Politics, go figger...
Go figure nothing. That is pure BS. Gee, I was going to delay a vote to stone you to death but seeing as how everyone has voted to decide today, well, let me toss in this boulder and konk you on the head.
Please spare me this nonsense.
Make no mistake, the Republicans wanted him out of office, every last one of them. Just exactly as the final vote showed.
I note from your post that you seem unable to understand subtle insinuation. Let me get you the Cliff Notes on this:

Well OF COURSE they did. And it was a done deal before they even had the hearing, everybody in the room including Trafficant knew that. I have every confidence that many of the Republicans were more interested in letting a Democrat squirm on the hook in public than in being altruistic towards Trafficant.
The Democraps just wanted him dead, buried and forgotten before the elections, because he was such an embarrassment to them. Maybe you didn't see both votes, or maybe you just didn't catch the subtle nuance in the Democrats' haste to get him shuffled off to the Gulag and out of sight.
Personally, I always find great amusement in watching the Democrats eat their own children like this. I just wish they had shown Clinton the same sort of treatment.
