This #insurrection was based on lies told by Trump, his lawyers, his allies, and yes, even some of your colleagues. 3/14

“All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by bold and radical left Democrats, which is what they are doing, and stolen by the fake news media. That is what they have done and what they are doing. We will never give up. We will never concede.
It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved….Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you…. We’re going to walk down to the Capitol...
and we’re going to cheer@on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong...
If only there was some solid evidence PROVING Trump incited the deadly violence at the Capitol on Jan 6th....
Oh wait, him and his surrogates and family members are ON VIDEO calling for his army of terrorists to lay siege to it

Not enough? Ok, how about satellite data showing the location of all of his rally attendants on January 6th. Watch the time and their location.

And while I’m glad Trump holds the distinct “honor” of being the only “President” in American history to lose the popular vote twice and be impeached by the House twice, he needs to actually be convicted. Because his “Presidency” was just a crime spree.

I don’t think this assumption is right, Seth. A second senate “acquittal” might not bar him from holding future office, but conviction in actual court, where he faces countless indictments from multiple state AG’s for his endless crimes would. You’ve documented those crimes.
The notion that GOP senators up for reelection in 2022 would vote once again to absolve a blatantly guilty man who cost them the senate, the house, the WH, and incited a seditious insurrection that directly put all their lives at risk seems questionable at best.
And even if they did, this does not grant him immunity from prosecution from his crimes committed at the state level throughout the past 4 years. A single conviction in any of those cases would preclude his ability to run in 2024.
Former President Trump incited a violent insurrection against our democracy. He charged up a violent mob to attack the Capitol to stop the Congress from fulfilling our Constitutional duty to count the electoral ballots that have duly elected the next President & Vice President 1/ 
The mob violently attacked law enforcement and smashed its way into the Capitol, calling for the hanging of the Vice President and hunting the Speaker and Members of Congress. 2/

Five Americans have died following this violent attack and more than 50 police officers were seriously injured, including 15 officers who were hospitalized – and without law enforcement’s heroism, the attack could have been even worse. 3/
