“ The fraud will come to light”
So what?
Does “the fraud coming to light” increase or decrease the chance of conviction?
Conviction by the Senate is the issue and the only issue for next week.
I am maintaining that there should not even be a trial, that it is unconstitutional. By filing their statement, one of the senators needs to call for a vote on whether there should be a trial or not. Roberts will not even show - it is not his place to preside over a trial of a citizen. And he knows it. Those senators have taken an oath to defend the constitution. If they vote yes every one of them violates their oath.
