republican witnesses corroborated the basic facts day in and day out. those facts used to be in dispute before the whistleblowers and the transcripts and the witnesses. republicans disputed the facts. and the facts came out. all republicans could do was discredit the witnesses, distract, deflect. the facts are now undisputed. what s left is whether what trump did is impeachable and that is in dispute. no house republican we know of indicated they will vote to impeach. in fact, here was one, will hurd, a frequent trump critic. an impeachable offense should be compelling, overwhelmingly clear and unambiguous and it s not something to be rushed or taken lightly. i have not heard president commit bribery. and all the foreign policy traces we ve been hearing over
we could we could prove our case beyond a reasonable doubt to those people who are open to the facts, and yet the republican senate could say, you know what, we re not going to defend the constitution. we re not going to defend the rule of law. we re going to defend the president in his in his misconduct. that could happen. but i think there would be consequences for those senators if they broke their oath of office and did not support and defend the constitution. congressman steven lynch, congressman thank you very much and next up, deny, deflect, repeat. the messaging spin cycle over quid pro quo goes into high gear. plus, the problems piling up for president trump, the latest national polls are not looking good for him. and now, he s just suffered a big defeat in court over his taxes. i have moderate to severe pnow, there s skyrizi. things are getting clearer, yeah i feel free to bare my skin yeah that s all me. nothing and me go hand in hand
