Is it even legal.to have an impeachment trial after Trump has left office?
Even if perfectly legal, it is simply a symbolic action because Trump will.be gone.
This is a funny story, becsuse they say democrats don’t want impeachment to dominate ths early days of the Biden administration, yet they have pulled the trigger on events which will do just that.

Not according to Dershowitz and many others-
They must think it will help them in their unending effort to demonize Trump and his followers. It’s only of practical effect if they can get 67 senators (that is, including 17 Republicans) to vote to convict, after which a simple majority is all that is needed to ban Trump from holding any federal office in the future.
