American peoples money on this impeachment, theres so many other important things that are going undone. Within this committees own jurisdiction, we should be addressing the opioid epidemic. We could be working together to find a solution to our immigration and asylum challenges on our southern border. We could be protecting americans from having their intellectual property and jobs stolen by chinese companies. And we could be enhancing Election Security just to name a few things. And congress as a whole could be working on rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. Providing additional tax relief to the nations middleclass families and providing additional security to our people here at home and abroad. Instead, here we are spinning our wheels once again on impeachment. What a waste. The American People deserve so much better. I yield back. Gentleman yields back. Mr. Cohen. Thank you, mr. Chair. I take no pleasure in the fact that were here today. As a patriot who loves america, it pain
And conservatives dont want to be around each other and so they have to spread out, you may not see this from like the ivory towers of your law school, but it makes the actual people in this country when the president calls you dont get to interrupt me on this time. Let me also suggest that when you invoke the president s sons name here. When you try to make a little joke out of referencing trump, that does not lend credibility to your argument. It makes you look mean. It makes you look like youre attacking someones family. The minor child of the president of the United States. So lets see if we can get into the facts, to all of the witnesses. If you have personal knowledge of a single Material Fact in the schiff report, please raise your hand. And let the record reflect no personal knowledge of a single fact. And you know what . That continues on the tradition that we saw from adam schiff where ambassador taylor could not identify an Impeachable Offense. Mr. Kent never met with the

How do you think that lands with the American People, and what impact do you think it may have politically going into the rest of this Campaign Season . If i may, a republican senator from a purple state or a blue state like Susan Collins is actually from a blue state, and i vote to dismiss, i think thats trouble for me. But i cant sure. Hey, senator, i have to interrupt you for one second because were coming down. Weve broadcast all of these tallies. Were coming down to the moment where the clerk will report to the chief justice. Does any senator in the chamber wish to change his or her vote . If no, the ayes are 53. The nays are 47. The amendment is tabled. Mr. Chief justice. The democratic leader is recognized. Mr. Chief justice, i send an amendment to the desk to issue a subpoena to john robert bolton, and i ask that it be read. The clerk will report. The senator from new york, mr.

That there was a campaign, a lot of the people outside the Administration Like Rudy Giuliani and his confederates to get marie jovanovich, the u. S. Ambassador, out of ukraine. To push for dirt on the bidens. They will also have the advantage that they did have all their witnesses. They are going to make all these arguments. I suspect they are going to take some time, 24 hours, 20
