Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 11, 2020

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 11, 2020
Tweet - "ICYMI: This morning I joined @hughhewitt to discuss impeachment and judges. Listen below for excerpts:"

Courier Journal - McConnell: Thanks to the Senate, Trump's reelection will be decided at the ballot box
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 10, 2020

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 6, 2020
STATEMENT: House Democrats Refuse to Condemn Pelosi

Rep. Jamie Comer

Statement on President Trump's Acquittal
Rep. Hal Rogers
Feb. 5, 2020
Tweet - "Moments like this are what the Senate was made for. The Framers knew the country would need a firewall to keep partisan flames from scorching our Republic. So they created the Senate. Today, we will fulfill this founding purpose."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 5, 2020
Tweet - "The architects of this impeachment claimed they were defending norms and traditions. In reality, it was an assault on both. They attacked due process, the office of the presidency, and the Senate's sole power to try impeachments."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 5, 2020
Dr. Rand Paul: "America Deserves Better in the Future'
Sen. Rand Paul

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 4, 2020
Tweet - "At 9:30am, I will speak on the Senate floor about the president's impeachment trial and tomorrow's conclusion to this process. https://cs.pn/2vP6MCp"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 4, 2020
Tweet - "The Framers knew that overheated House majorities might impeach on purely partisan grounds. But they knew that short-term passions could not get the final say. So they placed the ultimate judgment not in the fractious lower chamber, but in the sober and stable Senate."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 4, 2020
Congressman Comer issues statement on President Trump's State of the Union Address
Rep. Jamie Comer
Feb. 4, 2020
Statement on State of the Union Address
Rep. Hal Rogers
Feb. 4, 2020
Tweet - "For three years, Republicans in Congress have partnered with the President to keep America strong and safe and create record-setting prosperity for working families across the country. The results have been a truly all-American comeback. The state of our union is strong."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 4, 2020
Guthrie Response to the State of the Union
Rep. Steven Guthrie
Feb. 4, 2020
Tweet - "Washington Democrats' position on President Trump has been obvious for three years: They believe he committed a "high crime [or] misdemeanor" the moment he defeated Secretary Clinton in the 2016 election. That is the original sin of this presidency: That he won and they lost."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 4, 2020
Impeachment
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 4, 2020
Tweet - "Tomorrow, the Senate will put a stop to this reckless and partisan abuse of power by the House majority. I urge every one of my colleagues to cast the vote that the facts in evidence, the Constitution, & the common good clearly require. Vote to acquit the President."

Feb. 4, 2020
Majority Leader McConnell Comments on President's State of the Union Address

Jan. 31, 2020
McConnell Statement on Next Steps in Senate Impeachment Trial
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "A majority of the U.S. Senate has determined that the numerous witnesses and 28,000-plus pages of documents already in evidence are sufficient to judge the House Managers' accusations and end this impeachment trial. My full statement:"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 28, 2020
CNN "The Situation Room" - Transcript: Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) Is Interviewed About Issue Of Witness, Specifically John Bolton, John Kelly
Sen. Rand Paul
Jan. 21, 2020
Tweet - "In 1999, the Senate unanimously agreed on a basic trial structure that was fair to all parties. Today, we must rise to the occasion and preserve that bipartisan precedent. Our resolution sets up the same basic steps. Fair is fair."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 21, 2020
Tweet - "It will be telling if the House managers try to get the Senate to pre-commit ourselves to supplementing the investigation they themselves oversaw and decided to shut down. Just last week, they said their case as it already exists is "overwhelming" and "beyond a reasonable doubt.""
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 21, 2020
Tweet - "The way the Senate decides to handle mid-trial questions such as witnesses could have institutional consequences that go far beyond this trial and this presidency. We are not going to rush into these questions without even hearing opening arguments."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 21, 2020
Tweet - "There were good reasons why all 100 senators agreed two decades ago that the Senate should not cross these bridges before we came to them. We will not let the architects of the unfair House process convince the Senate to rewrite our rules just for President Trump."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2020
Tweet - "Yesterday, the Speaker celebrated impeachment with souvenir pens, bearing her own golden signature, brought in on silver platters. The House's partisan process distilled into one last perfect visual. Not solemn or serious. A transparently political exercise from beginning to end."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2020
Tweet - ""This body, this chamber, exists precisely so that we can look past daily dramas and understand how our actions will reverberate for generations. The House's hour is over. The Senate's time is at hand. It is time for this proud body to honor our founding purpose.'"

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020
Tweet - "Democrats' impeachment has been nakedly partisan from the beginning. Pelosi admits it was in the making years before events with Ukraine. Schumer says that whatever happens, if it helps him politically, it's a "win-win." They are playing political games with the Constitution."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020
Program
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020
Tweet - "It looks like today's the day. House Democrats may finally stand behind the rushed, unfair, and nakedly partisan impeachment that they themselves delayed for four weeks. The "prosecutors' have finally overcome their cold feet."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020
Tweet - "Even today, the Speaker and her allies keep contradicting themselves. They say their case is already "overwhelming," "beyond any reasonable doubt." But they also keep asking the Senate to re-do their homework and add to the investigation that House Democrats rushed to close."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020
Impeachment
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 - "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 - "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
Impeachment
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. 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."
