John,
The Senate is about to hold an impeachment trial on whether or not to remove Donald Trump from office based on his abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. But over the last few weeks, we learned that Senator Mitch McConnell plans to conduct the upcoming Senate trial in “total coordination” with and “taking cues” from the White House.
Senate Republicans have refused to commit to calling any first-hand witnesses or demanding any relevant documents.
Why? Mitch McConnell knows that only a sham trial can protect Trump.
Over the holidays, new, incriminating emails were released that reaffirm Trump’s guilt. They showed that senior Trump officials in the Office of Management and Budget wanted the Ukraine aid released and were overruled by Trump himself, and that Trump officials in the Department of Justice scrambled to keep Congress from finding out why.
Every unredacted email reinforced one central point: Ukraine aid was being held up solely to advance Trump’s political agenda as he sought to extort illegal assistance from the Ukrainian government for his re-election campaign.
These emails -- which a court order released -- represent only a fraction of the documents that the House has subpoenaed and that the White House refuses to hand over.
But Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump do not want the Senate to see a single document or talk to a single first-hand witness.
We cannot allow them to rig this process. The Senate must hold a full and fair impeachment trial.
In solidarity,
Free Speech For People
P.S. Even if your senator supports removing Donald Trump, they still need to hear from you. As the rules of the Senate trial are being decided this week, this is the moment for a groundswell of political pressure.
