Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.), who won a stunning special election victory in 2017 and faces a difficult reelection campaign next year, said Sunday that he remains undecided on whether President Trump should be removed from office.
Jones a former prosecutor and moderate Democrat representing a deeply conservative state that overwhelming backed Trumps presidential campaign in 2016 said he is keeping his mind open ahead of the pending Senate trial, following the Houses vote to impeach the president last week.
Quite frankly, I didnt sit in front of the TV set the entire time the last two or three months. Ive been trying to read this. Im trying to see if the dots get connected, Jones said in an interview on ABCs This Week. If that is the case, then I think its a serious matter. I think its an impeachable matter.
But, Jones added, If those dots arent connected and there are other explanations that I think are consistent with innocence, I will go that way, too. I have got to make sure that what I really want to see, though, is to fill in the gaps. .?.?. I would like to see a full and complete picture.

That being said, this makes just not sending it to the senate at all good for folks like him, so we dont bgh have a kavanaugh type situation.

Every Senator should state they have an open mind.
