The process being used in the House to impeach President Trump is
an affront to any concept of due process and will further divide
the country.















John,

Impeaching a president is incredibly serious, so I want you to
hear directly from me on this important matter.

Voting in support of the impeachment of President Trump under
these circumstances will do great damage to the institutions of
government and could invite further violence at a time the
President is calling for calm.

If there was a time for America's political leaders to bend a
knee and ask for God's counsel and guidance, it is now. The most
important thing for leaders to do in times of crisis is to make
things better, not worse.

The process used in the House of Representatives today to impeach
President Trump was an affront to any concept of due process and
will further divide the country. The President, who will be
leaving office in less than a week, has committed to an orderly
transfer of power, encouraging calm, and rejecting violence.

The House sought to legitimize a snap impeachment totally void of
due process. There were no hearings or witnesses. It was a rushed
process that sets a new precedent, and it will become a threat to
future presidents.

Additionally, I fear leaders of the Senate are making the problem
worse, not better. The last thing the country needs is an
impeachment trial of a president who is leaving office in one
week.

Democrats previously impeached the President over a matter which
was not worthy of that process. Now they have done it again,
believing that this effort will wash for history the fact that
the first impeachment was based on the thinnest of pretenses: a
phone call with the leader of Ukraine. Impeachment should never
be a 'do-over,' but that is what Democrats have done today.

I believe my Republican colleagues who legitimize this process
are doing great damage to the country, the future of the
presidency, and the Republican Party.

The millions who have supported President Trump and his agenda
should not be demonized because of the despicable actions of a
seditious mob. The individuals who participated in the storming
of the U.S. Capitol should be met with the full force of the law.
They should and will be held accountable.

Sincerely,



Lindsey Graham
United States Senator
