With 57 Senators voting 'Guilty', that's a long way from being 'innocent'.
Even McConnell made it clear that he believed Trump was guilty.
The fact that there were 43 Republican spineless weenies that refused to remove him from office does not mean he is innocent by a long shot.
They said they would have IF he was still president. But technically he wasn't. Biden was. How slick was that?
So Republicans, don't cry that we are charging him in court for these crimes. Trump would not be charged if Mitch would have convicted him. Then Trump couldn't run again and we wouldn't be charging a ******* former president.
This is so embarrassing to the USA. It's why Nancy didn't impeach Bush for lying us into Iraq.
“When she first got in and was named speaker, I met her. And I’m very impressed by her. I think she’s a very impressive person. I like her a lot. But I was surprised that she didn’t do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush. It was almost – it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would’ve been a wonderful thing,” Trump told Blitzer in the interview.
“Impeaching him?” Blitzer asked.
“Absolutely. For the war. For the war,” said Trump, referring to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. “Well, he lied. He got us into the war with lies, and I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant and they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense. And yet Bush got us into this horrible war with lies. By lying. By saying they had weapons of mass destruction. By saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true.”
Asked about the remarks
during a presidential debate eight years later, Trump said, “you do whatever you want – you call it whatever you want,” and reiterated his belief that the Bush administration lied.
The Bush administration has been widely criticized for the way it hyped the
intelligence about weapons of mass destruction to build the case for war in Iraq. Pelosi, whose first stint as House speaker began in January 2007, resisted repeated calls from her party to pursue impeachment articles against Bush for his handling of the war.
At a CNN town hall last month, the California Democrat briefly commented on her resistance to the effort at the time, saying, “I didn’t want it to be a way of life in our country.”
In 1998, Clinton became the
second president to be impeached over his affair with Monica Lewinsky, though he was
later acquitted in a Senate trial.
"I think Bill Clinton was a great president,’" Trump said in the interview that was conducted shortly after the 2008 presidential election on NY1's "Inside City Hall" program.
"You know, you look at the country then. The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell,’" Trump said.
