I have been reading that Thom Tillis, Republican senator from North Carolina running for re-election, might vote to hear witnesses in trump’s impeachment trial. Unless he changes his mind, it’s not going to happen. In reply to my letter, he said, “I have been clear that, based on the unpersuasive evidence collected by the house and the weakness of their case for impeachment, I do not see the need for additional witnesses.” He went on to say it wasn’t the senate’s job to do the work the house failed to do, like issue subpoenas. He then went on to say that, “I will listen to both sides carefullyand join my colleagues in rendering a verdict. I will also make sure trump is treated fairly and receives a presumption of innocence not a presumption of guilt. The president deserves this basic guarantee during the most consequential of constitutional events.” There were also a bunch of lies about how the house denied trump due process and allow him to present a defense.
I am going to wait until tomorrow to reply so I can calm down. Then I will call him a lying sack of shit after I point out his lies.
