The vote for impeachment is the indictment phase.
The Senate phase is the trial.
The process of impeachment is made up of both phases, indictment and trial.
What people are confusing is indictment with conviction.
One can be indicted but that indictment is nothing without conviction.
It would be as if one of your enemies screaming “you were arrested!” and you responded “I was acquitted, therefore the arrest was a false arrest of no consequence.”
Your enemies might continue “people have shown you are GUILTY!” to which you respond, “no, they didn’t show I was guilty.”
And unless your enemies are stopped, they will wail that you are guilty and the majority determined you were guilty.
And you and your supporters will continue to speak the truth that you are not guilty, rather you were preserved innocent.
No, that is not true. If that were the case then there would have never been an impeachment that occurred in this country. Impeachment is the process the House employs to secure an indictment.
A person can be arrested and indicted numerous times for various crimes, and avoid conviction in every case. That person still has an arrest record for the rest of their life.
To equate the two, we have had 3 Presidents charged with "crimes", but none have ever been convicted. They all are considered as impeached for the rest of their lives. Just like someone who has been arrested and indicted, but never convicted, have arrest records that stay with them for their entire lives.
You have the salient truly political points in regards to the process. The “human” side of the reality of the accusation and whether there is any merit to the accusations— made without a shred of evidence. Lack of evidence painfully known to the bug eyed paedo freak from WeHo who “managed” this disaster, from a completely inappropriate “committee” for the bringing of impeachment inquiry.
Because also they knew that fat boy the nebbish, roly poly nadless was not capable of much beside a banging gavel and a nasal nyawk squawk brooklynese admonishments. So this is what they got, and it is certainly woefully short of anything of substance, no matter what the media tries to make of it.
We need to send nice messages to Judge Louie Gohmert. And all of good conscience now proceed to Tarry and Harrass the opposition party, and all of their candidates. All of them. It starts NOW. Never let up.
