My Statement On The President’s Impeachment Tria
l (next text area)




The sole purpose of this extraordinary power to remove the one person entrusted with all of the powers of an entire branch of government is to provide a last-resort remedy to protect the country. That is why Hamilton wrote that in these trials our decisions should be pursuing “the public good.”

That is why six weeks ago I announced that, for me, the question would not just be whether the President’s actions were wrong, but ultimately whether what he did was removable.

The two are not the same. Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a President from office.

You are complicit in the destruction of our democracy. I hope Trump's temporary approval of you is worth all the anxiety and pain your vote will cause.

Later, you won't be able to say you didn't know. You did. We will remind you.

and so should about 20 other GOP Senators. That way the Democratic Senators can remove Trump themselves.
