If I were in the Senate, I would listen to the testimony, I would listen to the evidence, if you`re a senator, you have a responsibility to be a juror. I think that`s very important.

What we already know does constitute the gravest violation of his oath of office by any president of the history of the country. And this is not something we can look past or pretend didn`t happen or try to move on. We`ve got to make sure this never happens again.
