Here is the excuse:
WHAT TRUMP DID WAS WRONG, BUT IT'S NOT BAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT REMOVING HIM FROM OFFICE.
John Cornyn, Lamar Alexander, and Rob Portman have already essentially said this. When it comes time to vote on impeachment, almost all of the Senate Repugs will be saying it.

Also, release the PUTIN meeting transcripts **NOW**.

(82,849 posts)What would Senators Cornyn, Alexander and Portman consider a serious enough crime for Trump to be removed from office? Because whatever they answer, there's a pretty good chance Trump has done it.

Anywho, I feel pretty confident that t-rump is going down, hopefully with kiss arse Pence and criminal Barr.
Side note: get t-rump to answer questions under penalty of perjury. Pres Clinton lied under oath regarding a "blow job".
t-rump lies just because.

(34,125 posts)email, comments when they come home. If they think they will lose if they do not vote for impeachment and removal from office there are many who will vote for it. Some will not, we need to make sure they lose.
We need to work hard and lay the pressure on. We CAN do this.

They should charge him with all the abuses of power and obstruction of justices charges that were found by the Special Counsel, that were discovered under oath and penalty of law.

(9,670 posts)I'll tell you what kind: a corrupt and irresponsible jury. And these are Senators. How dare they.
The GOP ought to be brought up on racketeering charges. They pretend this is all political, because that's all it ever is and was with them.
Fuck them. They belong in Russia with the Russians.

(588 posts)Even if there are more articles of impeachment, it won't matter. The Repugs will just say that none of them are serious enough to warrant Trump's removal.
