‘Keep Those Articles Here’: Top Dem Demands Quid Pro Quo Before Sending Impeachment To Senate
December 19, 2019 By Chrissy Clark
Democratic House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn told CNN, if it were up to him, he would withhold articles of impeachment from the Senate indefinitely. Clyburn said he would only send the articles of impeachment to the Senate for if Democrat’s were promised a “fair†trial.
By “fair trial,†Clyburn means allowing new witnesses and deliberation to take place in the Senate. But, deliberations and witness testimony is a job meant for the House of Representatives. Clearly, Rep. Adam Schiff and House Democrats bungled their hearings and concluded with extremely weak articles of impeachment they know will get zero bipartisan support. Now, they want more witnesses called because they didn’t do their job well their first time.
