeachment resolution includes evidence that this president withheld $39...

Power. what a joke. they abuse their office to illegally wiretap and spy on president trumps campaign. now, they accuse him of abusing his office. what a joke. they structure these proceedings to deny the president and republicans in congress a fair hearing. then they accuse the president of obstructing congress. look in the mirror, folks. the reaction of the american people that this is contrived and corrupt was entirely predictable and is entirely correct. the polls have turned against em and ...

President whether the evidence is there or not. i suppose i shouldnt be surprised by any of this. democrats in the house vsh pushing to impeach president trump since before he was even sworn in. in december of 2017 when a current democratic member of the house forced a vote on impeachment resolution, 58 democrats voted then to impeach t president trump even without an investigation, without any evidence to point to, and those numbers have only grown since then to the point where the majority is ...

Lieutenant kerj alexander vindman and dr. fiona hill, the presidents aggressive and unprecedented commitment to congressional subpoenas for witnesses and documents is blatantly and dangerously unconstitutional. if accepted and normalized now, it will undermine perhaps for all time the congressional impeachment power itself which is the peoples last instrument of constitutional self-defense against a sitting president who behaves like a king and tramples the rule of law. by obstructing an impeach...

Look, we can have plenty of time to talk about the articles and the very vague articles that we did. its pretty interesting if you read the report from the majority. a lot of discussion about crimes but they couldnt find it to charge one. again, common sense. articles -- when you think about impeachment, youre thinking about impeaching a president for crime crimes. this majority has tried so hard to be like clinton and nixon and failed so ms. rahbly. every time we try, we try once again, except ...

Chairman, but this is a day where were going to disagree and disagree very strongly. it is, as you referenced, mr. chairman, a sad day, sad day for me personally, for the rules committee, for the institution of the house and for the american people. were meeting today on a rule for considering articles of impeachment against a sitting president of the united states on the floor of the house of representatives. this is not the result of a fair process and certainly not a bipartisan one. sadly, th...

Like. in federalist 65, alexander hamilton wondered, quote, where else than in the senate could have been found a tribunal sufficiently signified or sufficiently independent to serve as a court of impeachment? what other body would be likely to feel confidence enough to preserve unawed and uninfluenced the necessary impartiality? my colleagues, lead are mcconnell, are you in alexander hamiltons words unawed and uninfluenced to produce the necessary impartiality, or will you participate in a cove...

Heidi, there are, i believe, more than 30 house democrats who sit in districts that president trump won in 2016. most of these swing district democrats over the last few days, nearly all of them have said they are going to be voting yes on impeachment. what do we know about the kind of pressure that these democrats specifically are facing back at home? >> we saw yesterday in the town hall that we covered live from alyssa slotkin, she is one of the democrats who i was told by republicans really h...

Presidential abuse of power. never before if american history has an impeachment investigation crystallized in findings of conduct that implicate all of the major reasons that the framers built impeachment into our constitution. mr. chairman, the conduct we set before you today is not some kind of surprising aberration or deviation in the presidents behavior for which is remorseful. on the contrary, the president is completely unrepen tent and defy antily declares his behavior here perfect, inde...

The end of the day that the president will remain in office. and for what? scoring political points with their partys base? again, mr. chairman, this doesnt make any sense to me. we didnt need to go this route. we didnt need to push forward on a partisan impeachment process that had only one possible result. but we are here anyway, regardless of the damage it does to the institution and regardless of how much further it divides the country. as i said at the beginning, mr. chairman, this is a sad...
