Let the Senate’s Show Trial Begin
Joe Biden wants the Senate to “multitask†and conduct an impeachment trial that will include revisiting the 2020 election? Good—let’s roll.

So much for unity.
During her first softball briefing, Jen Psaki, Joe Biden’s press secretary, assured America that the U.S. Senate can “multi-task†by conducting its routine business and proceeding with a trial against former President Donald Trump at the same time. “[Biden’s] gonna leave the mechanics, the timing, the specifics of how Congress moves forward on impeachment to them,†the ex-Obama staffer told a Fox News reporter Wednesday.
The House of Representatives hastily impeached Trump a second time on January 13, one week after the so-called insurrection at the Capitol. The former president was charged with “willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States†for allegedly provoking the mob with his speech prior to Congress’ formal certification of the 2020 election.
Ten Republican House members, including U.S. Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), voted for the resolution; Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), bitter after losing control of the Senate, suggested on the Senate floor last week that Trump did in fact fuel the mob.
To which I say—let the trial begin.
