Pelosi: Republican senators are "accomplices to the President's cover-up"

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement tonight that Republicans' vote against witnesses and documents "makes them accomplices to the President's cover-up."

Here's her complete statement:

“The Senate Republicans’ vote against calling witnesses and compelling documents in the impeachment proceedings makes them accomplices to the President’s cover-up.
“The President was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He is impeached forever. There can be no acquittal without a trial. And there is no trial without witnesses, documents and evidence.

“It is a sad day for America to see Senator McConnell require the Chief Justice of the United States to preside over a vote which rejected our nation’s judicial norms, precedents and institutions to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.”

People like her are so rare. The old saying "birds of feather flock together".

.....dark chamber. Boycott the SOTU with only 1/2 of the seats filled. That would make it a house of traitors for the night.

Remember at this point 75% of the country is behind you NOW. Show them when they fight dirty if need be we will do the same.
