Joe Lockhart was White House press secretary from 1998-2000 in President Bill Clinton's administration. He co-hosts the podcast"Words Matter." The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own. View more opinion at CNN.
With House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to move forward with impeachment, and the White House decision not to participate in the House process, the impeachment of President Donald Trump is virtually sealed. Joe LockhartThe only remaining issues moving forward will be how many different articles of impeachment the President will be facing in the Senate -- and what the rules surrounding his trial will be.It is virtually certain there will be an article on abuse of power, one on bribery for the alleged Ukraine"shakedown" and one more on obstruction of Congress for the unprecedented stonewalling of several House committees.
Opinion To beck with fake news and DemoRATS.
Opinion When the Senate is done exposing the lies and corruption of the Democrats, it will be they who's at risk. Get ready for the whistleblower to be put on the stand, along with Schiff, the Bidens et al. The Republicans will not only retain the Senate, but Congress and Presidency.
Opinion The whole world already knows that the current American Senate is like a bucket of water that Trump has the power to tilt in any direction he wants.
Opinion The whole world already knows that the current American Senate is like a bucket of water that Trump can tilt in any direction he wants.
Opinion Soooooo...Moscow Mitch, are you going to be fair and above board with this process and follow the letter of the law or will you just keep marching your Senate to the abyss with a man who knows nothing but dictators and monsters. You are only as good as your word. Are you that man
Opinion Republicans need to be more united then ever. If not then cross the floor now.
Opinion I pray it does have a very big impact on the GOP. They need to be accountable for their behavior alone . AMERICA'S HAD ENOUGH!
Opinion Good.
Opinion Yes house as in whorehouse . Junior Thieves and unsuccessful lawyers looking for a place at the trough onk onk
Opinion What the Senate groupiesofputin don't understand is by not honoring their oath, they will lose support from suburbs as they did in 2018. By putting party over COUNTRY/OATH, they're telling true AMERICANS that Trump is above the law. EITHER HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE OR LOSE.
Opinion So they should do the right thing and vote to remove the most vile, dangerous fraud of our times.
Opinion Trial....funny!!!
Opinion How will affect vulnerable Democrats?
Opinion Get read for subpoenas Dems... this is going to be entertaining

Opinion Which Republican senator is vulnerable?
Opinion I’d take the odds if I were a Republican Senator
Opinion Wahahaha did you mean vulnerable Democrats? FakeNewsCNN
Opinion Once the house impeaches the Senate will vote to dismiss. Not 1 GOP senator want to go on the record. This is why DEMS should continue the investigation & get witnesses until we get closer to next summer. GOP would do the same if roles were reversed, DEMS PLAY HARDBALL
Opinion I HOPE SO. FOR GOING ALONG WITH LIES. OBVIOUS LIES STRAIGHT FROM 🍊🤡 MOUTH.THEN HE HOLLARS FAKE NEWS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE REPUBLICANS LOCKSTEP WITH ANYONE THAT HAD THAT LEVEL OF INDECENCY & THEY GOES MERRILY ALONG WITH IT. VOTE THEM ALL OUT. THEY HAVE LOSS THEIR MORAL COMPASS
Opinion No it wouldn’t it’d let them ask questions to everyone for a change
Opinion 1/The “Chicken Noodle News” needs to get a grip! On this side, we LOVE our President! The economy’s booming, manufacturing is up adding 54,000 jobs, wages have been rising: from 2009-2019–up 6.9%, especially for no supervisory employees, Black unemployment lowest ever! Yea!
Opinion Nope. Just more ejaculation of speculation by CNN
Opinion More Fake News; the question is, how it will affect vulnerable Democrats.
Opinion Fake airport news
Opinion
Opinion GOOD
Opinion The Senate should just vote to acquit the same day the house votes to impeach. Done and done.
Opinion Goo luck.
Opinion Turtle man Moscow Mitch isn’t gonna let his meal ticket go down.
Opinion Nah not really. All the GOP need to know is 95% of GOP base back Trump. Any republican voting to convict will have to deal with that base.
Opinion They should make them like twisted and biased like the House rules, but the GOP doesn't put party ahead of country as the DNC does.
Opinion Which all goes to show that this is just a Political attack on the democratic election.
Opinion Gente que no ha movido nunca un dedo por mi. Point.
Opinion I’m sure Moscow Mitch will find a way to keep the White House Oligarchs happy.
Opinion We’ve got the rope, the horse and the tree. Now it’s just a matter of what words we say before “Giddup!” CNNisPravda
Opinion Is that what Joe Lockhart thinks?
Opinion There are 200+ Dems in the House that voted for this ShamImpeachment. Thirty one very, very vulnerable. America is waking up to the 'power grab' at all costs. 2020 will not be kind to Dems for what they have put this country through. They have spit in the face of the people!!!
Opinion The Senate and Congress better do what’s right not what’s is best for there pockets!!!
Opinion We can only hope, pray, and vote that every SenateGOP loses their seat. We do not need representatives, on either aisle, who’ve sworn allegiance to a cult leader, betrayed the constitution and who willingly do the bidding of adversaries like Russia.
Opinion I'm glad this is under 'opinion'. The only gop senators vulnerable are those who vote in support of impeachment. MSM want so badly to support China First and global socialism, no matter the costs to USA. Just like the Kavanaugh case, Senators must understand what's going on.
Opinion And vulnerable D’Rats in the House? What about them? They’re the morons that are pushing this farce. Oh that’s right.....low ratings is nothing but a’Rat mouthpiece and not a real news network
Opinion It will be nothing but an attack on the Bidens, the House witnesses, ect. I think Nancy Pelosi should hold a prime time press conference. State the facts. The President is guilty. The Republicans are afraid of Trump, and drop impeachment.
Opinion They're impeaching the president while searching for a crime instead of impeachment because he committed a crime. Our government has lost it and we the people have to go through this crap.
Opinion I certainly hope so
Opinion The coup has failed. Spygate Indictments are coming. ExposeCNN
Opinion At the top of the list of vulnerable Republican Senators is Moscow Mitch
Opinion Thank you for imploding and sending the house back to the Republicans. Love ya
Opinion Nope
