Prospects of convicting Trump erode as GOP grows vocal against Senate impeachment proceedings https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/22/politics/senate-republicans-trump-impeachment-case/index.html After Democratic leaders announced they would kick off the process to begin the impeachment trial on Monday, Republicans grew sharply critical about the proceedings -- and made clear that they saw virtually no chance that at least 17 Republicans would join with 50 Democrats to convict Trump and also bar him from ever running from office again. In interviews with more than a dozen GOP senators, the consensus was clear: Most Republicans are likely to acquit Trump, and only a handful are truly at risk of flipping to convict the former President -- unless more evidence emerges or the political dynamics within their party dramatically change. Yet Republicans are also signaling that as more time has passed since the riot, some of the emotions of the day have cooled and they're ready to move on.
Who is this "person"? For **** sake look at his nose and his hands. That son of a b**** wants to eat children.
This was the reason they wanted to hurry it. The best thing for the prospect of Trump being convicted is if he did something now to get back in the spotlight. If I was Pelosi or Schumer I might try to talk Twitter into unbanning him and letting him rant on Twitter to just remind GOP Senators why he was impeached in the first place.
The information out yesterday from Rosen adds to the case, it outlines intent We've got 2 weeks to tie Trump to the delay of the National Guard.
I think my closing argument is going to be "words have consequences, The President's words are of the greatest consequence. His cavalier words with reckless disregard for their power caused this riot. A power entrusted to him by the people of The United States...... (dramatic pause) and he betrayed us with insurrection. Threatening what what we the people hold most sacred.... our Democracy" ///not Clarence Darrow
