How much has President Trump stonewalled Congress? No other president who faced impeachment took the “extreme step” of stopping witnesses, argued Rep. Zoe Lofgren, one of the House impeachment managers.

, a central figure in the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. Ukraine is a pivotal U.S. ally in the effort to counter Russian aggression.

"I said yes, and he called out for aides to bring us a map of the world with no writing. I pointed to Ukraine," she recounted.Texas Democrat Sylvia Garcia, one of the House Impeachment managers, made a point Friday of enunciating each letter of the acronym FOIA, which stands for the"Freedom of Information Act," instead of the much shorter and commonly used"FOIA" .

"Lawyer lawsuits? We're talking about the impeachment of a president of the United States, duly elected, and the members — the managers are complaining about lawyer lawsuits? The Constitution allows lawyer lawsuits. It's disrespecting the Constitution of the United States to even say that in this chamber — lawyer lawsuits."

House Democrats have argued that Trump removed Yovanovitch, who was heavily criticized by the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to clear the way for Ukraine to investigate his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. The recording“I want to ask about the recording that has been released today because President Trump has said that he didn’t know Parnas and obviously he’s in a conversation with him about taking out one of his ambassadors,” said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.

How would they feel if the most powerful person in the world were asking a foreign nation to conduct a sham investigation into them? How would they react if, like Yovanovitch, they had devoted their life to public service, served in dangerous places around the world, only to be hounded out of their post? Schiff asked while speaking on the Senate floor Friday.

“If someone sacrifices the national interest in favor of his own, and is not removed from office, our democracy is in jeopardy. It’s just that simple,” Schiff said. “The grave consequences of President Trump’s misconduct demand our attention.”Explaining the importance of Ukraine to national security interests, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., brought in an interesting voice.

A witness has to have seen something you have a panel of never trumpers, whose seen nothing by show of hands.

Congress could have gone to court at any time to get subpoenas. They did not. That is their failure. POTUS is well within his rights.

There have been 3...I don't think there are accurate records from Johnson's (show us I'm wrong), Clinton's involved obviously damning dna and a woman, and Trump's was an extreme step after 3 years of a reckless, relentless, obvious, partisan pursuit to take him down. GOOD FOR HIM

If your guilty and you know it clap your hands....

These people are the most dishonest group I ha e ever seen it’s a disgrace

Fast forward to this State of Union Address He finna say something about them and a fight breaks out

Please cut as much political red tape allowed under the Constitution and remove realDonaldTrump from office as quickly and legally as possible. Delete all globally embarrassing records of his supposed presidently, so people can elect a genuine world leader.

Umm, That's a flat out lie.

Chris Coons: How will history remember GOP if they shrug off what Trump did?'If Pres. Trump really hopes to be exonerated, they're going to have to allow some additional witnesses,' Sen. Coons says. 'Simply arguing the Constitution doesn't allow us to impeach someone for this sort of abuse of power ... I don't think holds water' He is about to be exonerated, no matter what the do-nothing Democrats say... I don’t think they care about history. They care about staying it of jail. I don’t see the problem here! Both Democrats and Republicans wants these people to testify, and White House documents made public. Why is the GOP being so difficult about it? Is it really that bad?
