1) THREE QUESTIONS. Would you be happy if Donald Trump were no longer president? Does the evidence presented in the Articles of Impeachment, as reported by the House of Judiciary Committee on December 18th and approved by the full House the next day, provide sufficient grounds for the Senate to convict and remove Donald Trump from office?
