Dershowitz has been saying that you can't impeach a private citizen. Of course the House can vote for impeachment before Jan. 20 but any Senate trial would be later. But Little Marco thinks that it is OK to have a trial of a former office holder.

Does Nancy really think they can get 67 votes for Trump being guilty? I could see Romney and several other RINOs voting "guilty" but not 17 Republican senators.

Impeachment in the House is the indictment. The Senate conducts the trial.

In the entire history of the United States, can anyone point to one single solitary instance where a person that was indicted, then DIED before their case went to trial, a trial was held and they were convicted? Beuller? Bueller?
