Sen. Dick Durbin
Feb. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Joseph Maguire did the one thing that isn't allowed in this Administration: tell the truth. First with regards to the Ukraine whistleblower, & now Russian election interference. Our nation relies on the intelligence community to provide the facts free from political interference."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Feb. 6, 2020
Tweet - "As a student from East St. Louis, my first internship was for Sen. Paul Douglas. I learned firsthand what an exciting and valuable experience interning in the Senate can be. Great to meet with the impressive group of young men and women interning in D.C. this spring."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Feb. 4, 2020
Tweet - "Closing the door on evidence & witnesses was the end of any effort by Senate Republicans to show impartial justice in the Senate impeachment proceedings. In 2019, Leader McConnell turned the Senate into a partisan legislative graveyard. 2020 is not shaping up to be any better."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
Feb. 2, 2020
Tweet - "Note to editors and producers: please do not refer to the "Senate Impeachment Trial." There were no sworn witnesses, no documents, no evidence, and clearly no trial. Please refer to it as "That Senate Impeachment Thing.""

Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "After hearing from the House managers & the President's defense team as they made their cases & answered questions from Senators, I remain convinced that getting access to key documents & witnesses is essential to holding a full & fair trail. Anything less would be a cover up."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "Tune in to @MSNBC soon, I'll be joining @AriMelber to discuss the impeachment trial and the upcoming vote on whether or not the Senate will have relevant witnesses & key documents."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "Today, the Senate received this powerful letter from 100 legal scholars and leading impeachment experts from across the country, pointing out that abuse of power & non-criminal acts are impeachable and "a president may not abuse the powers of his office to secure re-election.""
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin

Rep. Chuy Garcia
Jan. 30, 2020
Tweet - "Have not yet heard a good explanation for why these funds were held up after DoD officials sounded the alarm that it was in violation of the law & harmful to our Ukrainian allies. Like @RepJasonCrow said-this delay mattered. For Ukraine, in the midst of a war, any delay mattered."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 30, 2020
Tweet - "Sec. Pompeo's stunning silence in the face of threats targeting Amb. Yovanovitch is inexcusable. As the nation's top diplomat, Sec. Pompeo must take seriously the well-being of the men & women who work at the State Dept. I'm joining my colleagues in demanding an investigation."
