Beto O'Rourke: We Now Know Trump Is Guilty "Beyond The Shadow Of A Doubt"

[TexasTowelie]

In an interview Sunday morning with MSNBC's Joy Ann Reid, Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke

JOY ANN REID, MSNBC: So you have called on Donald Trump to resign. Is this specifically in your view over the national security threat presented by what the whistle-blower revealed vis-a-vis his call to the president of Ukraine?

BETO O'ROURKE: This is about the national interest, about making sure that a country that has never been more divided is able to come back together again and to heal. It's about knowing the facts now beyond a shadow of a doubt.

We have the reconstructed transcript or call notes from the call between President Trump and President Zelinsky of Ukraine from July. We have the whistle-blower's accounts. We have the understanding that there are many around the president in the White House who are deeply concerned, concerned enough to try to hide the transcripts of the call. But also concerned enough to share that information with the whistle-blower.

Thinking about the precedent of President Nixon. And in 1974, Republican senators and those closest to him making the case that impeachment was a certainty. It was likely that he would be convicted in the Senate. And for his best interests and the interests of the country, the right thing for him to do was to step down. In hindsight, that was the best decision for America.

Looking forward, the best thing that we can do is for Donald Trump to step down. I don't expect him to make that decision of his own accord. That's why I think as a country, we need to call on those who are closest to him, who still have some faith in this country and want to do the right thing for America to help him to make that decision.
