Follow live: Democrats make a case for removing Trump for abuse of power as his allies lobby GOP senators to oppose witnesses. Opening arguments in the impeachment trial continue now.

Republican Sens. James Lankford and Thom Tillis both defended President Trump after House managers laid out in meticulous detail his conduct that led to his impeachment.firing former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch

. He said that Trump was merely"frustrated" about facing the Russia investigation and was acting appropriately. He also said when asked about a subpoena for former national security adviser John Bolton or acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney that doing so would stretch out the trial to two to five months — rather than two to five weeks.It's unclear what Lankford's evidence is that a subpoena would stretch the impeachment trial into months.

Sources in communication with Senate majority Leader Mitch McConnell have said he wants this trial to last about 10 days. Under the current schedule laid out in the trial rules, if there's no witnesses or documents subpoenaed, the SenateWhen asked if he had any concerns with Trump’s conduct, Sen. Tillis, who is up for reelection this year, said:

“No. What concerns me is Mr. Schiff is spending most of his time saying, ‘Boy I wish I had more time to make my case.'”

this is the bigger problem with a crazy man what is and what he thinks p s republicans are putting trump in danger with helping him lie

Chandelis They took 24 hours (and three years) to present their case. It took two hours to shred it to pieces.

Longest ever 'infomercial' painfully ends yesterday. Guinness World Records

Lol all they did was open the floodgates o. The investigation into Biden

Almost busted my gut🤣w/the clip of Trump claiming to be the chosen one🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Sounds like the democrats are trying to save Joe Biden

The case without a crime you mean!!

Shifty shift says “right matters” and he is right...they should have accepted the 2016 election and worked to better America WITH us, not fight to undo what WE voted for with several attacks over three years, so Shift..just like 2016, you guys did not get this right....AGAIN....

What case I have not heard a thing that would constitute impeachment. This trial is nothing but a hoax. CNN is fake news. Dont believe a thing they say.

This a disgraceful! TrumpIsGuilty

It's obvious that the Republicans work for the corrupt by covering it! TrumpIsGuilty

More nonsense. The IRS targeting conservatives, the O admin spying on the Trump campaign THAT WAS ABUSE OF POWER. Talking to a foreign gov about investigating corrupt thieves in America (Biden’s) that’s presidential.

Do not vote for another republican again, they are liars and cheaters! Vote out every republican in November!

TRY they TRY

Impeachment of a president is always just shameful for the whole nation.

Awesome 💙💙💙💙💙💙

It is a BS political hit by dems and fake news.

Fake News. Again!

This country is fucked ...

Yawn Dems. Double yawn CNN

The Democrats don’t want a Witness Trade because Shifty Schiff, the Biden’s, the fake Whistleblower(& his lawyer), the second Whistleblower (who vanished after I released the Transcripts), the so-called “informer”, & many other Democrat disasters, would be a BIG problem for them!

Nope, heard the same BS over and over . No overwhelming case here. Schiff failed in the house, and his team is failing in the senate.

Not make 'a' case, make 'their' case. 2 very different meanings. Unless you're a Fake News organization trying to influence readers.

Democrat are the one one abusing power, wasting Tax money and they open the gate for more Crimes. Adam Shiff, just reveal his truthful own Characteristics. In reality besides being part part of Politics. All the words he spoke against our President. They is the real Adam Shiff.😳

How can anyone be dumb enough to believe anything that Pencil Neck says.

Is innocence or guilt a popularity contest? This is crazy. Sounds like jury tampering. WitnessesAndDocuments HoldTrumpAccountable NotAbovetheLaw

From Canada-would like to know WHY are the democrats not asking that a government that has a House & Senate plus a 100 different committees did the president have a PERSONAL lawyer in Ukraine...what other reason would he be there other than to act on his own personal interest!

If the U.S Senate, don't find the president guilty of something, Every other nation in the world will consider the American people deceitful! Remember this tweet. The WHOLE WORLD is watching and waiting. DoTheRightThing

Fake news

What case? there is none... Democrats digging their own grave

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

This is going nowhere. There's no point hyping it up like something that's yielding results or may yield results. IT IS GOING NOWHERE!!!PERIOD!!!

Shitshow

Lobbyists should not be allowed in a “trial”. Imagine a murder trial and having bastards saying the defendant is free if any wrongdoing.....

I truly don’t have time for this!

“Hearings Drone On As We Wait For Inevitable Acquittal.”

The Democrats need to quit with the hoax’s! America has had enough! Let the people vote and decide who we want for president!

If democrats can't even remove & extract POTUS from office as they intended, how do you expect them to accomplish anything else they are promising to achieve?

Clown show🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Waste of Time We already know that the Dems job is Biden/Obama cover up The Dems is the Coruption Party
