The Texas Republican senator John Cornyn warned on Saturday that Donald Trump’s second impeachment could lead to the prosecution of former Democratic presidents if Republicans retake Congress in two years’ time.
**SNIP**
After a brief moment of bipartisan sentiment in which members from both parties condemned the unprecedented attack on Congress as it met to formalize Biden’s victory, a number of Senate Republicans are opposing Trump’s trial, which could lead to a vote blocking him from future office.
“If it is a good idea to impeach and try former presidents, what about former Democratic presidents when Republicans get the majority in 2022?” Cornyn, a 19-year veteran of the Senate who last year tried to distance himself from Trump when it seemed his seat was at risk, tweeted at majority leader Chuck Schumer.
“Think about it and let’s do what is best for the country.”
**SNIP**
There are also concerns on both sides of the aisle that the trial could distract from Biden’s legislative agenda. Schumer, who became majority leader this week, tweeted on Friday that the Senate would confirm Biden’s cabinet, enact a new Covid-19 relief package and conduct Trump’s impeachment trial.
The trial is due to be held in the second week of February.

Obama should have been impeached many times, starting with Fast and Furious. But once again Republicans didn’t have the courage.
Exactly. His office got an ear full from me a few weeks ago, told them I'll vote demoschiff before voting for him again after he failed to stand up for President Trump with the theft of the election. I will NOT vote for him again.
Antifa Protests which democrats say is just fine:
Patriots peacefully walk into a Single capitol building, after beign invited in, and the left go mental accusign the right of terrorism when ANTIFA who hid themselves among the protestors broke a couple of windows
[[Sadly this is just Cornyn talking crap to try and sound tough.]]
Correction- this is cornyn engaging in a desperate grovelling maneuver to the republican base in hopes he doesn’t lose his job in 2022
in hopes he doesn’t lose his job in 2022
Cornyn was just re-elected...so, he’s not up until 2024.
crap-
oh well, make that 2024 then- he knows that he’s pissed off 10’s of millions of republicans who supported Trump
Lol. Everyone keeps wanting republicans to be primaries but the idiots keep picking senators up in 2026. Lol.
Impeach carter for giving the Panama canal to the Chinese.
Yep. Corny is stating the obvious. We want the good stuff, the fraud stuff you know about Corny.
Obozo could have dozens of articles of impeachment charged with all his unconstitutional actions taken.
You Republicans BETTER grow a pair, or you will be history.
Ok .. you said it, NOW DO IT!! Anybody in Texas wants to primary this moron...? There must be Conservatives there in Texas...
“Republicans” talk tough when they’re out of power.
Put them in charge, and they turn into jelly.
“Sadly this is just Cornyn talking crap to try and sound tough. He’s a RINO and hopefully he’ll be primaried next election.”
I think Texans will be looking for a quite a bit more than talking tough, given the edicts being handed down by The Junta. The REAL QUESTION is whether elected Texas Republicans have ANY CLUE as to what’s in store for them. So far, only Paxton (the Attorney General) really seems to be getting it.
Why does he try at this point?
Exactly. The 'republicans' do not own either legislative body. This is just blowing air.
Or lying baines johnson.
Now that's an idea!
Absolutely right!!!
So many Democrats, so little time...
