Politician
Jan. 14, 2020
Tweet - "First, Democrats spent weeks saying the House case was totally convincing. Now, the opposite: They say the House case is so thin that if the Senate judges what the House actually voted on, it's a "cover-up." Their own investigation was so shallow that it now equals a "cover-up"?"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 14, 2020
Tweet - "We've reached a simple contradiction. The House case cannot be so robust that it was enough to rush into impeachment, and enough for Senate Democrats to start pre-judging guilt, but also so weak that they need the Senate to go fishing. These two stories cannot both be true."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 14, 2020
Tweet - "It's clear Democrats see impeachment as one big political game. Sen. Schumer told reporters that as long as the process hurts Republicans, "it's a win-win." The country deserves better. We're overdue for some seriousness and sober judgment. That is what the Senate will bring."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 14, 2020
Tweet - "In December, House Democrats pulled the plug on their investigation and impeached because they said it was urgent & they had already proven their case. But now they've delayed for weeks to insist that the Senate re-open their inquiry. So -- neither urgent nor persuasive?"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 14, 2020
Impeachment
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 13, 2020
Tweet - "I'm glad the Speaker may finally be realizing she never had any "leverage" to dictate Senate procedure to Senators. The Senate was never going to pre-commit ourselves to redoing the prosecutors' homework for them."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 13, 2020
Tweet - "If House Democrats were confident their own investigation was persuasive, they would not be so desperate to get the Senate to reopen it. The House has signaled they're afraid for the Senate to judge the case they will actually send us. The case they voted for."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 12, 2020
NBC "Meet the Press" - Transcript: Interview with Sen. Rand Paul
Sen. Rand Paul
Jan. 9, 2020
Guthrie Votes "No' on War Powers Resolution
Rep. Steven Guthrie
Jan. 9, 2020
Tweet - "This is a challenging time to create bipartisan agreement. But the Speaker Pelosi has managed to do the impossible. She has created growing bipartisan unity -- in opposition to her own reckless games with impeachment."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 8, 2020
CNN "The Situation Room" - Transcript: Interview With Sen. Rand Paul
Sen. Rand Paul
Jan. 8, 2020
Tweet - "There will be no haggling with the House over Senate procedure. We will not cede our authority to try this impeachment. The House Democrats' turn is over. The Senate has made its decision. This is for the Senate, and the Senate only, to decide."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 8, 2020
Tweet - "A majority of the Senate has decided that the first phase of an impeachment trial should track closely with the unanimous bipartisan precedent that all 100 senators supported for the first phase of the Clinton trial in 1999."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 8, 2020
Impeachment
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 7, 2020
Dr. Paul Sponsors Resolution Allowing Senate to Dismiss Articles of Impeachment
Sen. Rand Paul
Jan. 7, 2020
Tweet - "It's almost as though this House Democrat majority systematically took all of the framers' warnings about partisan abuses of the impeachment power & thought, "sure, let's do that." The American people deserve better."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 7, 2020
Tweet - "I respect my friends across the aisle, but it appears that one symptom of "Trump derangement syndrome" is a bad case of amnesia."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 7, 2020
Tweet - "How embarrassing and revealing for House Democrats to spend weeks telling the American people their partisan impeachment was so very urgent -- and then delay it for political purposes."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 7, 2020
Impeachment
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 6, 2020
CNN "The Situation Room" - Transcript: Interview With Sen. Rand Paul
Sen. Rand Paul
Jan. 6, 2020
Impeachment
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 6, 2020
Tweet - "The Senate's unanimous bipartisan precedent from 1999 left witnesses & other mid-trial questions to the middle of the trial. House Democrats may have scrapped their own precedents to hurt President Trump but they do not call the shots in the Senate."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 6, 2020
Letter to Colleagues - Udall, Paul Call for Vote on Bipartisan Bill to Prevent Unconstitutional War with Iran
Sen. Rand Paul, ...
Jan. 3, 2020
Tweet - "The framers built the Senate to provide a check against the short-termism, the runaway passions, and the "the demon of faction" that Hamilton warned would "extend his sceptre" over the House of Representatives "at certain seasons.""
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 3, 2020
Impeachment
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 3, 2020
Tweet - "The Senate will soon have to address some of the deepest institutional questions contemplated by our Constitution. We'll have to decide whether we are going to safeguard core governing traditions or let short-term partisan rage overcome them."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 31, 2019

Impeachment
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 19, 2019
Tweet - "Last night, House Democrats passed the thinnest, weakest presidential impeachment in American history. Now they're suggesting they are too afraid to even submit their accusations to the Senate and go to trial. The prosecutors are getting cold feet in front of the entire country."

Sen. Rand Paul
Dec. 18, 2019
Tweet - "At 9:30am tomorrow morning, on the Senate floor, I will speak about House Democrats' precedent-breaking impeachment of the President of the United States."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 18, 2019
Tweet - "Before President Clinton's impeachment trial, the Senate passed a bipartisan resolution to lay the basic groundwork. It passed 100 to nothing. I think we should repeat that bipartisan process. Why does Senator Schumer want to invent different rules for President Trump?"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 18, 2019

Impeachment
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 17, 2019
Tweet - "The Democratic Leader wrote me to ask that the Senate break from the 1999 precedents of the Clinton trial and lock in specific witnesses prematurely. It was an interesting letter for several reasons. For one thing, he literally misquoted the Constitution"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 17, 2019
Tweet - "It is remarkable that, before House Democrats have even passed articles of impeachment, Senate Democrats are already pivoting to new demands for the Senate to re-do Chairman Schiff's homework for him."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 17, 2019
Tweet - "Even Senate Democrats seem to be recognizing that the House's slapdash inquiry has failed to come anywhere near the bar for impeaching a duly-elected president, let alone removing him for the first time in American history."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 15, 2019
CNN "State of the Union" - Transcript: Interview With Sen. Rand Paul

Dec. 12, 2019
Tweet - "Speaker Pelosi blocked the USMCA for a whole year after @POTUS got the deal. Finally, House Democrats caved this week after realizing the country won't tolerate "obsess over impeachment, obstruct everything else." But their long delay means it can't become law until 2020."
