The impeachment managers from the Democrat House, along with co-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, seem convinced that a Senate “trial†will dispatch Donald Trump from the American scene.
Not so fast….
The first three days of the “trial†will highlight House managers arguing that former president Trump “incited violence†at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Which was preceded for weeks when “he [Trump] reiterated false claims that ‘we won this election, and we won it by a landslide’… false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American people or certified by State or Federal Officials… President Trump’s conduct on January 6, 2021, followed his prior efforts to subvert and obstruct the certification of the results of the 2020 Presidential election.†(Articles of Impeachment, HR 24, Jan 11, 2021)
The Dem case will be a rehash of what we have already seen from media accounts — incorrect, made-up, or incomplete accounts, accusations, and assorted condemnations -- accompanied by exhortations made by Democrat politicians aided and abetted by soft-headed and weak-kneed Republicans.
There are enough facts established by independent observers, and investigators including the FBI, that the claims that Trump’s Jan 6 speech to an energized but peaceful crowd at the Ellipse incited a riot are implausible, farfetched, and without evidentiary foundation. Athletic rhetoric perhaps, yet all within the bounds of commonplace discourse today -- largely institutionalized by Democrats’ own incendiary language, by the way. Trump inciting a riot?
Spare me.
