Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

The argument that impeachment requires a technical crime is simply made up. It’s certainly not grounded in reason or history, let alone in the Constitution. In fact the first federal criminal statute was enacted THREE YEARS AFTER the impeachment clause was adopted. — PolitiTweet.org

ALL of these holds were done under statutory authority, included consultation w Congress, & promoted key US natl interests. UNLIKE Pres Trump & Ukraine funds, NONE were to promote personal interests. NONE were concealed from Congress. NONE were found illegal by a govt watchdog — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier today, Pres. Trump boasted about his obstruction of Congress, taunting that "we have all the material. They don't have the material." The Senate is a coequal branch with a constitutional obligation to pursue the truth. It’s time we start acting like it. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

It's an INSULT that Trump has provided more to the public via FOIA than he's given to Congress, which has constitutional oversight powers. I wrote an Op-Ed on this point last week: https://t.co/rvmRfpxmdI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

The FOIA'd docs also reveal that MULTIPLE Republican lawmakers reached out to the Trump admin concerned about the Ukraine aid hold. Where are those concerns from Republicans now? — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Despite RAMPANT abuse of FOIA exemptions & redactions (literal cover ups), the docs show WH staff laying the groundwork for the unlawful aid hold, the DAY BEFORE and EVEN DURING Trump's infamous call with Pres. Zelensky. Don’t Americans deserve the full story? — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

While Senate Rs voted to blindfold the Senate to key docs & witnesses that Trump blocked the House from considering, thanks to #FOIA, more damning bits & pieces of the truth emerged late LAST NIGHT about Trump’s ILLEGAL Ukraine aid freeze. (LINK: https://t.co/lNnehQ6a2r) — PolitiTweet.org

Another word for it: A travesty. I applaud @WeAreOversight’s tenacity. But the Senate has a constitutional obligation to obtain the FULL docs. All of them. That's EXACTLY what Democrats tried to do yesterday, only to be blocked at every turn by the GOP. https://t.co/B0sxO3JMSW — PolitiTweet.org
