Trump impeachment acquittal on track ahead of Senate vote

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is on the verge of acquittal by the Senate, bringing an end to only the third presidential impeachment trial in American history in a vote at the start of the tumultuous campaign for the White House.

The outcome expected Wednesday caps nearly five months of remarkable impeachment proceedings launched in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's House, ending in Mitch McConnell's Senate and reflective of the nation's unrelenting partisan divide three years into the Trump presidency. Story continuesOn the first article of impeachment, Trump is charged with abuse of power. On the second, obstruction of Congress.

GOP Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio said that while he doesn't condone Trump's actions, he was not prepared to remove him from the ballot nine months before the election."Let the people decide," he said. They detailed an extraordinary shadow diplomacy run by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani that set off alarms at the highest levels of government. Trump, after asking Ukraine's president for"a favor'' in a July 25 phone call, temporarily halted U.S. aid to the struggling ally battling hostile Russia at its border.

In closing arguments for the trial the lead prosecutor, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., appealed to senators' sense of decency, that “right matters” and"truth matters"' and that Trump"is not who you are.''

Well, it certainly is on track considering that the Traitor (er, Republican) Party leadership announced weeks ago that the Criminal-in-Chief would be acquitted. No evidence, no witnesses, guaranteed acquittal. Typical 'trial' of an authoritarian dictator.

What the hell is wrong with those politicians that are supporting him? I don't know how anyone can possibly respect somebody who stands up like he did today and basically stand there boasting about how wonderful he is. God, what is wrong with the people who voted for him
