There won’t be a trial.
Schumer doesn’t want one...in spite of his public pronouncements. Those pronouncements are all show.
Pelosi dropped a hot potato in his lap...in a fit of passion...and now he’s left holding the bag.
And looking for a way out.
And some stupid Republican is going to give him one with a Censure/14th Amendment bill.
Any “trial” will be postponed until the midterms.
I believe that if they try to censure him and use the 14th Amendment Trump’s attorney’s will file a violation of the Bill of Attainder Clause. They seem to be warning the Senate throughout that they will go that route. The Senate has no judicial authority in this case because Trump is no longer President, so any action would be a violation of the Bill of Attainder Clause. I do not think the Senate will want to risk being slapped down in Federal Court for acting outside the law. They may want to risk it, since they could win in court, but they will make Trump into a martyr and keep him front and center in the news everyday for the next couple of years.
