Alexander Statement on Impeachment Witness Vote (he's a no)
www.alexander.senate.gov ^ | 1/30/2020 | Senator Lamar Alexander

Posted on 01/30/2020 8:07:35 PM PST by CaptainK

“There is no need for more evidence to prove that the president asked Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter; he said this on television on October 3, 2019, and during his July 25, 2019, telephone call with the president of Ukraine. There is no need for more evidence to conclude that the president withheld United States aid, at least in part, to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens; the House managers have proved this with what they call a ‘mountain of overwhelming evidence.’ There is no need to consider further the frivolous second article of impeachment that would remove the president for asserting his constitutional prerogative to protect confidential conversations with his close advisers.

That should be a wrap. Alexander was the one the Rats needed. Romney, Collins, and MooKowSki are not enough.

Anticlimactic, but perfectly correct.

Doesn’t matter what MooKowski does. If Alexander is a No, they need another vote.

Its dead. So far Collins is the only yes vote. Witnesses will be blocked at least 51-49. That leads up to the acquittal vote.

Should be wrapped up by tomorrow night.

Romney is going to hear from us before he hears from Bolton. Ahole.

Can the Democrats get a majority for witnesses now that Lamar Alexander is no for witnesses?

That’s two out of four and my home state senator Gardner is a no vote. Even if they get FL’s Rick Scott that’s only three and they need four to join the Democrats.
