Three of the House impeachment managers presiding over the impeachment trial in the Senate claimed that if the Senate votes to acquit President Trump, it would lead to the belief that the process was "rigged."
Democratic Reps. Zoe Lofgren of California, Sylvia Garcia of Texas, and Val Demings of Florida said that if the Senate votes against removing the president from office, it would not completely exonerate him, in part because he was still impeached by the House, according to NBC News.
"It seems to me, if there's not a full, fair trial with witnesses, he may get an acquittal, but he's not going to get an exoneration," Lofgren said in the interview, in response to a question about whether an acquittal would be touted by the administration as a victory. "It's going to be seen for what it is, just a rubber stamp to get him off the hook."

Really? Now who woulda thunk they would say that?
Grand level projection
Guess what Dems! We don’t give an F! We know you are traitors and that you have an upcoming date with justice!! This impeachment mess is obstruction of justice and a cover up for your own deep corruption!
Yeah, whatever.
This is so funny. I was thinking back about the Clinton Impeachment and how everyone was going insane (Democrats once again but opposite side) and I can’t remember who voted how or why or what they did. All this nonsense is going to be forgotten very quickly from people’s minds. Nobody is going to know it was rigged or not in a few weeks.
Who cares what they say?
I saw the title and thought “Babylon Bee.”
Now they’ll have to think up something else. Pretty hard to out parody reality these days.
So any time he democrats don’t get their way, the system is rigged?
Got it.
I thought the House Democrats already claimed it was rigged before it began?
Someone needs a Black's Law Dictionary
No reasonable prosecutor would seek an indictment in this case.
I am sure this is so COMPELLING everyone is on the edge of their seat. If the house vote was almost party line...except the democrats that voted against...it will go down in history as a partisan procedure.
Since the house managers failed to take the due process issues to the SCOTUS, they will always be perceived as failures by anyone who paid attention. And since Joe Biden and family took money from Ukraine, he will always be vulnerable on that issue. Even if the media will try to ignore it, he will always have that video of doing what the president was accused of.

The process was rigged from day one by Democrats in the house
“Rigged”. Democrats will say it anyway because this is about politics not about justice.
Republicans shouldn’t fall for it.
“seems to me, if there’s not a full, fair trial with witnesses, he may get an acquittal,”
To be honest, the headline doesn’t reflect her statement here.
Right, so anything besides a conviction will look rigged. Despite no evidence and no real crime. Today Schiff actually passed off excerpts of a NYT article as evidence.
As the Demiranians rigged the impeachment attempt.
He will never be exonerated in the minds of rabid dog democrats. Waste of time to try to convince them.
