The election really was stolen. I don’t see how any sane person could doubt it.

I'm "sane" and I think the election was definitely not "stolen." For example, Sleepy Joe Basement Biden snoozed in his basement for 98% of his so-called "Presidential election campaign," as though he had literally no interest whatsoever in getting elected (while Trump intensely campaigned throughout the country to huge crowds, while simultaneously running the nation during a global pandemic). Also, a number of swing-state Democrat executive and judicial branches unconstitutionally changed election laws before the election.

The entire fake-news MSM relentlessly bashed President Trump while obsessively worshiping Sleepy Joe. And the Big Tech/social media companies censored President Trump. Swing-state Democrat big-city political machines kicked out election-count observers and then magically "found" huge treasure troves of Biden-votes in the middle of the night. Fox News's Chris Wallace intensely debated against President Trump in the first Trump-Wallace Presidential election debate. Etc., etc.

So I don't see why you're claiming the Democrat Party Cabal "stole" the election.

If you read the articles of impeachment it makes numerous claims to his “false” statements on election fraud. The impeachment articles interwine the cause and effect of the false statements leading to the so-called “insurerection”.

If he were to prove the claims of election fraud are true then the articles of impeachment are dead. It is one way to go.

> Leahy is illegally going to preside over the trial, what makes people think that he’ll even allow a defense based on voter fraud to be brought forward? <

That is a very important point! Had Chief Justice Roberts presided, things would have gone somewhat fairly. But Leahy will be openly partisan. No doubt about it.

Trump isn’t guilty of anything.

If he is “guilty” of something, please state it.

“If he were to prove the claims of election fraud are true then the articles of impeachment are dead.”

The problem is every Federal and State court has found otherwise.

The Dems used election fraud to steal the election, the old fashioned way.

Read the Navarro Report for the details.

Not being a jerk here, but can you copy/paste a link or two here of a case that actually went to trial or allowed witnesses to be presented?

“Washington Post incites violence on GOP”. Two can play that game.

“Now that Democrats control the Senate...”

If Leahy presides, does he have a vote? If so, the Senate is divided 50%-50%. If not, the Republicans have the majority.

If you wait long enough, the Dems, with Senate Republican help, will change the rules so that they have the majority.

I have a stupid question.
Why should he even show up to the “trial”.
Who is going to make him show up to this farce?

First and foremost, how exactly did [President Trump] incite the crowd to attack the capital building.

Well, the Democrat Party Cabal obviously stole the 2020 Presidential election. Now the Democrat Party Cabal blames President Trump for "high Crimes and Misdemeanors," insurrection, sedition, that he "threatened the integrity of the democratic system," and therefore "remains a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution" ... "Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States."

It's a Classic Example of the Democrat Party Cabal's #1 most heavily-used tactic: Democrats perpetrate bad things, then blame Republicans for what Democrats themselves perpetrated. (Rinse, repeat.)

No. 1 if I were TRUMP I wouldn’t participate in this ILLEGAL CLOWN CAR CIRCUS SHOW! If he does he needs to tell the truth! THAT will kill the eGOP cause it will show they were involved with the dirty rotten thieving DEMs and deep state in fraud and non preemptive action to allow the theft of the election!

eGOP shot themselves in the foot - backstabbing ass-wipes!

...clearly he must really 100% believe the steal really happened if he is going to use that as his defense.

Well, him and at least 80 million or so well-armed Americans. In fact, I would say that the only people, at this point, who don't accept at least the strong possibility that the election was stolen are communists and imbeciles. And I'm not so sure about the communists.
