Feinstein says shes a maybe on acquitting Trump as his defense team ends impeachment argumentsLos Angeles Times
Just after President Trumps defense lawyers ended arguments in their Senate trial Tuesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein suggested she could vote to acquit him, despite serious concerns about his character.
Nine months left to go, the people should judge. We are a republic, we are based on the will of the people the people should judge, Feinstein said Tuesday, after the presidents team finished a three-day presentation in his defense. That was my view and it still is my view.
Still, she indicated that arguments in the trial about Trumps character and fitness for office had left her undecided. What changed my opinion as this went on, she said, is a realization that impeachment isnt about one offense. Its really about the character and ability and physical and mental fitness of the individual to serve the people, not themselves.
Asked whether she would ultimately vote to acquit, she demurred, saying, Were not finished.
After those remarks were published, Feinstein issued a statement saying she had been misunderstood.
...
I wonder what is really going on.
