Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell delivers a press conference after the Senate impeachment vote on Capitol Hill in Washington, Feb. 5, 2020."So we have reached the conclusion. I think this was a thoroughly political exercise from the beginning to the end. And the final irony of it all is the speaker was right in the beginning. Because here we are today in a position to judge the political impact of this," McConnell said.
"As I depart the chamber, I do so with an invitation to visit the court. By long tradition and in memory of the 135 years we sat in this building, we keep the front row of the gallery in our courtroom open for members of Congress who might want to drop by to see an argument -- or to escape one. I also depart with sincere good wishes as we carry out our common commitment to the constitution through the distinct roles assigned to us by that charter.

How about helping run the country for a change. We’re all sick of your BS!!
Hypocrite.
Too bad you cant retro-actively impeach prior presidents/vice presidents for the exact same thing. Seems like a new standard has been set.
Why don't you worry about getting things done
SenSchumer GetOverIt
Unless it’s a Democrat right? Cause all the left cares about aren’t facts, they’re blind to those. It’s hate, rage, and intolerance for anyone who dares to have a different opinion than them
Hey Chuckie Boy, how about running the country for a change? Three and a half years of investigations by the FBI, DOJ, Congress, the Senate, Mueler and the media have shown NOTHING. Give it up and do your legislating job or be ousted in 2020.
Nys residents need to remember this at election time! Time to retire Chuck..
You are are the problem not Trump. He has accomplished more in 3 years than you have in your life long political career you self serving anti American stopcorruptpoliticians
It is conclusive Democrats are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrom. Democrats hate has clouded their judgment. Many Democrats need to retire soon.
Dems are sore losers!!!!
Now there’s this precedent to just impeach who you dislike. This has become “normal.” Disgusting
Democratic Socialist Party...forget who the people vote for...Democrats want control
Chuck knows his party is about to be eliminated from power and will do anything to interfere in the next election. Naked hypocrisy.
Translation: WeNeedaBiggerHoax!!
Why wasn’t oboma impeached
Acquitted Forever 👍🏽 The Democrats tried a coup. Fail. Schumer is one of the biggest gas bags ever
If only they didn’t get news coverage. What would they do then.
You keep using that word 'conclusive'...
Two Buck Chuck. He is the white Al Sharpton. Any excuse to be in front of a camera, no matter the issue. I'd like to know what he really does for NY constituents. The Bridge over the Hudson, but he didn't go after 1812 funding, or much of anything to promote NY tourism.
Chuck you
Schumer, Pelosi, Managers and other members of the Democratic Party stood up for our Country. They represent truth, integrity and respect for rule of law and oath of office. Trump and Republicans have held our Country hostage with disrespect for rule of law and oath of office.
Obama did the same thing and no one impeached Obama?
He literally says”I think it’s conclusive” regarding high crimes and misdemeanors. Sorry bud but you can’t remove a sitting president for “thinking” he did something. That’s why you lost.
Blah, blah, blah, you got a big mouth
🤯🤯🤯🤯
Why wouldn’t ABC ask Chuck if running a counterintelligence investigation against the opposition party’s presidential candidate and campaign using the FBI and the DOJ, is worthy of impeachment? Your 4th estate folks. Far from necessary, they are the problem.
Does he know what the definition of squirted is?
I’d say Chuckie is pissed. 🤣
A lawyer that doesn’t understand how an acquittal works...
In a nutshell
How about someone investigate Joe Biden for money laundering and pedophilia!?
How about retroactive impeachment?
Just can’t get over losing this sham impeachment. Kinda like getting over HRC election?
Looney tune
We must pass a law that Republicans cannot be impeached by socialists.
Obama abused his power many times. I don’t recall your outrage over DACA. Thing is, you call it an abuse of power only when you don’t agree. Other times it’s great.
When will schumer be punished for telling lies?
Republican party without John McCain has lost its direction.
Does anyone seriously even listen to this cuck?
Most dispicable person in the Senate Schumer is a self absorbed sanctimonious do nothing fraud I would think by now he would be tired of getting beat by Pres Trump who he use to beg for political contributions Schumer is a con and will be exposed
How about we impeach you and the bias team behind you
Reminder LiberalHackMedia made it possible for Schumer & all traitorous dems to attempt Coup.
Schumi should check the definition of Acquittal. “A judgement or verdict that a person is not guilty of the crime with which they have been charged.”
🙄
Tough luck Chuck
Bla bla bla. You lied n lost
Oh sure just keep wasting tax dollars chuck ignorant Dems are trying to ruin our country
No they dont
I believe this was a total dem sham
Neither California trio nor the NY duo can defeat the constitution the USA constitution prevails. Law wins, truth wins.
Why didn’t you impeach bien then?
Impeach him again! This time indict him as well, he is a criminal and does not get to hide behind his phony title of President to protect himself from crimes!
So sick of this guy
November will not be kind to Democrats.
Schumer is past his bedtime.... retirement is in order
How about the last one? Definitely impeachable.
Lunatics ! You could have been helping American Citizens instead.
I guess you can say that all u want.
The guy was just talking to an invisible person in his chair......I rest my case !
Yawns
Your hoax failed, the democrats never accepted their loss in 2016
Chucky is a fraud!
We do. It was the spineless Republicans who showed us their true colors! They are cowards. They have no ethics, chatacter, or character!!
Deluded... but he always has been. More high crimes to come out soon... But from the Democrat's vault of secrets....
Sore loser
It’s called sulking .
Ooooooh shut up man .;ddd U lost get over it
Schumer is SleazeBag in Chief.
When crying wolf doesn’t stop.
Sinvergüenza
TermLimitsforCongress
And we can handle the truth 😎
Keep seeking the truth. So much more to come out. But hurry or Barr will put a stop to it.
Trump is upsetting you dinosaurs in DC's apple carts. I CANT WAIT to see what President Trump does his next term to expose some of your crap
SenSchumer u are Delusional
Thank you, SenSchumer America thanks you and we are all now cognizant that a President and a political party have been purchased by Vladimir Putin. So we’re worried and you’ll have to show us what to do next. Waiting for November is impossible, so something more, please. 🙏🇺🇸😞
whypad A Bit of Coincidence As We Recognise In UK That We Have More Instances of Fascism Than Democracy, & In US They Are Warning of Losing Their Democracy!
Democracy has died and Mitt Romney is a new hero.
This American witnessed the obstruction of Congress and the cover-up of Trump's misdeeds by a corrupt GOP Senate. I am proud that Democrats in the House and Senate cared enough about the Constitution and the country to have fought the good fight. Thank you.
So impeach Biden?
🤣
Dear old man! go to the vacation to Venezuela and no joda más!
I know this is not over for the left they will continue?
Your truth or the real truth?
The Democrat leaders seem to be able to do nothing but lie, lie, lie
Conclusive. The ImpeachmentHoax was a sham and an attempted coup. FAILED. How’s that IowaCaucus going for you geniuses
Best of three anyone?
Get the f..k outta here nuffsaid
Hmm, Impeached twice? Historical indeed. 👏👏
Kick u out from me
And the Senate’s foot firmly up their butts
Loser
But regardless what the Republican’s concluded (Except Romney) the Emperor Really has no Clothes
Republicans violated the oath they swore to have a fair & unbiased trial! They must be held accountable, sued for violating federal law and removed from office ASAP! ACLU PLEASE represent the American people and seek justice! If no one is above the law then go to court for us!!
As is right!
Does what? Look for corruption?
I can't wait for your retirement, your such an ineffective leader. Your strategies repeatedly fail! Your simply a pretty good orator and that about it.
Well u could move forward with the financial crimes, emoluments, stormy daniels,... so much keep the pressure... don't let this mfer slide.
CNN NYTIMES WASHINGTONPOST MSNBC CBSNEWS FOXNEWS AP BBCWorld Reuters Even more dangerous now than before. He knows that he is above the law. He even openly threaten to go after all Republicans. Who down talked or voted against him.
they’ll still be bitching about 2016 when 45 is sworn in again in 2021
FakeImpeachment
Incredible wasting of tax payers' money. Please get back to business.
So if Hillary had won the election, would everyone push for her impeachment since she bought the Russian dossier to smear her political opponent?
Schumer is a two faced goof!!!!!
SenSchumer please let everyone else have some oxygen, go home it looks like you’re going to have a aortic infarction. We get it you lost . Can we focus on the real stuff that we need education reform and infrastructure please let us vote. Remember who votes for you
⛔️bad behavior⛔️
GuiltyOldParty
Correct that's how you keep him in line to make sure he has learned his lesson according to Senator Collins! We didn't spend all that money to teach him a lesson it was to remove him from power
When do you get it: there will be no next president.
I never thought I’d actually side with Romney.. he’s the only Con that isn’t smoking crack.. or at least he’s a functioning crackhead
So lying chuck is already letting you know what their plan is
Apparently he didn’t get the memo...
Hey Chuck, here's an idea: why not make imprinted T-shirts with your favorite slogan on them? ' Let's Impeach Everyone' ( L.I.E.)
You’re wrong Chuck. Then they should impeach every president.
He can be impeached more than two times or three times
And when the previous president did it?
Quote:To all the heart-broken Liberals out there, your President, Donald J. Trump, will play some ethnic Pan Flute music to soothe your crying eyes. AcquittedForLife Congratulations Mr. President!
Chuck must have missed the votes to acquit. PermanentAcquittal
Go home Nancy you’re drunk
I miss the democrats of old. These ones today are crazy American betraying sneaks.
Riiiggggeeeddd!!
Politicians DIDN'T make Trump the president The media DIDN'T make Trump the president The American people made Trump the president He won 30 states He won all of the Swing states He won Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin and North Carolina.
Nancy should never have agreed conduct a sham partisan impeachment.
Thank God for President Trump!!
Wow. This country is getting screwed from the front & the back.
Back to back MVP
davidrhurdsr Pelosi is wrong she needs help
Madam Speaker, get ready. The heat is going to be on you. I hope you handle it.
Democrats refuse to accept anything that gos against their quest for complete power to rule over the people
Last kick of a dead horse
Bad loser 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m sorry. But politics just ruins humanity even more than it already is. It just gives us more to argue about.
If AdamSchiff Pelosi conducted fair impeachment hearings by calling eye witnesses rather than witnesses AdamSchiff met with 2 prepare their testimony....guess realDonaldTrump so dangerous she held onto articles of impeachment 4 weeks until she could get tv time
By manipulating a fake whistle blower scam?
Nancy is the real threat. Have another cocktail why don’t you.
She needs to resign. An irrational career politicians who only hates is a threat to the republic.
Maybe if she actually did impeachable offenses like taking money from Saudi princes to give them weapons to kill Yemenis. Then again, there’d be a lot of Democrats in that circle too. They all cozy up to murderers.
Isn't winning great. PelosiTantrum
There's a whole posse of people that fit this description... 😪
Calls her Nervous Nancy, doesn't shake her hand. Maybe he can blackmail a few Congresspersons to get her fired.
I just wrote down “Trump is Impeached” onto a piece of paper, then I ripped the paper in half 😂🤣
Just wait nance I’m certain you’ll get another shot at it. Probably lose again but at least you tried
Yes he does. And now he a vindictive, smug and vicious threat.
Up yours
Okay Boomer
STFU NASTY Nancy
She & others bring up a good point. What's to stop POTUS from doing this again? It is election season.
A threat to your corrupt group of elite philanthropists.
she wants to be fired ?
😭😭😭😭😭😭
No. That makes no sense.
Reasonably effective argument, Madame Speaker. SpeakerPelosi You simply can't stop now. Make your legacy known, dear. He loves the competition. realDonaldTrump
Nancy an Dems just confirmed trump2.0 with impeachment thing...
I would be giving POTUS to much credit to say... he is making a fool out of the democrat party and its MSM propagandists.
