Senate Republicans just ended their impeachment show trial. It will go down as one of the most craven events in American history.

The President abused his power and obstructed Congress. Democrats know it, Republicans know it, and Independents know it.

President Trump is guilty.
Trials have witnesses and evidence, and cover-ups do not.

Even Senate Republicans acknowledged that this was not a fair trial. It was rigged to produce the outcome demanded by President Trump.

The verdict of a show trial does not prove innocence or exonerate.
The limited evidence shown to the Senate was so damning even Republicans admitted President Trump abused his power.

They admitted that the House Managers proved their case.

And today, for the first time in history, the vote to remove a US President from office was bipartisan.
That vote did not meet the required threshold, but Senator Romney utterly destroyed claims by Trump, his legal team, and Republican leaders that impeachment was based purely on partisan hatred.

It was based on a mountain of evidence which President Trump could not disprove.
