Will it happen? Even CNN has said there was no incitement.

[Gene Eric]

Mitch wants time to make sure Trump doesn’t start the Patriot Party.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

.... why? He’s not even President anymore. Are these people insane or just such huge liars they expect us to eat it up?

[marcusmaximus]

McConnell and Cornyn want the Amnesty bill passed first.

[TheDandyMan]

Can a private citizen be tried by the senate???

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Political activity by non-Democrats is a crime!

[Cboldt]

Feb 15 ... says report on Bannon War Room about 5 minutes ago.

[Freeper]

Impeachment is POLITICAL Action. It has no authority in the Criminal System. Anyone who poses else is blustering!

[kaehurowing]

It’s unconstitutional.

“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”

Article I, Section 9, Clause 3, U.S. Constitution.

Congress lost the power to impeach once Trump left office.

[Cboldt]

-- Can a private citizen be tried by the senate?? --

Totally up to the Senate. They have done so in the past.

[moovova]

What’s Q have to say about it?

“Trust the plan!”

[JonPreston]

Do it Mitch. I want to see your party 🔥 burn to the ground.

[foundedonpurpose]

“Are these people insane”? Yes!

“such huge liars they expect us to eat it up?” Yes!

[JoSixChip]

mcconnell wants to get all biden’s appointments through at lightning speed. Remember mcconnell dragged his feet on Trump appointments to the degree that some never got a vote. mcconnell also never put the senate in recess so Trump could make recess appointments, never once. I believe that is the first time in history that POTUS did not get at least one opportunity to make recess appointments, especially with his own party in power.

[ptsal]

Mitch will run out of money.

[FlyingEagle]

All lies. Don’t believe a single word from anyone in government or media.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

A better question is, ‘Is it even Constitutional?’

Oh, never mind! With SCOTUS Chief Just Us ‘Go with the flow, make no waves’ Roberts, what need is there for ‘Constitutionality’?

[FreeReign]

Can a private citizen be tried by the senate???

No. Mitch is trying to unconstitutionally purge a private citizen from running for office again.

[pierrem15]

Bill of attainder at this point. Trump no longer holds office, so they have no jurisdiction. And the penalty of not being able to hold office again applies only to appointees, not elected officials.

It's astounding that there are so many DC miscreants whose necks yearn for the noose.

“I want to see your party 🔥 burn to the ground.”

That kinda, already happened.
