Sen. Susan Collins of Maine announces she will vote to admit additional evidence in the trial.
Retiring Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee said he would vote against any proposals for further witnesses. In a statement, Alexander surprisingly appeared to say he believed the Democrats had proven their case, but that the president's actions did not meet the standard for an impeachable offense. Alexander's Republican colleague, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine broke the other way, announcing late Thursday night that she will vote to admit additional evidence in the trial.
That vote, which is expected to occur Friday, marks a pivotal moment in the impeachment proceedings that have dogged Trump for months. On Wednesday, Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, signaled that he would vote with the Democrats. If Democrats can convince four senators to join them in supporting witnesses, the trial could proceed for weeks or months longer as new battles arise over testimony from key witnesses, such as Bolton and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

Sen. Murphy: If GOP senators whitewash the truth, 'there will be hell to pay'WATCH: 'I think there's going to be hell to pay,' Sen. Murphy says. 'By essentially white washing the truth—by turning the Senate trial into one bit partisan cover-up; I don't know we're going to be able to recover this obligation that the Senate has.' McConnell is signing Republicans death warrant trying to protect this slob. The fury in the Dem base over this sham trial will be palpable. November is going to be a political blood bath for Republicans. We're already paying. The bill has come due for 40 years of toxic Republican propaganda. A fascist president and a broken Federal Government is their legacy.

Sen. Collins’s Focused Approach Could Help Alter Impeachment TrialSen. Susan Collins has filled a 50-page legal pad with notes about President Trump’s impeachment trial, a focused approach that could play a role in whether the Senate votes to allow witnesses including John Bolton. The GOP is stonewalling just like they did with Kavanaugh and the Mueller Report. There was no investigation because of Barr and documents were redacted. They are afraid and are hiding the truth. If we don’t act now, our country will be compromised! She is spineless. She will vote with the party. That's about it. Regardless of how big her legal pad is. Yet I'm guessing we know how she'll come out.

Sen. Harris: 'There cannot be a true acquittal if there's not been a fair trial'Sen. Kamala Harris says that President Trump cannot be considered truly acquitted unless the impeachment trial includes the evidence he's trying to exclude. She also argues that the Trump defense team's arguments that Trump's quid pro quo with Ukraine isn't impeachable ignores the fact that foreign entanglements were among the Framers' biggest concerns. The Trumps Summed Up In A Picture. A family who gives there kids toy limousines instead of hotwheels. A man who sits on a chair made of gold, while he makes his wife stand beside him. He's Not Like You! He's Not Like Any Of Us. He Was Born With This Money. It Was Never Earned! Why don't you stop talking? You donot sound very smart. We're not waiting to hear the Republican Senate say whether or not Trump's guilty, cause it's been proven beyond doubt he is. We're waiting to hear whether or not they're going to publicly admit that they're going to allow Trump to continue to break laws & divide this country!

Sen. Warren: GOP approves Trump's 'racist', 'sexist', and 'homophobic' judgesOn the Trump Administration’s court appointments, Elizabeth Warren says they’re “people who have written records as racist, as sexist, as homophobic, … and who work hard to keep American citizens from being able to vote, those people pass through with every single Republican voting in favor of them.” She's a nutcase! Trump has put more judges on the bench than the last several combined. Glorious. You can't be a Republican if you don't show those negatives!
