Schiff says Trump compromised 2020 election and removal from office is only solution by jonward11
WASHINGTON — House impeachment managers began three days of opening arguments Wednesday afternoon in the Senate trial, aiming to prove that President Trump abused the power of the presidency, obstructed Congress, and has so compromised the integrity of the 2020 election that removing him from office is the only valid solution.
“You heard every word and argument in this impeachment trial, and I know we are all grateful for that. It was an exhausting day, but we have adrenaline going through our veins, and for those who are required to sit and listen, it is a much more difficult task,” Schiff said. Story continues“They feared that a president would subvert our democracy by abusing the awesome power of the office for his own personal or political gain. And so they devised a remedy for the evil it was meant to combat, impeachment,” Schiff said.
And Schiff made the remarkable assertion that impeachment is necessary because Trump’s attempts to solicit Ukrainian interference in the 2020 election have called the integrity of the presidential contest into question. Cipollone on Tuesday had a less than stellar showing in the first day of proceedings in the trial, apparently caught off guard by Schiff’s aggressive prosecution of the case against Trump from the beginning of what many thought would be a sleepy debate over the rules of the trial.On Wednesday, Cipollone and the rest of his legal team had no role other than to sit and listen to Schiff and the other House managers make their arguments.
The Republicans thought Schiff was wrapping up. Instead he said he was turning to a new topic, and an audible groan went up among the Republicans.
