LINK Letters From An American 01/11/2021
The House impeachment managers have given Republican senators multiple ways to justify a vote for conviction to their constituents. They have shown how Trump began to incite violence even before the election, in plain sight, and how that led to an assault on the Capitol that came close to costing the lives of our elected officials, including Vice President Mike Pence—a Republican—and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the two people next in line for the presidency if Trump were to be removed from office.
The riot threatened the representatives and senators—including them!—their staffers, and many of their family members who were at the Capitol that day. And yet, even as lawmakers begged Trump to call the rioters off, he did the opposite. He attacked Pence in a tweet even as the vice president was being rushed to safety from the mob.

The true failure and high crime and misdemeanor was not protecting a mandate that is in the Constitution, ie. certifying the electoral votes, not protecting the citizens -the duly elected ones and those assisting- that were there to uphold their oath to the Constitution and finally the building they were in.
trump had one damn job that day and he failed, people died, people were injured and some will have permanent damage.
and just think if a democrat was the president and did this, JUST think about that.
cruz, lee and graham certainly are responsible for the bad name many have for lawyers.
Geez I love Heather's writing.

Senators who are supposed to be impartial jurors are meeting with be defense team to discuss strategy. How is that legal? Jury tampering is a felony. The rule of law is a joke.

Unfortunately impeachment is more a political process than a legal one.
