62. The Senate can't acquit or exonerate him or otherwise wipe impeachment away

Mon Feb 3, 2020, 04:58 PM

Feb 2020

The Senate trial doesn't assess guilt or levy fines or punishment, it is a process to remove or retain someone for whom sufficient evidence of guilt already exists.

We need to hammer this home, the House already found sufficient proof of his guilt. The Senate simply failed to remove him over it on purely partisan grounds.
