Yeah he did, but the biggest lie of day 1 was by Moscow Mitch. He claims he was following the Clinton guidelines for a fair trial. He’s not going to allow a fair trial, he’s leading a cover up. His goal is acquittal and the 53 members of the trump party will follow. Collins, Gardner, Romney, Murkouski aren’t going to rock the boat.
Moscow Mitch won’t allow witnesses next week, it’s a coverup!

I still say, assume he did exactly what Democrats say he did and decide if it is an impeachable offense or not. I say it isn't because nobody has proven he broke a law with intent. This is the first impeachment in history where a proven crime wasn't committed and listed in the articles of impeachment which the Democrats could have done but chose not to.
All Presidents have abused their power according to the opposition party and you can't obstruct Congress by asserting your constitutional right to get a court ruling on a subpoena. Congress doesn't have an absolute right over the Executive branch unless the SC says it does. That is what the SC is for and the idea that "we don't have time for the SC to intervene" could be the scariest, most dangerous thing said in this entire matter. Someone said that the Congress doesn't need the SC to tell it how to do it's job. How stupid is that since the evidence is there to see that it does and it has.
