Yes, prosecutors preparing a case for trial generally assume guilt. Is this confusing for you?
So you are saying that the whole house considered him guilty?
Funny the vote on the articles did not show that.
True. Republicans voted as a block, just like they are expected to do in the senate. Whether he abused his power doesn't matter to the Trump party. All that counts from that side of the isle is that they have the power to shield Trump from being removed from office by impeachment. They probably won't be able to prevent the rest of the country from hearing evidence of his abuse of power. Trump's supporters are unwavering, but there just aren't enough of them to match the tsunami that he will face in the coming election, and the more his misbehavior is made known, the higher those waves will be. The Senate trial isn't about removing him from office at this point. It's about making sure the country is fully aware of his behavior before the election in November.
No you actually have most of that wrong but then again that's nothing new. Democrats mostly voted as a block in the impeachment. They could not even get one bipartisan vote. In fact they could not get even their whole party to vote together. One of their own even left the party.
It was never about what he did. It has always been about the fact he had the temerity to win an election the democrats were sure that they had cheated enough to have sown up.
If it had been about the way that he acted in office there would never have been congress people yelling for his impeachment before he had really done anything. They would have never stated that they needed to impeach him before he could get reelected.
Funny that you really think that those that watch or listen to all this are that blind. They have seen the we have him now moments. They have watched the Steele dossier come to nothing. They have watched Mueller come and go with him still in the White House. They have watched the Stormy Daniels saga end with her owing Trump. What most are seeing is that the Dems are out to get him anyway possible. They are seeing that he has gotten things done. There is money in their pockets, food on the table. The Dems have been so busy with get Trump that no one can point to anything else they have done for them.
What most also see is that the Dems are attempting not to actually remove Trump but are trying to make their bad candidates look better and more palatable.
