WASHINGTON - Democrats on Thursday pressed their case at U.S. President Donald Trump’s Senate trial for removing him from office by using the words of his own allies against him to make the point that his actions constituted impeachment offenses, but his fellow Republicans showed no signs of turning against him.
“Impeachment is not a punishment for crimes,” Democratic Representative Jerrold Nadler told the assembled senators. “Impeachment exists to address threats to the political system, applies only to political officials and responds not by imprisonment or fines but only by stripping political power.” Nadler said the Constitution is not “a suicide pact,” adding, “It does not leave us stuck with presidents who abuse their power in unforeseen ways that threaten our security and democracy.”

Any hard evidence to support that statement? In fact Schiff, do you have any evidence at all to support any of your contentious allegations?
RepAdamSchiff Ukranian aid under Obama, blankets. Ukranian aid under realDonaldTrump , Javelin missles. On camera boasting about withholding aid to Ukraine. Biden 1 Trump 0
“Russian propaganda?” Even Ukraine admits they have a problem.
Yada yada yada. Obama and his Democrat Party gave Ukraine blankets. Trump and Republicans gave them missiles.
Get over it cry baby
Liar
Being misled by the Russians is not a basis for impeachment. Besides RepAdamSchiff told us again this week that Trump is working for the Russians.
What accomplishments did shifty Schiff do for our country other than this bullshit that is wasting tax payers money
Putin told him
He said it 1,486 times since trial began.....🤦♀️😩
Ukraine is 'ally' to everyone with money 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the only Russian propaganda is what you and the Democrats have been spreading since 2016 with your dodgy dossier that the DNC and Clinton paid a foreign agent to create that has little basis in reality which is why the FBI had 2 lie to get a FISA to spy on Trump.
BS is bovine excrement. Distortions are distortions. Lies are still lies. democrat propaganda is still propaganda. Partisan politics is still partisan. Pettifogging is still pettifogging. Journalism is NO longer news. trump is a jerk, but this impeachment is a hoax, and so wrong.
Not true, Ukraine got all the money Congress intended them to get and they received it long before the date Congress required, Trump received nothing in return.
Do nations depend on, lean on, or in anyway listen to intel from another nation when conducting business? Asking for a friend.
Russia Russia Russia. The most pathetic excuse ever. Democrats are going to be exposed soon.
Except he didn’t, they got it all and then some.
Get this book and you will understand why the Democrats are trying to impeach Trump. CoverUp impeachment BidenScandal Maga TrumpLandslide
He make anything up hoping it sticks
😩😩😩😴😴😴🤮🤮🤮🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Still trying to persuade everyone geez. Get back to work
Aiding and abetting an enemy that is attacking our elections
Actually not true. Be careful Reuters because this will be proven very soon as false as the Dossier and Russia hoax. Remember Schiff said he have proof of that...that never showed up.
Obama told Ukraine to disarm and the U. S. would protect them and sent them blakets, deny any weapons. Russia invaded and killed 20,000 troops, Obama let it happen.
RepAdamSchiff ... come on Adam ... the wider the eyes the bigger the lies. Stop trying to rig the 2020 Presidential Election
Is he still yapping?!
While then VP Biden fking boasted about the same....really?
Hmmm...never heard that before.
🤡
The only abuse has been this sham of Democratic proof!
BS is bovine excrement. Distortions are distortions. Lies are still lies. democrat propaganda is still propaganda. Partisan politics is still partisan. Pettifogging is still pettifogging. Journalism is NO longer news. trump is a jerk, but this impeachment is a hoax, and so wrong.
I thought there were laws against cruel and unusual punishment.
Trump's Legal Team Calls Out Schiff and Dem 'Hypocrisy' in Impeachment Opening Statement
Listen to all the MAGAts cry because they don't like it when the truth is on national TV. Ignorance is a choice, I'm impressed you ppl even understand the concept of choice. That is actually amazing.
Obama used UK, AU, Italy, Ukraine and Russian foreign assets to get dirt on Trump. The left wants to impeach Trump for investigating extortion and elect Biden for committing that extortion.
Little Jerry is still mad about Television City xD
Lol. Little Piggie has engaged in grave abuse of food.
Platitudes. That's all they have to offer, ad nauseam.
What is it when your pal Adam Schiff out and out lies to senators?
TiredOfTrumpsLies
It's exactly the best phrase to use... theworldiswatching
