Impeachment Manager Jaime Raskin: Second Trial Is "Not So Much About The Past As About The Future"
Posted By Tim Hains
On Date January 26, 2021 Error 404 (Not Found)!!1House Impeachment manager Rep. Jaime Raskin told MSNBC on Tuesday morning why Democrats are seeking to impeach President Trump a second time: to disqualify him from running for office again in four years.
"This was, as we intend to show, the worst presidential crime against the Republic in American history," he said. "The violence was terrifying and overwhelming. Five people died, a police officer hit over the head with a fire extinguisher, police officers beat up, grabbed, pushed, shoved, jostled."
"One thing that I want to point out is that impeachment is not so much nearly about the past as it is about the future," he revealed. "The framers of the Constitution put impeachment, conviction and disqualification from further federal office holding in the Constitution to protect the Republic, to preserve the Constitution."
