Impeachment is a divisive issue in our country.
I didn't believe in it then, I don't believe in it now.
That whistleblower material must be made available to Congress.
So you did ask Ukraine to look into Joe Biden.
Of course I did.
I've had conversations with many leaders their always appropriate.
I did not think that Donald Trump could shock me anymore.
He's gotta go.
I'm announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward
with an official impeachment inquiry.
Look, it's just a continuation of the witch hunt.
To impeach any president over a phone call like this would be insane.
And you read it that nobody push it. Pushed me. Yes.
In other words, no pressure.
Serious, urgent, credible.
Disturbing, alarming.
This case is unique and unprecedented.
You look at that conversation, there's no threat.
There's no quid pro quo.
It's a hyper partisan environment.
I'm just tired of it.
It could not be explained. It was crazy.
It was terrible. It's not the way I wanted my career to end.
I knew that I had to report this.
Was there a quid pro quo? The answer is yes.
The instructions are coming from the President on down.
I'm too busy to watch it.
Everybody has their impression of what truth is.
Who would benefit from from an investigation into the Bidens?
I assume President Trump would benefit.
There we have it, see.
He said, 'oh yeah, he's gonna do it. He'll do anything you ask.'
I think this is all going to blow up. And here we are.
You're going to impeach and remove a president for this.
They call it the impeachment hoax.
Is this must-watch TV? Absolutely not.
Today I'm asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment.
I've been very disappointed how the House has handled this.
The House Committee on the Judiciary is introducing two articles of impeachment,
charging the President of the United States.
Ay.
My vote is no.
No.
Ay.
There are 23 aus and 17 now.
This is really a travesty for America.
Why do we keep calling this a solemn occasion
when you've been wanting to do this ever since the gentleman was elected?
Enough is enough.
I hope that we will finally move past this nightmare.
The evidence is overwhelming.
That's a bunch of bog.
It's a sham.
It's a sham impeachment.
You simply don't like him.
I don't hate the president. But I love my country
and I have no other choice.
Article I is adopted.
He is president today, he'll be president tomorrow.
I said 'how you doing?'
'Well, I'm being impeached other than that I'm doing okay.'
I do.
Those addressing the Senate should remember where they.
I move to table the amendment.
Table the amendment.
This is corruption and abuse of power in its purest form.
It is the same thing day after day after day.
Well, you're the ones who voted against new evidence, new testimony, new documents.
He obstructed us, he's trying to obstruct you.
If you don't bring on a witness, if you don't have evidence
and don't have documents you don't have a trial.
The President did absolutely nothing wrong.
John Bolton.
John R. Bolton's forthcoming book.
And the testimony of Bolton.
Nothing was ever said to John Bolton, but I have not seen a manuscript.
We're all staring a White House cover up in the face.
He's trying to sell a book.
It really doesn't change anything.
As a trial is any 10-year old knows, we should have witnesses.
That gets us into this endless cycle of...
and this drags on for weeks and months.
I'm ready to vote and I'm ready to vote now.
48 senators have pronounced Donald John Trump, President of the United States, guilty as charged.
52 senators have pronounced him not guilty as charged.
