GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander says he'll oppose calling witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump

"I worked with other senators to make sure that we have the right to ask for more documents and witnesses, but there is no need for more evidence to prove something that has already been proven and that does not meet the United States Constitution's high bar for an impeachable offense," Alexander said in a statement shortly after the Senate gaveled out of session Thursday evening.

Collins and Murkowski joined with Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona to the President's team: would the President adhere to the Logan Act and guarantee that private citizens would not be directed to conduct foreign policy unless they have been designated by the government.

Good thing he is retiring because he is a lousy Senator.

Be sure to let his constituents know

He is retiring what does he care. He does not. He will be well off retired. So all his loyal followers just got the bird from him.

He is right.. It's becoming nasty!

Nooooo why?

CNN where’s the belly laughing Mr Lemon I don’t see you covering the story about DNC getting sued.... now there’s some news!!

Anderson and Don will now have to get back to comparing lovers dick sizes!

I have a question!! ... If you put a candle next to Anderson, does he melt? ....

Lamar Alexander knows 45 is guilty. He just doesn’t care. GOPCorruptionOverCountry

People aren't going to be able to decide. How many times have the Electorial College voted against the wishes of the Popular Vote? The whole process needs an overhaul!

13 witnesses. 28,000+ documents. 192 videos. House Managers say, 'we heard from enough witnesses to prove the case beyond any doubt at all.' (Jerry Nadler, CNN 1.15.20) According to Democrats they don’t need anymore witnesses.

What a coward.

they scared him to death I'm sure they been threatening him

The defendant is guilty, the house has overcome the burden of proof, but he suffers no consequence for a high crime or misdemeanor. 2020looms democracyisdead

Why all the long faces .lol

The GOP has had quite the day, huh? They wasted a bunch of time, they've nearly solidified protecting *their* president from what should have been a fair proceeding, Rand Paul likely outed a protected whistleblower ostensibly because he felt like it... So prideful.

I guess global warming doesn't matter for our children anymore since this is the end of the 3 branches of govt and the Constitution

cnn imploding.

Collins is voting for witnesses to try and save her seat. Her vote is meaningless and she knows it. She's playing Maine voters for suckers.

Traitor! This will be your legacy.

About time let trump do his job and people just need to move on big win mr trump! I knew you was innocent overall

I’ve never heard of a trial without witnesses or with a jury openly collaborating with the defendant to get him off. This was a sham to begin with, the Senate is basically just a rubber stamp for unchecked executive power. This is how Republics fall.

Sadly SenatorRomney either isn’t intelligent enough to see what Lamar and many of my Democrat friends do, or his personal vindictiveness.

Republicans will pay this fool for the rest of his life.
