This is how the day is unfolding. Please refresh for updates.Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., one of the lead House impeachment managers takes the floor after Schiff to begin outlining the charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
"The president's conduct is wrong. It is illegal. It is dangerous, and it captures the worst fears of our founders and the framers of the Constitution," Nadler says."No president has ever used his office to compel a foreign nation to help him cheat in our elections. Prior presidents would be shocked to the core by such conduct, and rightly so.
But first he offers some humor, possibly referring to reports of restless senators talking and walking around the chamber -- and some leaving. Then he outlines how House managers will go through the first article and what he says are the constitutional underpinnings of abuse of power. "The point is: let's see what the other side says then we'll make a decision about what the president actually did or didn't do," he adds."All I can do tell you is it from the presidents point of view, he did nothing wrong, in his mind."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks to the press ahead of opening statement in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, at the U.S. Capitol, Jan. 23, 2020, in Washington, D.C.
It did unfortuantely leave us stuck with a president who abused his power (ignored congress on numerous occasions)...Obama. And it also leaves us stuck with members of Congress who abuse their power. But it's not the constitution, it's the unwillingness to remove these bs'ters
Whoever tells a lie is not pure of heart, and such a person can not cook a clean soup. Ludwig van Beethoven
He’s right. That’s why the most a person can serve in the Presidency is 8 years. Abuse by HouseDemocrats of impeachment is just that—abuse.
Disgusting comments by Nadler
No,that's for the dems exclusively. Schiff proved trump didnt abuse his power when he read the real call transcripts today.there was no mention of Biden in either transcript & trump did discuss corruption. Goes against everything they have said in their evidence & talking points
The DNC are a bunch of corrupt liars. Why aren't you bolshevik editors reporting on the illegal spying by Obama on Trump. Wow.
Talk about “gilding the lily”
GREAT JOB DEMOCRATS!! My God the World just watched Trumps corruption! We know republicans will Acquit but WE KNOW TRUMP is CORRUPT!
These Managers Are SO COMPELLING .. truly has made me PROUD to be an AMERICAN! 🇺🇸 God bless

DemocratsAreCorrupt Vindman is corrupt!! WakeUpAmerica he is part of the coup the dude is crazy!!
ansue67 I'm glad to see Senator Blackburn receive the credit she so richly deserves. Sad to say that she's our junior senator.
Blackburn
We -- all Americans -- need to see this baseless bashing of a true American veteran as a reminder that we're being distracted from the truth -- Trump is being protected for the sake of job security and party allegiance. They lash out when their words are empty or mere fabrication
Marsh Blackburn is low life who never served in military and has no honor and is scum from Tennessee
JoMajority This excrescence Blackburn should be drummed out of any office of political influence or power. Damn her.
MarshaBlackburn you are a disgrace to your state. Resign and let someone with dignity and class take your seat. TrumpImpeachmentTrial truth
Vindman salutes his socks after he puts them in their drawer
Oh look, it's Marsha! She helped our opioid addicts get their drug. Did you see the 60 minute program about her & Marino?
FakeNewsMedia deviding the country more every day.
Hello! HillaryClinton did exact same thing to TulsiGabbard. And I'm listening to all the Democratic senators in news conferences every day slamimming republicans. WTF is wrong with you? FakeOutrage Stupid thread.
Vindman is a partisan hack, nothing more
I did not cast my vote in Tn for this. Trashing a military leader will require some answers here at home.
Vindman is lower than pond scum
If the shoe fits he should wear it. He’s a traitor.
🤣Analysis of Mr. 'Ukraine First' Lt. Co. Alexander Vindman's testimony during the Schiff 'Impeachment' Show. BTW: Vindman was born in Soviet Ukraine, he disparaged America & Americans to Russians & was asked 3 times to be Defense Minister of Ukraine😬
ArrestMarshaBlackburn
Vindman is no hero
MarshaBlackburn has been reading a novel during the proceedings. I find her disgusting.
VicePresOfFun Blackburn is worse than a dog with rabies. Veterinarian said this is one the worse cases of rabies in the senate.
VicePresOfFun Marsha Blackburn has gone all Martha McSally. They're full-on *Trump. TrumpIsGuilty
MarshaBlackburn Should not be allowed back in
Perfect response.

Who vote for these assholes?
Did marsha serve in the military?
Vindman has no honor.
MarshaBlackburn just got 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 deservedly by counsel for Lt Col Vindman. ImpeachAndRemoveTrump
He is a good man and Patriot!!!
There’s no evidence that one sane person believes a word this cockwomble says
There is... lets ask Hunter and his corrupt father
Huh
There’s also no evidence realDonaldTrump committed a crime by temporarily withholding AID to Ukraine...
Schiff is a complete and total liar. Fact
Putin is a religious man, but don't lie to the American people --- Trump has nothing to do with this fact.
Vladimir Putin is only an enemy to us if we make him one, which is what we have been doing for the last 15 years.
Adversary? Oh please. If the cabal didn’t manufacture ‘enemies’ they’d all be out of a job. The only bloodless pathway to their One World Government is by apathetic consent. I DO NOT CONSENT to the assertion that Russia is the enemy of the west or even the US for that matter.
Still trying the Putin thing.... sheesh
Schiff is pretty great at this! Hats off to him. That said, have you seen this? ...
Your opinions don’t matter. You can not say what someone did or did not care about because your not in their mind.
Is anybody watching this and don't think Joe Biden is the most corrupt SOB walking this Earth. Heard the press is going to throw him under the bus to cover Obama's a&&. Two peas in a pod.
Then proceeds to play video of Trump mentioning anti-corruption. 🤷♂️
How wrong are you. You just made the president case for him. What were you thinking. If I was the president lawyers I would just rest my case. Adam Schiff messed up. Who pick Schiff? The only reason it kept my attention was i could believe What I was seeing. Pelosi is pissed.
Will he ever stfku we are done with his mouth and lies
the doomsday clock moved closer to doomsday because of the friction between Russia and American you dolt
I'm tired of all these lies from Pencil Neck
🤣
abc is total liberal biased garbage.
Is obstructing justice not a crime?
It was dumb then and it's dumb now.
Just look at JaySekulow.. smh He'll agree with anyone as long as they're paying him.. In his eyes even when there are blue skies all he'll see are poke-a-dots & stripes if Trump told him to say that. He's part of the reason why people think most lawyers are liars.
What's up with George it looked like he was pissed off at the people who work in the booth. Will they too tell America what kind of guy he was to work with. Calm down George Trumps going to be re elected which means job security for TV pundits like yourself.
TrumpImpeachment
Such terrified little boys. It seems their penises belong to Trump. Along with their souls.
WHAT WAS realDonaldTrump CRIME WINNING THE ELECTION IN 2016 THAT DEMOCRATS HAD RIGGED FOR HILLARY CLINTON!!! KAG2020
RepJerryNadler 🙌🏽 They need more of this to understand how they need to vote. 👏🏽 Stop kissing Trumps bleep!

i DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL IS TALKING ABOUT THIS GUY. GO AND VOTE.
Spin, spin, spin. ImpeachAndRemove
Man please be quiet and sit down.
You mean a theory that was proven by a tape of Biden actually doing what you’re accusing Trump of? Irony and how screwed you are when it’s counsels turn.
'Abuse of Power' is in the eye of the beholder. Just about everything Trump has done since taking office has been an abuse of power according to the Democrats.
Face it America the Biden's are corrupt 🙄
No he doesn’t. Liars.
Who takes this nonsense seriously?
His betrayal of the democrats interest in robbing the tax payers through giving money to foreign countries and getting pay offs through foreign company’s wake up people the democrats are thief’s and liars
Translation: We can’t beat realDonaldTrump in 2020 so we must remove from office any way necessary.
Obvious corruption is with Joe Biden
Nadler is a liar.
High crimes & misdemeanors. Nowhere did I see it say because of dislike, he’s “mean”, feelz or because we’re (Dems) going to lose the next election. You idiots have been fomenting his removal even before he swore in.
Imagine if you guys in the media were honest-You would say Nadler is unconstitutional and criminal. He’s a liar and his party is crapping all over the Constitution. The Democratic Party is a criminal organization.
