The lawyers are correct but are tilting at windmills. The Democrats in the House don’t care about any of that.
If the Senate actually holds a trial, with witnesses, they should be lambasted for this distraction. There are major issues that need to be dealt with by Congress and trying to remove a person from an office he does not hold is the height of absurdity.
Actually, preventing the Democrat House and Senate from “working,” is a very good thing.
They will hold a trial and any witnesses for Trump will be prevented from revealing evidence. This trial will be tightly controlled.
The only question is, how many Republicans will vote to convict?
