Rand Paul says they are CLOSE to having the votes to dismiss the impeachment charges…

Rand Paul is saying today that Republicans are close to having the votes needed to dismiss the impeachment charges against Trump:

WAPO – Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a leading ally of President Trump, said Wednesday that 45 Republicans are ready to dismiss the charges against the president and he would keep pushing to rally a majority of GOP senators to end the impeachment trial.

“There are 45, with about five to eight wanting to hear a little more,” Paul said in an interview with The Washington Post. “I still would like to dismiss it, but there aren’t the votes to do it just yet.”

With support from other Trump allies, Paul said he would continue to pressure his colleagues in the coming days to move on from the trial and listening to the House’s Democratic managers, including Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.).

“I will push it at some point,” Paul said. “The more Adam Schiff speaks, the more we become unified.”

Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate.

I love the line “The more Adam Schiff speaks, the more we become unified.” Ain’t that the truth.

They are only 6 votes away at this point. C’mon Adam Schiff, do your thing! Turn up the smarmy and push them over 50!

You can do it. We believe in you!
