The judiciary is about establishing truth⤵️
Trump’s presidency is about obscuring and hiding the truth.
I think this is Roberts' way of letting us know he won't preside over a sham trial.

In case what's really missing from your New Year's Eve is the chance to brush up on the Senate rules for Trump's impeachment trial 🤓🤓🤓 🤣

As long as we're realistic in our expectations.
Unrealistic: Expecting Roberts to engineer a conviction and removal of Trump.
Realistic: Make sure the public sees the truth.
Senators can overrule Roberts with a majority vote.
But Roberts speaks first.

Trump's presidency, like all fascist uprisings, is about obscuring the truth.
