That impartial jury line is fading. Sen. Blunt: “you're not going to remove the political elements from this process. So you've got to be realistic.” "Technically I think we are the jury," said Sen. Cornyn. "But I wouldn't call it an impartial jury." — PolitiTweet.org

We talked to more than a dozen GOP senators today. None had reviewed the Monday depositions. Some said they’d get to it eventually. Meanwhile caucus had lunch with VP Pence, who trashed House impeachment as “partisan,” per attendees — PolitiTweet.org

"What difference does it make? This is all out in the public, with the [summary] the president put out two or three months ago. It doesn't make any difference what anybody else said," said Sen. Chuck Grassley — PolitiTweet.org

"There's been several folks that have testified that they think that it was not only inappropriate but that there was a quid pro quo," said Sen. Braun. "And I'm going to base it upon, not someone's opinion, but what I actually see. So far that is the transcript for me." — PolitiTweet.org

“Neither the president of Ukraine or the president of the United States says there’s a quid pro quo or that there was pressure applied. Does everybody else’s opinion matter if the supposed victim wasn’t victimized?” said Sen. Cramer. “Zelensky doesn’t feel like he was pressured.“ — PolitiTweet.org

Rand Paul spox @SergioGor: “The whistleblower statute protects the accuser from being fired but says nothing about skeptics revealing his name. There is absolutely no statute that prevents anyone, other than the inspector general from releasing the accuser’s name" — PolitiTweet.org

Of course we’re getting the odd Rand-Graham team up Graham said the public should “absolutely” know the whistleblower’s identity and argued the whistleblower statute is being “terribly abused,” per @JamesArkin — PolitiTweet.org
