Trump impeachment

"There is no question in the mind of any American why this man's job is over, why this country now has one less soldier serving it at the White House. LTC Vindman was asked to leave for telling the truth."

America, where have all your leaders gone? Where are the people who don't just stand up for themselves, but stand up for the people who aren't even supporting them?

The acquittal of President Donald Trump prompted #AmericansFindTrumpGuilty and #ImpeachedPresident to trend on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.

President Trump shared a bizarre video suggesting he will be president indefinitely on Twitter shortly after he was acquitted in his Senate impeachment trial.

Today's vote will drive further concerns about the Senate's disproportionality and ability to adequately represent a fast-changing America.

News that Romney would split his votes to convict Trump for one of the articles of impeachment quickly riled the world of conservative politics. But the Republican senators' colleagues had his back.

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, niece of Utah Senator Mitt Romney who voted to convict President Donald Trump during Wednesday's impeachment trial, tweeted that "President Trump did nothing wrong and the Republican Party is more united behind him than ever."

"I believe the act that he took, an effort to corrupt an election, is as destructive on the oath of office as I can imagine."

The poll results from Gallup also show the president's approval rating broke records in terms of polarization.

Rep. Adam Schiff used his closing argument at the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump to ask GOP senators to join the "Davids who took on Goliath" by voting to convict.

"Obviously, you can't convict somebody if they control the flow of the evidence," Maine Independent Senator Angus King told MSNBC on Monday as he called the expected acquittal of President Donald Trump a "step towards authoritarianism."

"Joe Biden should be very careful what he's asking for," Senator Joni Ernst said.

"[Senators] have control over the proceedings," Schiff said. "And they could have insisted on witnesses and documents and for whatever reason, chose not to."

Jeffrey Toobin, CNN's chief legal analyst, said the fact that Republican senators chose not to hear from Trump's former national security advisor John Bolton was "an absolute travesty."

Fox News analyst Ed Rollins described Maine Senator Susan Collins as a "dead woman walking" after she voted to hear from witnesses in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial Friday. Collins "probably signed her death warrant today," Rollins said.

American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp publicly disinvited Utah Senator Mitt Romney from attending the 2020 Conservative Political Action Conference after Romney voted to hear new witness testimony in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

"If you don't have witnesses, you do not have a fair trial. The truth will come out," Sen. Amy Klobuchar tweeted.

Joseph Bondy, attorney for Lev Parnas, sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Friday, asking that his client be allowed to testify in the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

The revelation brings President Trump one step closer to becoming the third president in U.S. history to be acquitted of articles of impeachment. But that vote may not come until next week.

John Dean, a member of former President Richard Nixon's White House Counsel said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump's lawyer Alan Dershowitz "unimpeached Richard Nixon" with his most recent arguments defending Trump.

The outgoing senator's opposition to further evidence means that Democrats will almost certainly lack the votes on Friday to issue subpoenas for testimony from witnesses such as former National Security Adviser John Bolton.

"I respectfully urge the Senate to be guided by the rules of evidence," former Republican Senator John Warner said.

"There is no longer a rule of law in the United States Senate," former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance said.

During Thursday's Senate impeachment trial proceedings, President Donald Trump retweeted a number of his followers, including a regular contributor to Alex Jones' InfoWars.

A video released by the attorney of Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas Thursday shows Igor Fruman being greeted warmly by RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, before the indicted men mingle with President Donald Trump at a 2018 Mar-a-Lago event.

Neal Katyal, who served as the Acting Solicitor General, said that Dershowitz's defense of President Trump could set a dangerous precedence for future presidents.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said Wednesday that President Donald Trump is so "effective" that he could "probably cure the coronavirus and make China pay for it."

The National Security Council claims Bolton's manuscript contains both classified and Top Secret information. Bolton's lawyer doesn't think so.

The Trump defense attorney argued that, even if the president withheld aid from Ukraine to push for political probes, it's not impeachable because it's in the quest for reelection and is, therefore, in the public interest.

Conservative preacher Rodney Howard-Browne insisted Jesus would have physically attacked former National Security Adviser John Bolton for his supposed betrayal of President Donald Trump.
