Correct me if I’m wrong but shouldn’t these hearings have Trump or his people responding to the accusations they are making? If Republicans had spines and win in November they should investigate why so much time was wasted looking into Jan 6 and nothing about the funding of the summer of love. Why not investigate the funding of political violence.
I voted for Trump twice but I feel if he runs again he will rehash the 2020 election and media will go into hyperdrive about Jan 6. I figured the results wouldn’t be overturned so I don’t know why he wasted his time with the “release the kraken” or stop the steal movement.
Senate hearings are political tribunals. The standards of each “hearing” is set by the chair. In this case it’s Cheney and whatever democrat stooge they threw up. This hearing was a sham from the day the committee was assembled because of the rules they put in place. Donald trump is not allowed to present a defense because of the rules of the committee. It’s a sham “trial” that will do what it was intended to do, set congressional record that orange man bad.
True. But anyone with any sense could see that it was a sham trial and the hyperventilating over this is absurd. Attack on democracy!!!! I said from the beginning to charge those that broke the law but you don’t get to church pearls after we watched months of destruction. And who mourns for Ashli?
My mistake
This isn't a trial. If it were, he'd be allowed to make a case.
They don't actually have authority to have a trial for Donald Trump, as he is not an office holder. When they impeached him the second time, this was pointed out. They'd never get around to a trial in time, and afterwards they'd have no authority.
