Friend, the Senate still needs a fair impeachment trial

Friend, Donald Trump was impeached by the House—but the Republican-controlled Senate refuses to uphold its oath by holding a fair & full trial. Former National Security adviser John Bolton now [says he would testify]( in a Senate trial, which could potentially be huge. But Republicans don't want to call any witnesses. They want to shut it down as quickly as possible, so that Donald Trump gets acquitted. Call Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand at (202) 224-4451 and Senator Charles E. Schumer at (202) 224-6542. When you reach an aide, leave the following message: Hello, my name is Friend calling from Zip Code 10016 in New York. The allegations against President Trump are serious. The Senate must hold a fair & public trial—with witnesses and evidence—to fully vet the case against him. Anything less would violate the Senate's oath.

Several admitted they would not be fair jurors, and Mitch McConnell openly bragged about coordinating with Trump's defense attorneys. They want no witnesses, because they know that Trump is guilty. And [new evidence]( only further confirms how he abused his power. Now that Trump has provoked war with Iran, they are hoping to derail the impeachment process. But even committed neocon war hawk John Bolton—who has intimate knowledge of Trump's shakedown with the Ukraine—now says [he would testify]( at a Senate trial. Call Senator Kirsten E.
