3. If she does that will be last straw

For her, she wasn’t probably planning on running again anyway so true colors come out.

She needed to be replaced years ago.

5. Here's the story

Just after President Trump’s defense lawyers ended arguments in their Senate trial Tuesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California became the first Democrat to suggest that she could vote to acquit him despite serious concerns about his character.

“Nine months left to go, the people should judge. We are a republic, we are based on the will of the people — the people should judge,” Feinstein said Tuesday, after the president’s team finished a three-day presentation in his defense. “That was my view and it still is my view.”

Still, she indicated that arguments in the trial about Trump’s character and fitness for office had left her undecided. “What changed my opinion as this went on,” she said, is a realization that “impeachment isn’t about one offense. It’s really about the character and ability and physical and mental fitness of the individual to serve the people, not themselves.”

8. Didn't she just win? Didn't she go home from the trial early one day?

Get out Diane, you represent millions of people, if you can't do the job get OUT.

9. Dementia? n/t

10. Not surprised, sad to say.

[superpatriotman]

12. He broke the law or he didn't

It’s got nothing to do with the ‘will of the people’

Edit: she did NOT say this.

[ooky]

13. Her reasoning doesn't make any sense.

If he isn't fit to serve then why wait for the election for "the people to decide"? If he's guilty that is your job! Do it!

14. I'd say unfuckingbelievable...

but with Feinstein, it's absolutelyfuckingbelievable.

15. Just read tweet that she was misquoted. I do not have Twitter or ability to copy,

Perhaps someone can update from Senator Feinsteins twitter. She stated she would keep an open mind before hearing, and now that both sides had made their cases it was clear that the presidents actions were wrong.

We need to stop knee jerking. I did it myself.

16. Here's her tweet

The LA Times misunderstood what I said today. Before the trial I said I'd keep an open mind. Now that both sides made their cases, it’s clear the president’s actions were wrong. He withheld vital foreign assistance for personal political gain. That can’t be allowed to stand.

17. Thank you

[coti]

24. "That can't be allowed to stand." That's conspicuously lacking a phrase like "Of course I'm not

fucking voting to acquit this piece of crap."

[sarcasmo]

18. Dianne will be wheeled out in 2024 like Strom Thurmond and vote

for Dictatorship.

19. CALL Her

I am so angry right now. Left message at SF office

[New Breed Leader]

21. NO SHE DIDN'T. READ HER TWEET

22. OP, FEINSTEIN SAYS THIS ISN'T TRUE. Please correct your OP now. Thanks.

23. Here are some quotes from the LA Times article:

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-01-28/trump-team-wraps-impeachment-defense-with-an-elephant-in-the-senate-john-bolton

“Nine months left to go, the people should judge. We are a republic, we are based on the will of the people — the people should judge,” Feinstein said Tuesday, after the president’s team finished a three-day presentation in his defense. “That was my view and it still is my view.”

Still, she indicated that arguments in the trial about Trump’s character and fitness for office had left her undecided. “What changed my opinion as this went on,” she said, is a realization that “impeachment isn’t about one offense. It’s really about the character and ability and physical and mental fitness of the individual to serve the people, not themselves.”

Asked whether she would ultimately vote to acquit, she demurred, saying, “We’re not finished.”

Feinstein told reporters that her office had received roughly 125,000 letters in support of the impeachment last week, and about 30,000 against it. “There is substantial weight to this,” she said, “and the question is: Is it enough to cast this vote?”
