"What messages does that send? " asked Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. He implored senators to realize that without a vote to convict, the Senate will "allow the president's misconduct to stand." All that's left, as the Senate opened for four hours of final arguments is for Americans to decide what they think as the third presidential impeachment trial in the nation's history begins to close. Democrats argue "right matters," while Trump's GOP allies contend it is time to end the partisan proceeding.
Rep. Val Demings, a former police chief, argued that the president is not behaving like someone who is innocent. She warned he will try to "cheat" again ahead of 2020. The Senate proceedings are set against a sweeping political backstop, as voters in Iowa on Monday are choosing presidential Democratic primary candidates in early voting and Trump is poised Tuesday to deliver his State of the Union address in his own victory lap before Congress.
Democrats proved absolutely nothing during their sham trial and now they are going to declare themselves the winners!? They know POTUS has already won 2020!
