If Trump had led the mob to the Capitol and busted out the first windows, then pulled the trap door to hang Pence, the Republican senators would stick with "we can't do anything. He's no longer president". That's why his attorneys had to respond to a federal appeals court judge that if Trump did shoot and kill someone on 5th Avenue, he could not be indicted as long as he was in office. They went even further saying he could not even be investigated. Any other response would have signified that the DOJ memo on indicting a sitting president was not a blanket prohibition, but depended on the seriousness of the crime.
The judge could have asked if Trump machined gunned kids at the White House Easter Egg Roll, could he be arrested. They would have had to say he could not be arrested or indicted. Meaning the only way to keep him from running wild on Pennsylvania the next day would be to use the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Processes that would take weeks while he continued to kill people. It also shows that memo is bullshit and intended for frivolous claims running through a carefully selected prosecutor and judge, not serious crimes.
In this case, the GOP has decided they can avoid the whole can of evil worms by basically calling the "no standing" card, dismissing the whole thing. Regardless of how much proof of incitement or conspiracy the impeachment managers present.
I think Democrats will present a mountain of evidence. They just don't think the GOP senators will do anything about it. You can't make a crook do the right thing. If you have a jury half full of mobsters you are not going to get a conviction of their boss.
May the Gods of Lottery this one time smile upon us all... if we can't all have the exact same winning Powerball numbers, at least could D___d T___ps number come up this once?
See, Turtle boy doesn't get to say whether or not witnesses are called in the Senate this time... Here's hoping Chuck borrows Nancy's balls when it comes down to brass tacks.

AND I WAS ASKING WHY YOU WERE MAKING IT WORSE BY DOING THAT!Yelling sarcastically is still yelling, sarcasm is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.
You do it your way,cand,I'll do it my way.I thought it was a germane ploy, and I stand by that decision.
I can respect that.
I think you're right. It's like calling a clip a magazine or vice versa.

Democrats CAN produce lots of evidence, in fact, anyone who follows what happens can.
It's just that the GoP have shown an unwillingness to care about evidence, so why waste time?
It's okay. Have the trial. It will provide grift for a future mill. I hope his yahoo lawyers let him testify.

But it kinda is anyway. 😉
"Cop Killer" is another phrase we're looking for here, Beltway press.
Or Adead Boy.
Yes, Liz, it's all very sad.
Not literally, of course. Senate decorum, doncha know. But it's a fair cop, guv'nor!
