Articles to this impeachment resolution they brought before us, abuse of power and obstruction of justice, and lets review both. on the first, the democrats know there is zero direct evidence in the record of these proceedings to show that president trump engaged in any scheme of any kind as theyve alleged or that he intended in his dealings with ukraine to influence the 2020 election. all theyve argued today is based on hearsay, speculation and conjecture completely. the truth is theres not a s...
