The impeachment of President Donald J. Trump may end right after it opens without the normal staples of a “trial” – witnesses, documents and compliance with subpoenas.
That would be bad for Colorado, bad for the country and bad for our constitutional system of government. With one vote, Sen. Cory Gardner could avoid that outcome.
Unless Gardner believes he has already heard enough information to find Trump guilty of both articles of impeachment the House charged — abuse of power and obstruction, he should join with Democrats and a handful of Republicans voting to hear from critical witnesses and demanding the White House turn over documents subpoenaed long ago. Four Republicans will be needed to proceed.
