The scheme by President Trump was so brazen, so clear, supported by documents.

We agree that impeachment is a solemn, serious undertaking.

President Trump withheld military aid... to pressure a foreign government to do him that favor.

Again, so much for due process and fairness.

The Constitution and his oath of office... require the President to put the country first.

When the President got caught... he took extraordinary and unprecedented steps to conceal evidence from Congress.

So much for due process.

No one is above the law, not even the President.

The White House said they wanted open hearings, not closed, and then they didn't want those either. Then they said they wanted to participate in proceedings, and now they say they don't. All they really want is to hide the president's…

We know that in the words of Dr. Hill, the President was having people do a domestic political errand for him, that errand being chasing dirt on Joe Biden, using the power of his office and taxpayer resources to try to coerce Ukraine into…

The difference between then and now is not the difference between Nixon and Trump. It's the difference between that Congress and this one.

That is beyond anything Nixon did.
