It should come as no surprise that 45's
legal team lied in their "defense" of him.
It's also no surprise that only 7 republican Senators had the intestinal fortitude to vote for the facts, and for not their party.
I hope this is the death knell for the gop.
It's the very least they deserve.
RIP Justice in the USA, wantonly murdered 13/02/2021
No one should have reasonably expected "justice". That was never going to happen.
The majority of republicans are completely lacking in anything resembling integrity.
McConnell is the perfect example of this.
That said, multiple criminal investigations are currently underway.
It's being said that the most likely criminal case(s) to be filed first will be coming out of Manhattan.
What I'm hoping for are some sharp, aggressive prosecutors, who don't care about 45's rabid followers.
I still want to see that orange shitstain spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
Along with his 3 eldest children, and son-in-law.
It's the unofficial start of Civil War II
Be careful what you wish for.
And the real horror to me was that mfer mcconnell at the end. That was the most disgusting thing EVER!
What is interesting is that they fall back on constitutionality. The Supreme Court, that they picked, said it was constitutional. But the Senate and House GOP members think the court (whose job it is to interpret the Constitution) got it wrong.
Of course they violated their own rules.
They were looking for ANY excuse to let themselves off the hook.
They knew he was guilty, and they knew they should vote to convict, but they are all so worried about keeping their jobs, they took the easy way out.
Craven cowards. All 43 of them.
Oh, and all the ones who voted against Impeachment in the House, too.
