"SNIP....

"It may be midnight in Washington, but the sun will rise again. I put my faith in the optimism of the Founders. You should too. They gave us the tools to do the job, a remedy as powerful as the evil it was meant to constrain -- impeachment. 

"They meant it to be used rarely but they put it in the constitution for a reason. For a man who would sell out his country for a political favor, for a man with threatening integrity to our elections, for a man inviting interference in our affairs, a man who would undermine our national security and that of our allies, for a man like Donald J. Trump. They gave you a remedy, and they meant for you to use it. They gave you an oath and they meant for you to observe it. We have proven Donald Trump guilty. Now do impartial justice and convict him."
