GOP congressman calls on candidates Sanders, Warren, Klobuchar and Bennet to 'recuse' themselves from Trump impeachment trial

"I think a question that needs to be asked as the articles of impeachment move over to the United States Senate is will the four candidates for office, for president of the United States, be impartial jurors?" he asked in a press conference on Tuesday.

"How can they be impartial jurors?" the congressman asked. Continuing, he said:"I hope those four senators decide to recuse themselves."to a previous comment from the senator back in October when other Republicans raised the same concern."No, I would not recuse myself. It's part of my constitutional obligation," the congresswoman said at the time.

"A sitting United States Senator actively seeking the Presidency of the United States has a vested interest in the reputation and political future of an incumbent President of the United States who is currently serving his or her first term in office," House Resolution 744 states.

To damn bad

Assuming they are moral beings with a good understanding & commitment to Rule of Law to make sure they are not interested parties so as not to be implicated in conflict of interest. But that's over the dead body of SenSchumer who needs votes of every Dem

BrianKarem Just read the Newsweek article, and oh my...He really said “four people that’s trying to fire?”

Thanks guy who’s not even part of the process.

As if anyone paid attention to Republican Congressmen anymore.

If the concern is that they won't be impartial jurors, then MCConnel should recuse himself. Hell, the whole republican senate should recuse itself.

.MoscowMitch & LightInTheLoafersLyndseyGraham already said they will not be impartial, want to dismiss impeachment without hearing from witnesses Trump ordered not to testify & Trump bribed GOPSenate with 2020 campaign donations to vote vs Impeachment , so SuckIt CNN

And I want a Lamborghini, but here we are.

Not that it matters. Just get it over with.

Makes no sense as usual

melpriceHB Perhaps trump should resign

No Way!!!!

Absolutely not!!!

Maybe McConnell should recuse himself too along with anyone who is taking the lead of the White House

Oh hell no. McConnell and Graham first.

Then all of the GOP needs to recuse their selves.

BrianKarem Stupid

BrianKarem Then Barr needs to resign, and 45 Senators need to recuse themselves.

RepJasonSmith Are you calling for the recusal of MoscowMitch and LeningradLindsey who have both indicated in public interviews that they will not be impartial? If not, you should forget about having the Senate Dem candidates recuse as none of them have made any such comments!

BrianKarem RepJasonSmith I call on you to go pound sand.

Ok I wait, they won't allow witnesses, the redacted emails and threw a fit about the testimony wouldn't name the terms and NOW they want to make demands on who gets to show up

Only if MoscowMitch and LeningradLindsay do too!

Ridiculous

Well that’s dumb. They’re still Senators.

Nunes didn't, why would the Dems?

BrianKarem F the gop

How unfair

🤔😏😊☺️😁😂

Priceless. Mitch McConnel coordinating with the WH. Lindsay Grahamhaving already made up his mind. And so on. The GOP is a travesty.

Theyre not allowed to. Senators are reouired to attend. This really is rich considering senatemajldr is by his own admission working w/the WH.

They won't, because the GOP won't allow testimony or documents. They just want to ram through a vote, because 'hur dur, Dems bad.'

😂😂😂😂😂 EVERY SENATOR ON THE KREMLIN PAYROLL SHOULD RECUSE. No one else. Another case of confession by projection. It’s the favorite GOPGANGOFPUTIN thing to do.

Hahahahaha then so should McConnell and graham so basically said they aren’t impartial juniors it goes both ways

Many GOP should recuse themselves if they want an impartial trial!

How about Graham and McConnell...

When Mitch and the other jackasses do the same fool

And McConnell and Lindsey Graham need to recuse themselves

You know who should recuse themselves, RepJasonSmith? The assholes that openly declared that they shouldn’t even have a trial and have no intention of being impartial, like LindseyGrahamSC and MoscowMitchMcTraitor senatemajldr. 🖕

What a joke. They have no conflict. Unlike MoscowMitch and leningradlindsey

And the Republicans who are so vocal in their support of Trump must recuse too

This is hillarious.

Oh like DevinNunes recused himself during impeachment hearings knowing he had skin in the game (Parnas). You didn’t call for his recusal. Get a grip GOPLeader - the GOP is out of excuses. It’s time to remove IMPOTUS and begin healing the Country and saving our Democracy.

Nope

What about MoscowMitchTraitor , LeningradLindsey, and the rest of PutinsPuppets who've already pledged to acquit Trump?

Can all GOP Senators recuse themselves from the Senate?

After MoscowMitch and LeningradLindsey

This is a perfectly reasonable request and one that each senator must accept for even the appearance of propriety.

Ridiculous. If they feel so strongly about it then Trump should recuse himself from the Presidency while under impeachment.

And.. why would they do it?

. LOL .

Only if every Republican Senator who has publicly declared they will not remove Trump, before the trial has even taken place, recuses themselves as well.

And McConnell and the various other folks who are working with the White House and have openly said they think it’s all ridiculous will be impartial?

Republicans don't need to read the Constitution, they have Putin telling them what to do.

LOL

BrianKarem Nice try Rep. Dumbshit.

Well all admitted boas senators should recuse. Many good have said they'd vote a certain way nomatter what.

Hmmmm...a crack in the armour...

Barr...Lindsey,....McConnell...other Russianrepublicans need to recuse

Nice try.

No they need to be present no matter how long it takes. Sit at your desk and be still.

Then so should every gop senator who has stated they will not vote to impeach. That includes MoscowMitchTraitor

BrianKarem Mitch’s wife works for Trump. MitchMustRecuse

If you want these democrats recused then you must recused MoscowMitch, Graham and anyone else who will willing lie to protect the liar.

BrianKarem I think that every senator who is either a Democrat or a Republican should recuse.

congressman u r not funny.

The entire GOP Senate should recuse themselves.

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

BrianKarem 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

BrianKarem Yeah, I don't think so.

The GOP are showing such desperation. Wow..

BrianKarem GOP Congressman, gfy.

RepJasonSmith ..... you’re funny

😂👌🏻

Fair enough. Then all the GOP Senators that have announced they won’t be impartial have to as well.

Look at all these Dems on here who don’t know how this works,lol. His possible OPPONENTS should recuse themselves, no none else! Trump was impeached because he spoke of his possible opponent, Biden. Remember? Now, conveniently. Opponents don’t matter, lol. Can’t make this up!

BrianKarem Right? 'Cause their wives work for the defendant. OH HANG ON.

Yea, right after McConnell, Graham and the other Trump cultists who have already said he’s innocent recuse themselves!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What GOP SENATORS are up for RE-ELECTIONS In November? They need to ALSO RECUSE THEMSELVES.

HCullen98 LMAO dude go talk to McConnell and Graham.

BrianKarem “Many People are saying Trump is scared; he will be convicted and removed! The Truth will come out; and it’s not good for Donny!

Does he want a cherry on top too!! WHAT A LOSER WHOMEVER HE IS OR SHE

They should since they want his job

And MoscowMitch and LeningradLindsey

Don’t forget my Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin who spent a Fourth of July in Moscow and then came back saying that Russia was not so bad. Get him recused? In fact, imprison him.

Republicans who are depending Trump should do the same

No way. You have McConnell recuse himself. Lindsey too

Fine..when AG Barr retroactively récuses himself from anything having to do with Trump.

BrianKarem Welp RepJasonSmith is an idiot.

Give me a break, seriously!

BrianKarem 😂

BrianKarem They have no direct link to the case so why. McConnell and Graham are actively involved with the case and have admitted prejudgement and threats to go against rules to let Trump off.

And as an American citizen, I demand that MoscowMitch , LeningradLindsay and EVERY other Senator, who stated that they will vote no on the impeachment process before hearing witnesses to 'recuse' themselves from the hearing.

BrianKarem

BrianKarem Right along with McConnell Graham Barr related to Mueller investigation and the rest of the hooligans!

Immediately after Mitch does

McConnell first.

Hahahahaha, NO

Those Dem senators are going to take the same oath as the GOP senators are: ”I solemnly swear (or affirm) that in all things appertaining to the trial of ____, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws, so help me God.” No recusal necessary.

senatemajldr and LindseyGrahamSC should

Nah

Isn't this the 'Go Back to Puerto Rico' congressman? ARacistsSaysWhat

BrianKarem 😂

All the republicans should recuse!!!!!!!!

BrianKarem Barred?

Well, the GOP is clearly starting to freak out.

BrianKarem Sir! Have you no decency? For it is obvious you’ve no intelligence and even less honor. May your eternal reputation be hand in hand with trump’s, a stain on this country and a blight to the world.

So ridiculous. Are Republicans from outer space?

Too biased.

This should be VERY revealing.

As soon as every single Republican Senator recuses, they will do that.

Then all those that have spoken out in his defense should recuse too, especially McConnell and Graham. Do they really want to go down that road?😠

BrianKarem The GOP’s projection is absolutely amazing. Everyone KNOWS the SenateGOP is virtually in the bag for Trump yet for this turd to claim that Democratic Senators are not the impartial ones is breathtaking in its hypocrisy.

BrianKarem Who would this be? One of the 3 stooges or?

BrianKarem Mitch McConnell publicly stated that he does not plan to be an 'impartial juror' in Trump's pending trial and has said that he plans to work closely with White House.

BrianKarem What’s he smoking? It must be some powerful sh**!!!

This is ironic considering he's not naming all the Republican senators who've said they won't be impartial. Guess the fact that 4 Republicans might actually vote to allow witnesses cares him.

BrianKarem

BrianKarem Do you have grounds for such a request that are more compelling than the statements made by senatemajldr?

ROTFLMAOBAMA
