This afternoon:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Dems said impeachment was URGENT. Now they don’t want to have a trial, because they have no evidence. In real world, if prosecution doesn’t proceed with case, it gets dismissed. So on Monday, I will introduce measure to dismiss this bogus impeachment for lack of prosecution

Some of the responses:

Does this mean you support have a real trial with witnesses? If so, tell McConnell. If not, you’re a hypocrite with this tweet.

lol bruh I went to law school with you – you know this is trash please stop

You are such a bootlicking hack. Happy New Year.

Hawley is such an elitist with no respect for his voters. Per @KagroX “The articles of impeachment were adopted on December 18th.vOn December 19th, the Senate went into recess, and @HawleyMO and his colleagues left Washington, and haven’t been back in session since.”

Congratulations! You’re a big fat liar because you know this isn’t true.

Lack of evidence?! That’s laughable. Why is the president refusing to allow witnesses and refusing to release any documents? Because as today’s document dump proves, Trump is guilty and everyone knew it.

The fact that you claim to be a Constitutional lawyer in your bio & you would put out this bullshit is absolutely pathetic. You have absolutely no clue what serving your Country & upholding your oath to the US Constitution really is.

Sad little man.

pretty brazen tweets given today’s revelations, sir. if you are so excited about it, come have a town hall. i live in the kansas city area. would love to hear your thoughts in person. i would call and ask for one, but no one answers the phone in DC.

Hawley is not really the Senator from Missouri. He represents the (unknown) political interests that own him and he will do what he is told even when it’s downright embarrassing like today.

The articles of impeachment were adopted on December 18th.

On December 19th, the Senate went into recess, and @HawleyMO and his colleagues left Washington, and haven’t been back in session since.

Or, and I’m just spitballing here – you could support a real trial with witnesses.

If you want a trial, go ahead and call witnesses. Call the Pentagon officials who were told to block Ukraine funding even after they questioned the legality of it.

Sir, this is Trump University Law School

Hey man, did you see the emails that were released today?

Probably NOT. It’s hard for them to keep up.

They’re pretty slow readers. And they skip the parts that make them feel icky.

It wouldn’t have been taken up in Senate until next week regardless. Stop the gaslighting!

Have you ever told the truth in your life?

Finally a republican willing to be Trump’s lackey and help him obstruct justice.

It looks like the KoolAid is strong in the Show Me state. So strong you don’t want to hear witnesses testify. It must be the “please DON’T show me because I put party over country” KoolAid.

Dude, the news drops are just killing you.
Plan on more and more coming out, because the Orange Chaos Mobster has a history of this kind of thing.

Disgusting. Everything stated in the whistleblower complaint has been confirmed by witness after witness. Hawley part of conspiracy to prevent further documents and testimony Trump is hiding.

Cracker Jack called. They want that law degree back.

Ah, elitist.

Lol there’s “no evidence” because your boy is obstructing us from getting it.

Hawley is an embarrassment to Missouri. Don’t expect honor, integrity, sense of duty, decency, honesty or putting country first. He is all about his own ambition.

If permitting witnesses would exonerate Trump, you’d vote to do so. Instead, you’re violating your oath and helping Trump rig his trial.

Spin it however you want, sycophant, but no one is going to trust you unless you allow a fair trial to happen.

Good Lord. You are a Senator?

And on and on.
