Day two for House Democrats presenting their case in the impeachment trial of President Trump. Republican Jason Lewis, a former congressman running for U-S Senate says, “No one’s disputing any of the facts. The only question is, was a law broken? And the House managers couldn’t come up with saying a law was broken. Abuse of power is a nebulous thing that would have indicted *any* sitting president.”
Republicans are resisting Democrats’ push for witnesses at the impeachment trial, and Senator Amy Klobuchar told C-N-N that while she was listening to Wednesday’s open arguments, “I just kept looking at my colleagues thinking, are you listening? This is wrong. We at least need to have the witnesses and the evidence.” Klobuchar added a number of Republicans “have said that they are open to witnesses — not many of them — and I just hope they do it.”
The GOP-controlled Senate will likely acquit President Trump. Former Lieutenant Governor Michelle Fischbach, a Republican now running for U-S House says, “I think it vindicates the president in a way but, in addition to that…, it gets it done with and we can move on and actually do some work.” But Senator Klobuchar says “zero witnesses plus zero documents, equals zero justice.”
