McConnell reveals he will vote to acquit Trump
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has told GOP colleagues in a letter that he will vote to acquit Donald Trump in the former president’s impeachment trial, according to sources familiar with the communication.
McConnell’s announcement ends a long period of silence over whether he would consider convicting Trump for incitement of insurrection and could pave the way for many other Republicans to follow in acquittal.
There was never any doubt in my mind.
Here’s the thing: Impeachment is NOT a criminal process, it is a political one. And like everything that else, ETTD. Impeachment as a remedy is dead and we might as well cut it out of whatever is left of the Constitution. The Imperial Presidency is here to stay.
Thanks a lot Mitch.
But here’s the OTHER thing: Lord Damp Nut the person is in a heap o’ trouble with the law, and for now at least, that still exists.
Trump is no longer president.
He encited a riot.
Arrest his ass.

Aren’t all of the insurrectionists liable for the death of Officer Sicknick?

He may look like a turtle, but he’s really more of a shell-less mollusk, you know a sea-slug.

I read that his reasoning was the impeachment was unconstitutional.
I am not a lawyer, let alone a constitutional lawyer, but isn’t this upcoming vote (is that the correct term? Using it) meant to decide whether LDN is apparently guilty, regardless of whether the trial itself is unconstitutional? I mean, that was a separate question and already dealt with. So wouldn’t this mean the Russian turtle should be removed from deliberations because he has publicly stated he will refuse to vote on the issue under consideration and will, instead, vote on a different issue.
It isn’t a regular trial. In a regular trial this juror would be removed because he has made this statement.
Hey, look, I found a thumbnail definition from Wikipedia:
