I don't think this has anything to do with Trump but is more about trying to preserve the Republican party's integrity among its constituents. Trump played the single biggest role in fostering last Wednesday's events. He's been planting the seeds for months/years. He speculated before the election that an outcome in Biden's favor would be illegitimate, and his nonsensical claims just fueled the passions of inept radicals. Trump's a traitor to the U.S. and U.S. democracy. 1 2 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Good article. Hopefully McConnell is ready to rid the party of the smell of Trump https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/12/us/mitch-mcconnell-trump-impeachment.html Quote Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, has told associates that he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, believing that it will make it easier to purge him from the party, according to people familiar with his thinking. The House is voting on Wednesday to formally charge Mr. Trump with inciting violence against the country. At the same time, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the minority leader and one of Mr. Trump’s most steadfast allies in Congress, has asked other Republicans whether he should call on Mr. Trump to resign in the aftermath of the riot at the Capitol last week, according to three Republican officials briefed on the conversations. While Mr. McCarthy has said he is personally opposed to impeachment, he and other party leaders have decided not to formally lobby Republicans to vote “no,” and an aide to Mr. McCarthy said he was open to a measure censuring Mr. Trump for his conduct. In private, Mr. McCarthy reached out to a leading House Democrat to see if the chamber would be willing to pursue a censure vote, though Speaker Nancy Pelosi has ruled it out. 2 Link to comment

If it were me in charge, I wouldn’t pick someone who previously voted to invalidate an election (since that is then underlying issue that other politicians are upset about and they say cause the uproar which Trump is being impeached for inciting) and another who had an affair with and employed a Chinese Spy. There has to be 2 other people available without that stink on them. 1 1 Link to comment
