Mike Lee is a surprising supporter of President Trump’s in this impeachment battle. He appears to have become his champion, quietly, behind the scenes, after opposition to him since 2016.
Politico says Lee is working hard in the background to make sure Trump is acquitted in the Senate. Lee is aware that these charges are well short of anything impeachable and he is a staunch constitutionalist.
According to Politico, both Linsday Graham and Mitch McConnell are publicly coming out in support of the President. Behind the scenes, however, Politico claims Sen. Mike Lee is quietly playing a key role in coordinating with the President and his legal team.
The senator from Utah is allegedly tracking wide-ranging opinions, even from Mitt Romney. Romney is an important vote, unfortunately.
In one interview, Lee expressed his confidence that the President could “steer right into the wind.”
Lee, the report says, has been involved on the President’s behalf since Speaker Nancy Pelosi — a wretched manipulator — announced the inquiry in the fall. He has advised Trump and his team against an outright dismissal and to go for full exoneration.
Lee is firmly in Trump’s corner against these impeachment charges and believes Trump did nothing wrong, according to Politico.
He sees the President as “squeaky clean” on this issue.

“What he did was not impeachable. It was not criminal,” Lee said. “And I don’t think what he did was even wrong.”
Lee, a Libertarian-leaning conservative, has been an adversary of Trump’s since 2016, from his nomination right to his emergency declaration on the border wall [for constitutional reasons]. Now he is, reportedly, one of the de facto leaders of the case to acquit.
We at the Sentinel would rather just see this end, but the President certainly deserves exoneration. The charges are absurdly inadequate to serve as a case for impeachment, even to the lay person.
NO TRUST for RINO’s and opportunists. I have a list of them. Washington is a seedy corrupt place.
It appears that the demoncraps/rinos would impeach ANYONE who brings their criminality to the fore…especially as the Main Sewer Stream Fake Media are wont to ‘lie along with them’…
Lee is a decent man. We all have a right to disagree with those in our own party on various issues for various reasons. Unlike the dem-Marxists it doesn’t mean we hate the person. or want to destroy them, or commit mayhem. Like Lee I’m a Constitutionalist, I’ve studied, and taught it, Solely based on what I know, rather than what I may feel under given circumstance I support it, because it is the supreme law of the land.
I wish in some cases our founders had been more specific but through their combined genius, it’s why they provided for the amendment process. Our founders believed we should hold a Constitutional Convention every 10 years. However, to date the only one we’ve had was when the original was signed and ratified Dec. 3, 1789. 230 years ago.Unfortunately the Dem-coms were headed to impeach our president at that time this Dec. They don’t care about our Constitution, nor have all of them actually read it in it’s entirety, to include the Articles. It’s not that different than the dullards who didn’t bother to read what was in Obamacare…. It’s beyond logic knowing how profanely ignorant these supposed representatives actually are. It is congress that should be held in contempt for denying due process and obstruction of justice, not the President.
Lee tried to block Trump winning the nomination of the first ballot though Trump had the votes. His big goal now is to get his massive immigration bill passed, so he is on his best behavior. Of course, Politico tries to characterize Lee, Mitch, Graham as Trump supporters, when they are not. Graham and Mitch have blocked defense of Trump in the senate. Politico is junk.
These libertarian ideologues like Lee simply do not understand heir philosophy is incompatible with one-man-one vote democracy because as soon as soon as politicians emerge convincing the voters they can vote themselves money it fails.
