Graham and McConnell get all the headlines fighting for Trump in impeachment. But Sen. Mike Lee is the quiet force behind preparations with the president and his team to clear him at trial

Lindsey Graham is fighting President Donald Trump’s impeachment case on Twitter and every media outlet that will have him. Mitch McConnell is swatting down Democratic demands and pledging to acquit the president.

As soon as Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry this fall, Lee began regularly talking with the president and White House counsel Pat Cipollone about how to plan for the storm. Importantly, Lee has helped advise Trump and his team that the Senate shouldn’t just try to dismiss the impeachment charges"He has every reason to be confident about this, every reason to be unapologetic and defiantly confident about his case.

Republicans who have fought with Lee in previous instances are delighted to have him as an ally at such a critical moment. Lee's effort comes amid harsh criticism from Democrats that Republicans are working too closely with the White House on the trial. But few are surprised that Lee is one of the ringleaders.

But Lee has also been there for the GOP when it counts. His work on impeachment echoes his successful bid to persuade Sen. Jeff Flake to support Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Both episodes show a conservative rabble-rouser who is willing to be an effective team player on some of the most difficult issues of the day.people in the GOP caucus who can win praise from both Trump-skeptic Republicans like Romney and senior officials in the White House.

Eric Ueland, Trump’s legislative director, said that “input from Sen. Lee has been valuable throughout the impeachment process to date.”

So, an oath before God has no meaning to Republicans. And neither does the word conservative.

Another coward who knows full well that Drumpf needs to go buy lacks the courage of Utah's other Senator, Romney.

Trump may get acquitted in the Senate but he will always be known as a president that was impeached.

So he’s fighting with Lindsay to be the first set of lips on Trump’s butt in the Senate?

Mike Lee will get Trump acquitted.💓🤣💜💋👠🇺🇸💓😍

Sham impeachment by corrupt democRATS and their propaganda media

The impeachment will always stand, even if the corrupt Senate turns a blind eye, and doesnt remove him. Get a clue.

I am old enough to remember when SenMikeLee was a conservative.

That’s silly -a GOP majority is the obvious force that will get him acquitted.

Another Senator refusing to honor his oath.

He doesnt look so quiet in this pic

Good things Republitards don't let a thing like an oath get in the way of their obstruction of justice.

Umm I’d say the majority Republican Senate is the primary reason. His acquittal is so simple, a caveman could do it.

May he fail at every turn

Sanctifying a corrupt POS as the Great White Hope is an interesting stretch for this former neighbor of Harry Reid faux Tea Party insider.

How do people like Lee even justify the very existence of a person like trump?

Lord I hope not. Trump must be removed from office ASAP.

SenMikeLee is a huge embarrassment to Utah.

Gooooood luuuuuuck. Oh and get paid up front if you want to get paid at all.

It demonstrates SenMikeLee prefers a place at Trump’s side to the LDS Church. Trump is everything Mormons are against, except for his alcohol abstinence and having 5 kids. Ordinarily he’d need one more to save 7 souls, but w/3 wives, he’s good at 8.

Funny how dems want a fair trial in the senate. The house was anything but....

What American businesses did Sen. Mike Lee meet with when he was in Moscow?

Oh. Like wow

It’s not a trial when everyone has made up their mind already

Former Michigan GOP Rep. Dave Trott: “We can only hope Congress impeaches and removes him so we have a choice between two adults in 2020.”

the Clintons sold us out to the Chinese Mafia. And now Trump has sold us out to the Russian Mafia. Is that a 'quid pro quo'? God save us all! Merry Christmas to all! 🥺

You mean this guy? Crazy how quickly GOP has sold their soul to Trump

“Lee spent his time in Moscow meeting with Russian lawmakers and the American business community here, two groups of people keen to have economic sanctions eased. Lee says it's time to review the multiple sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Russia.”

The other quiet forces being the law and the evidence. Those two forces also are pushing for acquittal.

He is disqualified from taking the oath. That's 4 who should not be allowed to participate. They cannot be partial and take the oath. It will be perjury.
