I know they’ll try, but, how can Trump be held liable by any new legislation by congress for Jan6, when he was already acquitted by congress through the impeachment process?

Exactly.

The ONLY legal case against Trump for inciting insurrection was the single charge of his second impeachment.

AND HE WAS ACQUITTED!

No do-overs.

The impeachment process is the ONLY appropriate way to adjudicate such accusations against a SITTING PRESIDENT.

And double-jeopardy forbids trying him again for the same crime.

No J6er has been charged with insurrection. So, even the idea that an insurrection has occurred is debatable. The Leftwing Media keeps LYING by saying they were part of an insurrection.

But a court with a jury of our peers is the appropriate place to adjudicate such accusations for anyone who is not president. And such a conviction would require 12 jurors to unanimously agree.

An impeachment trial is not that way. It’s not majority rule. Nor does it require a unanimous jury. It requires 2/3 of the Senate to convict. If Trump had been convicted, it would have required a separate vote (simple majority) to bar him from office. That did not happen.

Communists (ie the Democrat leftists) don’t give a tinkers’ damn about the law or the rule of law. Never have. Never will.
