Former President Donald Trump's actions fit the definition of insurrection, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R- La., who crossed party lines by voting to convict Trump, told ABC News Chief George Stephanopoulos Sunday."
"I listened very carefully to all the arguments. But if you describe insurrection as I did, as an attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power, we can see the president for two months after the election, promoting that the election was stolen," Cassidy said.
"It was clear that he wished that lawmakers be intimidated. And even after he knew there was violence taking place, he continued to basically sanction the mob being there, and not until later that he actually asked him to leave all of that points to a motive, and a method. And that is wrong, he should be held accountable," he added.
"I had the privilege of having the facts before me, and being able to spend several days, deeply going into those facts as these facts become more and more out there, if you will, and folks have a chance to look for themselves, more folks will move to where I was," Cassidy said.
"People want to trust. They want to trust their leaders, they want people to be held accountable. Now, we are holding -- I'm attempting to hold President Trump accountable -- and that is the trust I have from the people that elected me, and I am very confident that as time passes, people will move to that position."
"I think there should be a complete investigation about what happened on Jan. 6. Why was there not more law enforcement, National Guard already mobilized, what was known who knew it, when they do it all that, because that builds the basis so this never happens again in the future," Cassidy said.

Cassidy’s check from the CCP must have cleared.
Craggy face not beez Senator mebbe next time round
Maybe Cassidy should be investigated to see how China owns him.
I agree 100%, get Nancy under oath and ask her about refusing Trumps offer for the National Guard and not approving additional capitol police.
Maybe the fact free Senator needs to kick off an investigation of vote fraud in six or so ‘Rat Urban Utopias.
Because it was you dumb excrement-head.
Trump really knows how to expose these Rats,doesn’t he.
“I had the privilege of having the facts before me,”
These “facts” had been carefully edited and altered, you lousy piece of crap.
“. But if you describe insurrection as I did, as an attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power, we can see the president for two months after the election, promoting that the election was stolen,” Cassidy said.”
This is the reason for the cancel culture, the Military is still in DC and the persecution of President Trump. They are scared the election fraud evidence will make it to general public.
We are winning the public opinion battle. The public is beginning to see the fraud. We must keep battling until 2022 election.
‘Once a democrat...’
how about public execution for all who organized
the attack by their email, computers, reg. mail????
Sign on to that, RINO monkey?
The election was stollen and he is a traitor. Saying so is not a crime; it is the God’s honest truth. None of the Democrats he is pandering too will vote for him and no one who voted for President Trump will vote for him. This clown has ended his political career.
Let’s investigate after he is found innocent.....lol
Digging a bigger hole for himself.
Cassidy asserted today he voted to impeach because “he has the facts”, implying his censuring constituents do not. He pronounced his preference, iirc, after the Ds opening day arguments, without benefit of a rebuttal, or any witnesses.
He’s a recent convert to R, and was just elected so he feels untouchable.
On November 4th, I had my doubts about claims of election fraud. Right now, I am 100% certain the election was stolen. If it had been honest, they wouldn’t be doing half of this crap.
Is insurrection really defined that way?
The usual Dem name games.
Sorry, the election was “stolen”.
