To a, that came culmination on the floor of the house and the judiciary the guidance of Jerrold Nadler of new york and the Intelligence Community under adam schiff of california brought the articles of impeachment to the floor to a conclusion where they have passed. I thank them for their tremendous leadership.

A blank about ukraine someone agreed saying the president cared only about big stuff the diplomat noted that there was big stuff in ukraine like a war with russia and so on then replied that the president cared only about big stuff that benefits him personally like the biden investigation that mr giuliani was pushing in that short conversation we learned everything we need to know about the 45th president of the United States he doesnt care about ukraine or the impact on our National Security caused by withholding military aid to that country fighting for its democratic life. All that matters to this president is what affects him personally an investigation into his political rival and a chance to cheat in the next election as professor gephardt testified before the Judiciary Committee 2 weeks ago if what were talking about is not impeachable then nothing is impeachable even as this body uncovered the facts of this ukraine scheme even as we opened an impeachment inquiry even as we gath
The senate has confirmed 174 judges nominated by President Trump including two justices to the supreme court. 50 Appellate Court judges. President trump making history and delivering on his Campaign Promises as no other president and achieving so much for the working men and women, cutting taxes, millions of jobs, raising wages, growing our economy, shrinking welfare as a result. As these are not only good times they are great. And they are rolling. We had a very big day in the stock market as you know, it will be 133 days where we set a new record. Our whole country is thriving, it is thriving like never before in the jobs numbers are incredible, less than 51 years, i think soon will be able to say his stork, more people are working today in the United States that anytime ever in our history. Almost up to 160 million people, weve never been close. Lou this is all historic, despite all of this there are of course the heaters in a particular the party of hate and lies first the radical
Is dick durbin here . There you are. Sen. Durbin thank you everybody. The house is moving forward as you know with two articles of impeachment against the president of the United States. The gravity of the charges and our sworn duty to uphold and defend the constitution demand that all senators put party, put country over party and examine the facts without prejudice or partisanship. Is not lost on the members of the United States senate that the white house made a choice to block witnesses from testifying under oath, and a has refused to provide documents that might disprove the evidence against the president. Anyone in america watching this would draw the same logical conclusion, that the president has something to hide and republican senators, too many of them, our intent in helping him hide it.

This team going on that there was a shadow Foreign Policy to get trump this political dirt that he was searching for but republicans have said there that theres still no smoking gun theres no one thats testified distinctly to the president s intent which is still the key to all of this and thats why looking forward after whats today whats expected to be todays historic vote on the house floor where democrats certainly have the numbers to impeach President Trump more of this evidence will be hashed out on the senate side in the coming new year or so thats when well see trumps trial likely to have been and in that chamber controlled by republicans its a big question what type of evidence republicans will allow to come forward to perhaps still clarify that big question mark as to the president s motives. Where hearing from both sides now and i believe thats 6 hours of debates or 3 a. As for the democrats 3 hours for the republicans and then theyll have a vote then as you say it goes to th
