Party before country

As many of us are watching the impeachment hearings, we can see there is a need for change. The Republicans made it very apparent they would not allow a fair trial.

We see more evidence of corruption, and obstruction on a daily basis by the Republican Party, such as the bombshell news of John Bolton's admission that President Trump did hold back foreign aid for the purpose of Ukraine getting dirt on Joe Biden. Also, President Trump saying he doesn't know who Lev Parnas is, when on April 30, 2018, Parnas was at a dinner with President Trump at the Trump hotel, and an authentic recording shows them talking about getting rid of Marie Yovanovitch.

This administration is a circus, and has made a shambles of our democracy. They have violated their oaths to follow the Constitution, and be impartial and fair.

As more evidence of guilt came out daily, they still would not call witnesses, which would surely convict the president.

As Chris Matthews said, President Trump could have all his Republican senators in a room, and blatantly say, "Yes, I did withhold foreign aid to Ukraine, for the purpose of getting dirt on Joe Biden," and they would still say he is not guilty.

We cannot trust these people, and since they have vowed to stand by President Trump, no matter what, we have to vote them out. Shame on you all for putting party before country.
