'Game over. Send Trump home,' Richard W. Painter tweeted as Ambassador Sondland testified on Wednesday.
Richard Painter, who served as the chief White House ethics lawyer in the administration of President George W. Bush, suggested on Wednesday that not only President Donald Trump, but also Vice President Mike Pence should be impeached and removed from office.
"Sondland -- in a last ditch effort to avoid going to the slammer for perjury - comes clean . Trump is going down," Painter tweeted as U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland testified before the House Intelligence Committee in the ongoing impeachment inquiry against Trump."Senate Republicans need to demand his resignation TODAY!"
In a follow-up tweet, he wrote:"Game over. Send Trump home. Swear in Pence. Continue the investigation." He then added in another post:"In a few weeks the only open question should be whether the evidence is sufficient for President Pence to be impeached by the House and removed by the Senate." In a few weeks the only open question should be whether the evidence is sufficient for President Pence to be impeached by the House and removed by the Senate.
