Former Republican Sen. Jeff Flake says Democrats were right to launch an inquiry into President Trump’s call with Ukraine’s president. “That was a pretty damning transcript. That was not anything you want your president to be doing,” he told hereandnow.
that if it were a secret vote, at least 30 Republican senators would vote to impeach Trump.
“I said, 'No. That's probably low balling. It could be 35.' Anybody who has sat through two years, as I have, of Republican luncheons realizes that there's not a lot of love for the president,” Flake says. “There's a lot of fear of what it means to go against the president, but most Republican senators would not like to be dealing with this for another year or another five years.
While he hopes the president isn’t impeached, Flake says Democrats were right to launch an inquiry into President Trump’s phone call with Ukraine’s president. “That was a pretty damning transcript. That was not anything you want your president to be doing,” he says. “So I think we need to wait for the investigation to conclude and wait for likely testimony from the whistleblower him or herself before drawing conclusions. But it seems the House is already moving ahead.”“Whether it's an inquiry or hearings or whatever they're doing, that's not a constitutional question. It's just a decision they make.
