Deputy White House Counsel Patrick Philbin answers questions during impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump at the Capitol, Jan. 29, 2020. Chief Justice John Roberts speaks during impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump at the Capitol, Jan. 29, 2020."If President Trump had more than one motive for his alleged conduct such as the pursuit of personal political advantage, rooting out corruption, and the promotion of national interests, how should the Senate consider more than one motive in its assessment of Article One?" Roberts says.

Asked whether Bolton's credibility was at issue given the President's denial of his reported claims, Romney defended the former national security adviser. “Where they stand now, you'd have to ask them, I can only speak for myself but I think there are questions John Bolton could help me resolve,” he tells me.President Donald Trump speaks before signing the United States - Mexico -Canada Trade Agreement, known as USMCA, during a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., Jan. 29, 2020.

“It is my opinion, based on the law and facts, that additional testimony is unnecessary in this case," Graham says in the statement. “For the sake of argument, one could assume everything attributable to John Bolton is accurate and still the House case would fall well below the standards to remove a president from office.

Fool

The corruption will be so easy to prove. Pelosi and son, Biden and many family members, Schiff and Sister who is married to Soros Son. Clinton Charities and death count, Obama hugh sum of money in cash to Iran, all under oath. Clean the swamp.

Lol! She’s confused af.

Abuse of power. It will be the charge for all future Presidential impeachmnets . Our government in tatters all because Hillary lost.

What tortured logic is this?

If Trump believes shooting someone on 5th Ave is in the country's interest, then...

WHAT 😂

Perhaps they could move into this century and save time by electronically submitting questions... and yes, it could be a closed network to avoid electronics ban..

so how many bright sparks are with him for he alone is clueless. What a total sham display that is being shown to the world. Bring in Bolton and remove criminals from the Republican side that are his legal team. COME ON SHOW THE WORLD YOU ARE BETTER THAN TRUMP AND HIS MOB.

Who is the whistleblower?

Lying Adam Schiff does not speak for we the American people he speaks for a group of people who are corrupt and refuse to make change.

GOP Senate leaders pressured senators to not call for witnesses in Trump trialNEW: Senate Republican leadership exerted strong pressure Tuesday on the party's senators to not call for witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial, two sources familiar with the matter tell NBCNews. That sentence is so inherently wrong, not grammatically but ethically Trump’s kids have made millions in last 3 years just because of their dad being president so bringing Biden’s son for making $50,000 a month which is only $600,000 not even close to the millions that Republicans are saying. If Biden son has to come then Trump’s kids have to come They are cowards, afraid of the truth, allergic to facts. It's that simple.
