Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
John, the Chief Justice did not decline. You voted to block my proposal. Why are you and Trump so afraid to allow an impartial judge to decide on requests for witnesses and documents? That’s how we conduct FAIR trials in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Under the Senate rules, we can direct the Chief Justice to make the initial determination on witnesses and documents. Furthermore, the Constitution gives us the “sole Power to try all Impeachments.” By opposing my amendment, Republicans have shown they don’t want a fair trial. https://t.co/qlWnIZ4xO1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
If we can't agree on anything else, we should be able to agree on this: Let’s have an impartial process by having the Chief Justice decide which witnesses and documents are relevant. I will offer this amendment tonight. But, no matter the result, the truth will come out. https://t.co/uzp01EUzwJ — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
By blocking the sworn testimony of key witnesses, GOP senators just told America they are more interested in covering up the truth than finding it. For the first time in our history, they blocked all witnesses in an impeachment trial. There is no vindication in a sham trial. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
I didn’t have a chance to ask the White House defense team, but they should elaborate on how “constitutional crimes” as discussed in the book—which the White House defense team included NINE TIMES in the President’s brief—differs from what they call “common” or “ordinary” crime. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
It's worth noting too that Charles Black and Philip Bobbitt cite Nixon’s use of impoundments to hold back congressionally-appropriated funds as one of “the most constitutionally consequential charges against him.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
They also call the idea that a president must commit a statutory crime to be impeached one of the seven fallacies—or common misconceptions—about impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Here’s what “Impeachment: A Handbook"—the book the President’s own lawyers called an “authority on impeachment”—says about Dershowitz’s argument: “the limitation of impeachable offenses to those offenses made generally criminal by statute is unwarranted—even absurd.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
The other day, Mr. Philbin kept referencing “Impeachment: A Handbook." So I did some digging. Turns out, in that same book, the authors call conspiring with foreign governments to assist a campaign a HIGH CRIME. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
I just joined @maddow to talk about the Q&A portion of the impeachment trial, what we can expect next, and why the entire Senate, both Republicans and Democrats, should trust Chief Justice Roberts to decide on witnesses, evidence, and claims of executive privilege. https://t.co/GM4kUS5Lc8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Our question to both sides: Are you opposed to having the Chief Justice make the initial determinations regarding the relevance of documents and witnesses to the impeachment charges, particularly as the Senate could disagree with the Chief Justice’s ruling by a majority vote? https://t.co/4nqjzBegEm — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Well said, @RepAdamSchiff. The House Managers agreed to have the Chief Justice rule on witness testimony and to respect his decisions. Why won’t the President’s lawyers? I hope my Republican colleagues will vote yes on my motion to make this impartial idea a reality. https://t.co/Osr5CqlmNZ — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
This is absolutely repugnant. Doing this would send a statement to any future whistleblower: If you use legal channels to expose abuses of power, you will be retaliated against. We live in a democracy, not an autocratic state. https://t.co/c27grVlD1D — PolitiTweet.org

On Friday, I plan to offer a motion that will require Chief Justice Roberts to: 1. Subpoena witnesses and documents if he determines they are relevant. 2. Rule on any claims of executive privilege in order to expedite the trial. https://t.co/z7rc3PYZzA — PolitiTweet.org

My first question to the President's defense team: What did National Security Advisor John Bolton mean when he referenced “whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up on this” and did he ever raise that issue in any meeting with President Trump? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Today will begin the Q&A portion of the impeachment trial. Senators will have the chance to ask questions to both the House managers and the President’s defense team. I have a few prepared, which will be written on this notecard and asked by the Chief Justice on my behalf. https://t.co/EX9I1zdBPh — PolitiTweet.org

The EPA’s response today ducks the main question we asked: do they plan to enforce the pollution reduction targets in the Chesapeake Bay Agreement? Failure to enforce puts the heath of the Bay at risk. Without stronger assurances, we must take them to court. https://t.co/UGaECN45zg — PolitiTweet.org

I believe all Americans deserve the truth, regardless of political party or what cable network shows they watch. Let me know which facts you disagree with from my interview on Fox, @realDonaldTrump. Don’t you want the whole truth and nothing but the truth? https://t.co/V7LRG17092 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
This one-sided proposal is a cynical maneuver calculated to be rejected by the Palestinians and then green-light illegal annexation. It undermines decades of bipartisan U.S. policy and international law. Far from the “deal of the century” this is the “disaster of the decade.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Timing is everything here. The Trump plan is not about advancing peace. It’s a deliberately timed ploy to interfere in the Israeli elections by distracting attention from Netanyahu’s formal indictment for bribery today and to divert from Trump’s impeachment proceedings. — PolitiTweet.org
