Both sides say the outcome of President Trump’s impeachment trial will have a momentous impact on the nation’s future.
WASHINGTON — President Trump “endangers our national security” and presents a “uniquely dangerous” threat to the rule of law, said the brief submitted by House Democrats ahead of Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, which will begin on Tuesday.
“Unless he is removed from office, he will continue to endanger our national security,” the Democrats warned in their Saturday brief. The Democrats’ brief, for its part, calls Trump “the Framers’ worst nightmare” and warns that he could do “irreparable damage” to American government if allowed to remain in office.
“Mr. Clinton has recognized that this relationship was wrong,” Sensenbrenner went on to say. “I give him credit for that.” Later in his opening remarks, Sensenbrenner said that letting Clinton get away with “serial lying under oath” would “cause a cancer to be present in our society for generations.” But he was not calling Clinton a cancer; and there was no reference to the “danger” of Clinton remaining in office. He argued instead that, on the merits of the case, Clinton should be removed.
The one House Republican who entertained the idea of impeaching Trump, Justin Amash of Michigan, was basically forced out of the party and now calls himself an independent. One of three House Democrats who didn’t line up with their party on the issue, Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, became a Republican instead of trying to explain himself before fellow Democrats. Trump himself stokes this notion. “This Impeachment Hoax is an outrage!” he recently said on Twitter.
