Jason Crow did us all a service in pointing out another side of President* Trump's malfeasance.
WASHINGTON—The big hunk of anger-making trivia from Wednesday’s session is going to be the utter contempt that the Republican majority had for the rules of the trial regarding attendance. Regularly, and against the rules as they were explained to us all, Republican lawmakers disappeared from the Senate chamber in substantial numbers and for substantial stretches of time. (Bathroom breaks were allowed, and if these were all bathroom breaks, some of them were, ah, epic.) Marsha Blackburn did a hit with Laura Ingraham on Fox News when she was supposed to be working as a juror.
Mr. Chief Justice, I do see a lot of members moving and taking a break. Would you like to take a break at this time? I have another 15 minutes.
Oh, I think we can continue.
At which point, Mitch McConnell jumped in.
What I was going to suggest that, at 6:30, we take a 30 minute break for dinner.
This was adopted without objection.
It was interesting to watch Crow pull rank. A former Army Ranger who fought in Iraq, where he was awarded a Bronze Star, and in Afghanistan, Crow’s brief among the managers is to present as best he could the military consequences of the president*’s holding back of the military aid to Ukraine. This Crow did, through some excellent storytelling.
"Where were you on July 25th," Crow began, speaking of the day of the president*’s now infamous phone call to the Ukrainian president. "It was a Thursday, and the members of the Senate were in this chamber."
"On July 25 across the Atlantic are 68,000 troops stationed throughout Europe were doing what they do every day. Training and preparing to support our allies and defend against Russia. The professionalism and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform is a source of great strength, but America is also strong and America is also secure because we have friends.
"On July 25, 2019, one of those friends was a man named Alexander Markis. In a story told by the Los Angeles Times, Alexander was a soldier in the Ukrainian army defending his country and Europe against Russian backed forces on Ukraine's eastern front. He was in a trench . He was 38 years old. Alexander would later died defending his country during a mortar attack on his fighting position. Giving his life just like over 13,000 of his fellow Ukrainians on the front lines of the fight for liberty in Europe.
"That same Los Angeles Times article painted a picture of what the Ukrainians were going through during this time. Quote, tens of thousands of Ukrainians like Markis volunteered to fight the Russian backed separatists in the east. Many of them were sent to the frontline wearing sneakers and without flak jackets and helmets . Let alone rifles and ammunition. Ukrainians across the country organized in an unprecedented united civil movement not seen since world war ii to raise money to supply their ragtag military with everything from soldiers boots to bullets. And while our friends were at war with Russia, wearing sneakers , some without helmets , something else was happening. On July 25 , president trump made a phone call. He spoke with Ukrainian President Zelensky and asked for a favor. And on that same day , just hours after his call , his administration was quietly placing an illegal hold on critical military aid to support our friends."
For the first time, the consequences of the president*’s selfish shakedown of the Ukrainian government had some blood and bone to them. It was not merely that the president* tried to blackmail an embattled ally into helping him ratfck his way to another term. That, god knows, was bad enough. But he also sold out ill-equipped patriots like Alexander Markis and 13,000 of his countrymen. Jason Crow did this impeachment trial a great good service. He took it out of the realm of bureaucrats and politicians and brought it into the lives of soldiers, like himself. Alexander Makris was just another person who got used and discarded by this reckless president* of ours, who never even knew his name.
