-- Schiff Dems saying it was NOT a trial at all now because of this. --

Our side needs to drive home the point that a trial can be abuse of power.

When the prosecutor hauls an accused in without a valid case, we don't make the accused go through a trial to add further injury.

Not only did the House abuse its power by impeaching Trump w/o due process, and on sham legal theory of "wrong," the senate added to the error by not dismissing the articles for that reason.

Well, now we know the senate will tie itself up for two weeks on ANY articles of impeachment. Bring in garbage, and make the same argument that it is up to the senate to conduct a trial. The public will fall for it.

The only way that Dems would declare this as a ‘FAIL TRIAL’ is if the Senate convicted Trump to remove him from office.

Any other outcome will lead to what DEms are saying now, Trump was a illegitimate POTUS and this is an illegitimate trial which means there was NO trial.

All this long drama and pain bought SEnate RINOs like Mitt NOTHING.
