I agree. It's easy to say you would vote to acquit if you're no longer in the Senate.
If LIEberman were still there, he'd give some mumbo-jumbo excuse about how he "personally" feels that Trump's actions do not merit removal, but the evidence that a crime was committed are "overwhelming" and HAS to put aside his PERSONAL feelings and follow the wishes of his constituents to remove Trump and is therefore voting Gulity and blah blah blah...
Basically he'd crap his pants after the RATS promised to purge him in the next primary if he doesn't do the party's bidding on this one.
They already purged him in the primary, he won in 2006 as an Indie, remember?
After backing McCain he was dead as rat, so if he had run again in 2012 he’d be depending on GOP pulling an Angus King in reverse and not strongly opposing him so he could win with most of the GOP votes.
He’d probably have no choice but to be a defacto RINO at this point if he were to have won again in 2018.
His future as a rat ended in 2008, if he had backed Obama he could have pulled a Lisa Murkowski and won the rat primary for another term despite losing and going outside the party to win again.
You know I’m not a fan but I really have no reason to doubt his word here
