Dotard incites terrorists on 1/6
Dems move to impeach him
Turtle says he thinks it’s a good thing and will bring a vote, and may himself vote to convict. This would imply b4 the inauguration
Dotard puts out a video with a lame but sufficient back down
Next day turtle is mum
Following day turtle says he isn’t going to call the senate back and says he will have to hear the evidence b4 deciding whether to convict

Turtle’s first statement put dotard in the exact place he wanted him. Next day, comes turtle’s weaker statement, doesn’t completely withdraw the threat but rather keeps him in check.

Turtle wants him quiet for the remaining time so as not to further damage republican senators. Bottom line, turtle is protecting himself, he wants to be back in power come 2022 and needs every gop senator there.

To me, very predictable
