President Trump's impeachment trial will be extended until Wednesday according to journalist Paul Sperry and confirmed by Fox News.
Despite the pressure campaign to flip undecided Republicans to the Democrats' demand for witnesses, holdout Sen. Lisa Murkowski is now a 'no' on calling witnesses, virtually ensuring President Trump will be acquitted within the next week.
It looks like Hunter Biden can sleep well at night in his $12,000 per month Hollywood home after Politico reports that the GOP has enough Republican Senators to block witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial.
In a Thursday night Twitter thread, Alexander says "There is no need for more evidence to prove that the president asked Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter..." and that "The president withheld United States aid, at least in part, to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens."
Still, Alexander argues that while Trump acted inappropriately, "The Constitution does not give the Senate the power to remove the president from office and ban him from this year's ballot simply for actions that are inappropriate." He also reasons that "The framers believed that there should never, ever be a partisan impeachment. That is why the Constitution requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate for conviction. Yet not one House Republican voted for these articles."
"It would create the weapon of perpetual impeachment to be used against future presidents whenever the House of Representatives is of a different political party."
Susan Collins has taken a ration of flack over social media for essentially virtue signaling to the Democrats when she knew Alexander would be a 'no' - and the battle over Bolton and the Bidens was never going to happen.
