It was really a no-brainer going into the entire fiasco of a ridiculously political impeachment effort. For all their scheming, machinations and insufferable disconnect from a moral nation, these DC officials know they do not represent America. Additionally, they know 75 million people voted to support President Trump… THAT LOOMS LARGE.
In the end the Senate voted to acquit President Donald Trump by a 57-43 vote that began just after 3:30pm ET after closing arguments. The Republicans who shamelessly voted to convict are the same cast of DeceptiCon characters we see in every vote: Richard Burr (NC), Bill Cassidy (LA), Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK), the ever insufferable Mitt Romney (UT), Ben Sasse (NE), and Pat Toomey (PA). [Toomey and Burr are not seeking reelection 2022.]
WASHINGTON DC – […] Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)said in a striking post-acquittal speech that Trump was “morally and practically responsible” for the Jan. 6 insurrection but he is “constitutionally not eligible for conviction” because he is no longer in office.
