Republican senators joined Biden years ago to get the corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor out and NEVER once mentioned Hunter Biden... it's almost like it's all bullshit (bc it is!)

There have been 19 impeachment trials in the Senate in our history. Every single one of them included witness testimony and evidence.
Except this one, because it was not a trial. It was a cover up.
Again, these are facts.

None before this trial incorporated VIDEO CLIPS of actual witness testimony.
Again, these are the facts.
The House Managers FAILED to make their case. It's just that simple, kiddo.

Video clips are not witnesses, child.
Witnesses can be questioned and cross-examined. Video clips cannot.
The results of the House's investigation and the evidence they collected was ironclad.
If there had been a trial, it would have resulted in a conviction. There wasn't one.

Any cross-examination would have been for the benefit of the accused, Trump. His lawyers argued that there was no need to hear testimony but were fine either way. It was the Senators, the jurors, who believed they heard enough to make a determination and voted accordingly, kiddo.

No child. It was 51 Senators who voted to cover up Trump's crimes and refuse to hold a legitimate trial. 12 times.

No, it was 51 Senators, who listened to House Managers blather on and on for hours on end about Trump supposed abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. In the end, their case was nothing close to CLEAR AND CONVINCING let alone beyond a shadow of doubt. Sorry, kiddo.

No one disputed their findings, in reality. Trump's legal team didn't even mount a defense of his cr8mes.
Indeed most GOP senators who have spoken on the matter agree that he did it, but voted to acquit anyway.
Because there was no trial, child.

Sorry, kiddo, again, Trump was not charged with any high crimes or misdemeanors. The House Managers' case was built on the assumption that Trump acted solely for personal gain. And they failed to prove it.

Yes, child. He was. Bribery is even specifically spelled out as a "high crime and misdemeanor" in the Constitution.
And his actions don't need to be solely for personal gain to be impeachable.
The House proved, beyond any doubt, that his personal political gain was a factor.

To suggest that ALL politicians don't act to some extent for personal political gain would be totally ignorant. The House also failed to prove that concerns over Hunter Biden's board position were unwarranted especially since they've NEVER BEEN LOOKED INTO.
