WASHINGTON – The procedure of impeachment for Donald Trump to start a quick conclusion, perhaps today. Senator Lamar Alexander, uncertain whether to vote for the motion to ask for new evidence, he broke his silence and said that it will express itself in a negative way. In order for the motion to pass, were required at least four votes of the republicans and Lamar Alexander was one of the very few available to vote in favour.
the Other two republican senators, Susan Collins and Mitt Romney had stated it would vote in favour of the motion while Lisa Murkowski will announce today its decision. The goal of the Democrats was to give the word to John Bolton, the former director of the national security, especially in view of his book in which the former director of national security says that Trump the hopes of the tying of aid to Ukraine in exchange for the revival of the judicial investigation on the Hunter, and Joe Biden.
The choice of Lamar Alexander will push probably the leader of the majority republican in the Senate to ask for a poll, already today, about impeachment, that to move forward he needs a two-thirds majority of the classroom, or 67 senators; the republicans in the Senate are 53 and 47 Democrats. “It’s inappropriate for the president asks a foreign leader to investigate a political opponent, and to depend on the aid of the United States by this,” said Alexander, who, however, does not descend from this line of argument what the Democrats want: “The Constitution gives the Senate the power to remove a president from office simply for actions inappropriate”.
Would, in short, very different, as he explains in the Wall Street Journal in an editorial today: “What could say Bolton – is the law – would not change the outcome of the proceedings. What he writes in the book, the draft of which has been advanced by the New York Times, does not imply that the president has committed a crime by impeachment. Bolton tells us that a behavior that could be considered very questionable, put in place by Trump, but on this, the voters need to express the next November, when will be held the presidential elections.
In the book, entitled “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir”, Bolton claims that Trump said to him, in August last, to tie the block of funds allocated to Ukraine for safety at the start of an investigation by the special power of attorney of Kiev against Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. The secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and the minister of Defense Mark Esper, would have attempted in vain to convince Trump to unlock the aid. The president has always claimed that he never proposed an “exchange of favors”.
