Ron Johnson in Trump impeachment

On Principles & Values: Impeachment charges are "pretty thin gruel"

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI): I don't think the Senate should be making the case that the House should have made in their presentation. My guess is they weren't able to make the case. The charges are pretty thin gruel. I don't see anything impeachable in that. So, it's not the job of the Senate to make the case that the House should have made in their impeachment clause, or in their articles of impeachment.

Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL): Senator Johnson just made the case of why we should have witnesses. If he really believes it's thin, it's thin because the president of the United States ordered his top people who were in the room who have firsthand knowledge not to testify. He ordered documents not to be turned over. The American people and the United States Senate deserve to have a full, fair, and complete trial. That means witnesses. It means documents. It means getting the information out now.
