Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), who last week voted to acquit President Donald Trump on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress charges, admitted to reporters on Wednesday that shed seen no indications that the president had been chastened by his impeachment.
Per New York Times reporter Nicholas Fandos, Murkowski was asked if shed seen any evidence that Trump had learned anything since being impeached over a scheme to shake down the Ukrainian government to get it to announce investigations into his political rivals.
There havent been very strong indicators this week that he has, Murkowski admitted.
According to CNNs Manu Raju, Murkowski also dodged when asked if she thought it was appropriate for Trump to push the Department of Justice to reduce the sentencing recommendation for longtime ally Roger Stone, who was convicted last year on charges of perjury, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice.
I dont think the president should be determining what the sentences are, she said, before adding, But hes not.

But that's all right; you Republicans are real big on the Bible, and the book of Jeremiah is definitely in the Bible.

(34,661 posts)she tries so hard to play dumb to reality. Try this Lisa,your State has the largest number of U S Government Employees per capita of all states,and your so called Party Leader just screwed each and everyone of them with his mandated wage freeze at 1%. Very fimiliar with the costs involved with living in Alaska. That 1% might off set the price increase of one months groceries.
