The impeachment trial taking place at the Senate against Donald Trump is expected to close over the next few days. However, Trump recently showed that he still has some things to say to his critics, particularly the Democrats, in one of his latest Twitter rants.
Trump is expected to be acquitted for the charges placed against him by the House and the Democrats. The results appear to be going that way due to the many times the Republican senators have blocked any call for witnesses to testify nor ask John Bolton, whose information shed light on the Ukraine scandal that started everything, to come and speak out regarding his information. But Politicalflare reports that Trump took to Twitter to bash Democrats once again, mocking their efforts in the impeachment trial by asking for the whistleblower, and it appears that this will be one of his many Twitter rants regarding the issue that will come as the trial continues.
Trump even singled out Lead Impeachment Manager Representative Adam Schiff in his tweet, calling him corrupt and accused him of fabricating his conversation with the Ukrainian President. Trump also said that the House did not do their job among many other things that he thinks they did.
Nevertheless, the deciding vote to whether or not remove Trump from office lies with the Senators. The Daily Mail reports that Schiff laid out the closing arguments of the prosecution with a plea for the Senators to vote for Trump’s removal. Schiff warned the senators, who serve as jurors of the trial, that there is nothing else that can be done to get Trump to do the right thing. Schiff also warned the senators that to acquit the President was to give him absolute power and that the senators themselves could also become Trump’s next “victims.”
“Every single vote, even a single vote by a single member can change the course of history. It is said that a single man or woman of courage makes a majority. Is there one among you who will say ‘enough?’” said Schiff in his closing argument.
Meanwhile, Trump’s defense attorney Ken Starr accused the Democrats of wanting to nullify the 2016 election. Deputy White House counsel Patrick Philbin called the impeachment trial a “partisan political process” while White House counsel Pat Cipollone asked the Senate to end the “era of impeachment once and for all.”
