Americans know that I pushed for 20,000 troops to prevent violence on Jan 6, and that I went on television and told everyone to go home.' 'These folks don’t get it that when they come after me, people who love freedom rally around me. And he repeated another couple of lies that he has been telling for nearly two years, saying that. The final vote was a majority of 57 guilty to 43 not guilty, including seven Republicans, but short of the two-thirds threshold.įailing to make a coherent legal case for his innocence, Trump took a detour to rely on the devotion of his cult followers, as if that has any relevance under the law.

In the Senate Trump survived due to the two-thirds requirement for conviction. Contrary to his lies, the House voted to impeach Trump by a 232–197 vote, with all 222 Democrats voting to impeach, joined by ten Republicans. And no matter how much he tries, he can't shake the fact that the Congress of the United States has found that there is sufficient evidence to prosecute him for multiple crimes.Ĭonsequently, Trump fires up his imagination to create a false recollection of what has taken place since the insurrection that he incited. He wishes the charges were 'fake' so that he could go on pretending that there is no imminent legal peril in his near future. Poor Donald Trump is struggling desperately to absolve himself of his obvious guilt with a pathetically ignorant comment that totally avoids facts and rational analysis.

A congressional impeachment is not the same as a court trial and thus there was no 'Double Jeopardy.'.Trump survived conviction, but he cannot by any stretch of the imagination honestly say that he 'WON convincingly.'.The charges have never been 'submitted, prosecuted, and tried' before in any court.It was a Select Committee, not as Trump calls it in his infantile manner, the 'Unselect Committee.'.

The Committee was not 'highly partisan.' There were two conservative Republicans on the panel.The charges are not 'fake.' They are very real and histoically profound.There's a surprisingly large amount of bullshittery in that brief statement. 'The Fake charges made by the highly partisan Unselect Committee of January 6th have already been submitted, prosecuted, and tried in the form of Impeachment Hoax # 2. On his pitifully floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump said that. And Trump predictably lashed out at the Committee ( that he was too chicken to testify before) with all the determination of a bratty six year old denied a toy that he wanted. It's a historic and unprecedented action taken in response to the historic and unprecedented acts of a rogue president. The Committee is recommending that charges be brought against Trump for obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement, and incitement, rebellion or insurrection. And the first order of business was to issue criminal referrals to the Justice Department for Trump's well documented crimes. It was a long time coming, but the House Select Committee investigating Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection on January 6, 2021, has finally completed its work.
