Some responses:Sen. Ted Cruz was spotted by the pool during the break popping into the LBJ Room — where Trump’s lawyers have been using as their workspace. He was also there last night — along with Graham and Lee — talking defense team strategy

Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz — once more violating their oath to do impartial justice— just went into a meeting with the Trump impeachment defense team ahead of the next phase of the trial.

Lindsey Graham just walked into the defense counsel’s room again.

So unethical.
Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC meeting just off the floor with the defense team and former Trump campaign advisor Jason Miller. Graham tells me the defense did plenty on the constitutionality argument. He seemed pleased with the defense case.

ÂWhat will the consequences be for Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee, and any other Republican U.S. Senator who has the duty of serving as a juror in Trump’s impeachment trial but instead, openly violates Senate rules and conspires with Trump’s legal defense lawyers?
