LOL

 

trump incited the insurrectionists beginning in at least December.

 

19 December – Be there, will be wild

At 1.42am in the early hours of 19 December Trump tweeted the lie that it was “statistically impossible” for him to have lost the presidential election. He gave his first notice of a “big protest in DC” on 6 January. “Be there, will be wild!” he said.

19 December – The cavalry is coming

Within hours, fervent Trump supporters began to heed Trump’s rallying cry. Kylie Jane Kremer, founder of a Stop the Steal group banned by Facebook, picked up the notice about the march and ran with it. “The calvary (sic) is coming, Mr President!” she said.

Trump retweeted Kremer’s post, saying: “A great honor!”

1 January – You got to go to the streets and be violent

Louie Gohmert, a Republican Congress member from Texas, responded in inflammatory terms to news that his federal lawsuit seeking to force the vice president Mike Pence to block certification of Joe Biden’s victory had been dismissed.

“The bottom line is, the court is saying, ‘We’re not going to touch this. You have no remedy’,” he told the right-wing outlet Newsmax. “Basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you got to go to the streets and be as violent as Antifa.”

3 January – We will not go quietly into the night

Ted Cruz, the US senator from Texas who became a leading proponent of challenging the electoral college vote in Congress to overturn Trump’s defeat, addressed a rally in Georgia. “We will not go quietly into the night. We will defend liberty. And we are going to win.”

5 January – They will be primaried

Eric Trump, the president’s son, made a direct political threat to any Republican member of Congress who dared vote in favor of Biden’s electoral college victory at the following day’s ceremonial joint session. “I will personally work to defeat every single Republican Senator / Congressman who doesn’t stand up against this fraud – they will be primaried in their next election and they will lose.”

 

 

 

Took less than 30 seconds to google. Try at least a little bit, please.

He said, attempting to change the subject. I couldn't care less if they prosecute Waters.

 

But trump very clearly spent months fomenting insurrection, and he was rightly impeached for it, and he's on his way to be tried by the Senate.

 

His own words are enough to convict him. It's a slam dunk case. All that remains to be seen is if there are enough spines in the GOP to do the right thing.

That he/you has to reach back months to find replacement evidence shows you don't have a case.  Trump did not commit even a low crime or misdemeanor with his Jan 6th speech or any other.

Reason #10 you're impeachment is fake:  The Chief Justice is not going to show up.

 

Roberts is following constitutional protocol.  I'm sure he is just as discussed with Trump as the rest of the non-trump cult members.  Of course he's be able to preside over the SC when the baseless 'can't impeach a former president' lawsuits arrive at the court's door.

 

 

 

Quote

Chief Justice John Roberts will not be presiding like he did for Trump's first impeachment trial, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Instead, Sen. Patrick Leahy, the president pro tempore of the Senate, is expected to preside, the sources said. The Constitution says the chief justice presides when the person facing trial is the current president of the United States, but senators preside in other cases, one source said.
