McConnell slams trump after he votes not guilty

[JimH52]

Just to note, this is the exact same thing Byrd did concerning Clinton. One has to wonder what it would take to actually find someone guilty.

Bubba committed actual crimes and they didn't convict him. Trump never committed a crime. Maybe you'll have some luck going back to burr.

McConnell pointed out that it is not over for trump. He has survived the political challenge. Now, he will answer in court rooms.

McConnell seems to indicate there is more to come for trump, the insurrectionist...


But McConnell -- who, as Senate majority leader last month, rejected calls by Senate Democrats for a speedy trial during Trump's final days in office -- said Trump was constitutionally ineligible for conviction since the punishment is removal, and Trump was already out of office. McConnell claimed that a verdict before Joe Biden's inauguration had been impossible.

McConnell argued that "impeachment was never meant to be the final forum for American justice," but suggested Trump could be subject to criminal prosecution in the future.

"We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former Presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one," he said.

I thought the first time was a complete joke but the case was made this time IMO. I also believe doing it the first time made this one less likely to convict him.

I thought bringing up impeachment charges on bubba and orange man was stupid.

Clinton committed perjury. Where would you draw a line in allowing a president to break the law?

McConnell sharply criticized his former ally in a speech on the Senate floor shortly after Trump was cleared in a 57-43 vote, saying the rioters had been "fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth. Because he was angry he'd lost an election."​

​

"Former President Trump's actions that preceded the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty," added McConnell. "Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day."​

Mitch only has himself to blame for losing the Senate. Fuck him.

Right.

And Kevin McCarthy has himself to blame for losing the House.

And Trump has himself to blame for losing the ...

hahahahaha

As if Trump cultists have the emotional capacity to admit Trump lost.

 

[Synthaholic]

He had a lot of gall to do this, within minutes of 43 senators showing that they lack the character and patriotism to defend our republic.

If "defending our Republic" requires them to vote guilty on some BULLSHIT maybe this "Republic" is NOT worth saving.

TEXIT!!!!

Well, you are the America-hater.

Moscow Mitch wants the criminal justice system to do what he didn't have the stones to do. I say don't give him that gift yet. Prosecute Druggie Don, Ivanka, Jared, Lara, Eric first. They're all criminals too.

His defense team could not even admit that he lost. They are as devoid of morals as is the Liar in Chief.....or should I call him the former Liar in Chief.

You're stuck with him, Moscow Mitch. You had the opportunity to be rid of him and you let it get away. You are now sharing the responsibility for the destruction of your own party.

I would like to point out that the trial could have happened before trump left office but mcconnell still had control of the senate at the time and he adjured the senate. He could have not adjourned the senate and kept it open for the trial but he announced that he was adjourning the senate, thus no trial could happen.

mcconnell prevented that trial before trump left office.

What a load of garbage from mcconnell.

In reality, it's equiv to a mistrial. No Guilt nor Innosence was determined. And double jeapordy does not apply. While I despise Moscow Mitch, he was 100% dead on.

Mitch sold his soul and then tried to make up with history

You...the Dems handed him to them on a silver platter and they walked away. Now....Graham is traveling to Florida to get a direction for the GOPQ....the battle for the heart and soul of the GOP will become more intense in the months to come.

McConnell Affirms Trump's Sedition And Guilt AFTER Voting To Acquit

McConnell says Trump is guilty, but makes excuses about why he voted to acquit. Big talk now, Skippy.

crooksandliars.com

And yet this cynical bastard voted to acquit.

Do you folks admit that Trump incited that Insurrection?

You can be honest now. The trial is over

 

[Lesh]

"There's no question, none, that Pres. Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.
[...]

The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things."

Meanwhile House Manger claims that Trump's speech on Jan 6th had nothing to do about the riot, while Pelosi and Schumer refused to allow the Nat'l Guard to assist the DC Police.... especially when the Chief of police begged them.
