When Sen. Lamar Alexander announced last week that he’d oppose including witness testimony in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, his decision wasn’t too surprising – but his rationale was unexpected.
After months in which GOP lawmakers tried to pretend Trump was innocent, Alexander’s line was quickly embraced by many of his colleagues. As the New York Times reported: By yesterday, this Trump’s-guilty-but-we-don’t-care contingent had grown to a size that would’ve been hard to predict when the impeachment trial first began a few weeks ago – when the principal Republican line was that the charges against the president were baseless.
Around the same time, Sen. Pat Toomey added, “I’ve said from the beginning that it was not a perfect phone call and there are elements that were not appropriate. … It doesn’t rise to the level of impeachment.”
