GOP Sen. Murkowski, who called for Trump's resignation, says House right to impeach
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said the House was right to impeach President Trump but wouldn't say how she will vote on the charge against him when the case is brought before the Senate.
Murkowski, one of several congressional Republicans who have called for the president to resign, said she would listen to the case brought before the Senate -- noting the stark differences to Trump's last impeachment.
"This second impeachment stands in stark contrast to what we faced last January—an impeachment that was partisan from the beginning and left no opportunity for a fair trial in the Senate," Murkowski said of the bipartisan condemnation Wednesday of the president's role in the violence at the U.S. Capitol. "Such unlawful actions cannot go without consequence and the House has responded swiftly, and I believe, appropriately, with impeachment."
Murkowski, a key swing vote in the Senate, voted to acquit Trump last year during his first impeachment after being eyed as one of the possible Republican defectors. Only one Republican, Sen. Mitt Romney, voted in favor of either of the two impeachment charges.

“This second impeachment stands in stark contrast to what we faced last January—an impeachment that was partisan from the beginning and left no opportunity for a fair trial in the Senate,"
A “fair trial in the Senate” probably should have had witnesses testify. Yah think?
I’m so tired of the Murkowski & Collins bullshit.
