Democratic prosecutors declaring 'no one is above the law' went head to head with White House lawyers as closing arguments wrapped up at US President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial

Democratic prosecutors declaring "no one is above the law" went head to head with White House lawyers as closing arguments wrapped up at US President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial, setting the stage for his likely acquittal on Wednesday.

White House lawyers flatly rejected the arguments that Mr Trump - just the third president in US history to be impeached by the House of Representatives - should be removed from office by the Senate for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate is to vote at 4pm on Wednesday and the Republican president is all but certain of being acquitted.

Colorado lawmaker Jason Crow, another House prosecutor, said impeachment was an "extraordinary remedy." West Virginia's Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator in a heavily Republican state, said he was "struggling" with how to vote on impeachment but he believed there would be bipartisan support for a censure motion of the president if one was offered.

And Trump will be exonerated because Democrats had no evidence, zero. They brought in 17 witnesses who had 2nd hand info...never spoke to Trump & never met Trump. They then wanted the Senate to find witnesses for them...it didn't work & has been proven to be a complete Sham.

Obviously Hillary is - destroying Benghazi emails.

Unless you are a Member of DNC or DNC political elites
