Biden on Trump acquittal: 'Substance of the charge is not in dispute' BY JORDAN WILLIAMS - 02/13/21 11:05 PM EST

President Biden on late Saturday night issued a statement on the acquittal of former President Trump, in which he said that he was thinking about those who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6, adding that though Republican senators largely did not vote against Trump, the “substance of the charge” was not in dispute.

Biden, in his Saturday night statement invoked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConell (R-Ky.) who did not vote to convict Trump, but issued a blistering rebuke of the president following the final vote.

“While the final vote did not lead to a conviction, the substance of the charge is not in dispute,” Biden wrote.

“Even those opposed to the conviction, like Senate Minority Leader McConnell, believe Donald Trump was guilty of a ‘disgraceful dereliction of duty’ and ‘practically and morally responsible for provoking’ the violence unleashed on the Capitol.”

Biden said he was thinking of those who protected the Capitol during the riots, as well as those who died and remain in danger following the incident.

He also said he was thinking of those who “demonstrated the courage to protect the integrity of our democracy” before an after the election.

The president ended his statement by drawing on his previous calls for unity to heal “the soul of the nation.”

Biden is badly mishandling this.

Dems in general are badly mishandling this.

Big, big mistake.

He didn’t “issue” anything. He doesn’t know what time it is.

What was it years ago where the liberals said something like “it is the seriousness of the charges” that was the main thing. Even though the charges themselves were made up and they knew it?

Favorite buzz words the press uses to describe his “activity.” None of these are actual actions. What is he doing?

All those EOs he signed, is that all he’s done so far?

Substance of the charge is not in dispute?

What?

Of course it was disputed.

Here’s what is not in dispute: that Biden is illegitimate and won by election fraud.

It literally is not disputed.

Saint Joe cannot issue any statements on unity, or anything else.

He wasn’t smart enough to plan the coup on 1/5/17, but he certainly knew about and participated in it.

He’s a criminal and should be in jail for many things, the least being the obstruction of justice.

Not. My. President. Ever.

Biden’s handlers can eat a pile of syphilitic rotting dog squeezins.

The “substance of the charge” is whether the Democrats rigged the election and are in cover-up mode.

We should now have a public trial similar to the impeachment effort to examine the anomalies which seemed to go in Biden’s favor 100% of the time.

Oh yes, it is in dispute! Biden and the democrats think they can make up their own story. The acquittal shows it was in dispute.

Honestly I couldn’t get past the first two words “President Biden”. The internet censor in my brain immediately deleted the rest of the post since there is no such thing as “President Biden”.

the substance of the charge is not in dispute

A jury that adjudicated the substance of the charge found him NOT GUILTY! DONE, OVER. Disputed and resolved as NOT GUILTY.

So when are they going to censure or impeach bernie sanders for causing that baseball field shooting? Or how about obama encouraging street hits on cops?
