That is my memory. Publius says they DID hold a trial. That is not as I remember it.
Vacant Lott did allow a trial but he demanded the limited use of evidence and testimony it was worthless.
He was always a Swamp critter. Anyone remember the “shared” leadership the eunuch came up with?
I have no doubt Hillary had a thick file on him and let him know who was in control.
There was a trial in the Senate ... they didn’t have any witnesses testify, though, except for David [FORGET LAST NAME = Schiffers?] who was the lead investigator for the house impeachment managers.
