    Former Republican lawmakers tell current GOP: Consider full evidence on impeachment

    (CNN)Two former Republican lawmakers urged their current successors to consider the evidence produced during the inquiry into President Donald Trump's Ukraine dealings in determining whether to support impeachment.

    William Cohen, a former Republican senator from Maine and secretary of defense who backed impeachment during the Watergate inquiry, and Slade Gorton, a former Washington state Republican senator and attorney general who also backed President Richard Nixon's impeachment, made the comments on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" Friday evening.

    Their counsel comes on the same day that Rep. Justin Amash, a Michigan independent who left the Republican Party this summer, announced that he would support impeachment articles against Trump -- the first lawmaker to do so who is not a Democrat.

    ... https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/06/politics/former-lawmakers-listen-impeachment-gop-cnntv/index.html

    I fear they will not listen, though. They just want to stay on the Congressional gravy train and fear that to cross Trump and his populist base, who clearly have no chance of considering evidence of their Dear Leader's misdeeds, would mean losing in the next election. The selfish interests of career Republican representatives and senators will rule the day.

    I can predict the future ....

    Trump will be impeached.

    Trump will be acquitted.

    Trump will be re-elected.

    Trump will be impeached.

    Trump will be acquitted.

    Trump will retire and write the best selling (non-Bible) book of all time.

    Republicans will name streets and parks after Trump.

    Democrats will vandalize anything with "Trump" written on it.

    The Republican Senators are absolutely spineless. If they accidentally developed a bit of character, they would instantly be ashamed of themselves.

    It must help them a lot to be #resisting Democrats, the majority of the American people and their own good sense together, in a big mutually supporting and reinforcing group.

    The most disgusting aspect about this whole impeachment fiasco is you have Jack the Ripper accusing Son of Sam of wrong doing. What a btch.

    Not sure what you mean. Accusations against Biden and other Democrats are generally Fake News.

    The Democrats btchn about obstruction is like Jack the Ripper whining about too many scalpels in the world.

    They are immoral cretins who use the Constituition, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights as toilet paper to wipe their leaking orifices when ever it’s political convenient to do so.

    If America’s future liberty, honor, and prosperity is dependent upon the Democratrats defending her and the individual rights of her citizens, we might as well invite Maduro to be our President.

    The hypocrisy of Congress is only exceeded by the BS it feeds the voters.

    Where was their honor during Clinton? Where was the honor during Benghazi? Where was their honor during the Kavanaugh hearings? Where was their honor when Maduro was destroying Venezuela? Where is their honor period? Down the toilet, like our liberties.

    There are no principled men in DC—just pull peddlers, demagogues, and power lusters.

    Democrats? The savior of the Republic? more like Marcus Aurelius Commodus, it’s destroyer.

    If the Democrats were truly souls of honor, were really desperate to save the Republic, they’d impeach Trump, apologize to the American people for being evil power lusters like Trump, and resign en mass.

    Trump is the best President America has ever had. Even better than Abe Lincoln.

    God bless him.

    You've just said a lot of nasty things about Democrats without any supporting evidence. Trump's misdeeds are on the public record. What have Democrats done that is so bad?

    Shokin testified under oath in Ukraine.. Do you really want the Republicans to ask him to testify to the Senate... Should be loads of fun dont you agree?

    Unless the Democrats pay a heavy price for this, every president from now on will always be facing impeachment.

    I don't think they would do anything other than that. Unlike their enemies in the House

    Here's an alternative:

    Trump will be impeached.
    Trump will be acquitted by the Senate.
    Trump will lose the 2020 election.
    Trump will be indicted and tried.
    Trump will be found guilty.
    Trump will be sentenced to prison.
    Republicans will photo-shop him out of having ever existed, along with the penalty of expulsion from the Party of whomsoever shall mention his name in the future.

    Are you suggesting that only people mentioned as part of the phone call are relevant?

    One thing that pisses me off is when Democrat speaks for the “majority of the American people”.

    Well... not really pisses me off all that much, but amuses me greatly. Such naïveté :D
