Regardless of how the cowardly pro-Trump Insurrection senators vote: this presentation by House Managers prosecuting Don Trump is chilling, thorough, clear proof of his crimes against US and will serve as lasting testimony to disloyalty of him & Republican Party still backing him
Senator Romney, only Republican to vote to hold Don Trump accountable in his first impeachment, was basically alone heading towards armed mob when Officer Goodman turned him around: anyone really want to argue they would not have physically harmed him?
A vote to acquit Don Trump of inciting this violent insurrection is basically a vote that you are totally cool with ordering the assassination of @Mike_Pence & his family, in order to overthrow the republic. There is no ambiguity here: Trump was uniquely focused on Pence.
Three points to this prosecution (1) convict Don Trump (unlikely), but more than that (2) show the crimes of Don Trump (and his co-conspirators @tedcruz @HawleyMO @GOPLeader) against US to American people (3) create detailed historical record of Trump Insurrection.
Fuck, this is intense.
So, basically Congresspeople were evacuated down a hallway, off of house floor, a few police barricaded the hallway and held back the insurrectionists at gun point. The woman shot that day was attempting to breach the barricade, and shot as she was climbing through. Chilling.
Insurrectionists were livestreaming their attack on the Capitol because they knew that the President & Republican leadership backed their crimes against US. They thought they would be successful, and Don Trump would celebrate them, protecting them from penalty.
So, many close calls.
Republican senators must know now that a vote to acquit Don Trump, while likely ideal for their short-term political careers in Trump/Republican Party, will cement their names as cowardly traitors to US.
"We've Lost the Line! All MPD, Pull Back!"
Does Don Trump, @HawleyMO, @tedcruz, @GOPLeader still love the insurrectionists, as Trump said publicly after all of this happened in his name?
