15. I have no reason to expect these Republican Rogue Party members to convict him.

I just want to see our prosecution nail him for all eternity for everything he did and the lives he costs.

I think a fundamental question we need to raise is how the capitol invaders should be convicted and punished while he is allowed to go Scott free. How does this make any sense?

I've never understood why we can't just go arrest him. He's a private citizen now, one who planned and incited a riot in which lives were lost.

He will divide regardless, but moreover, there's a vastly more important benefit of conviction. better Feb 2021 #18

I would say it differently. Trump will not be convicted, but the GQP will convict themselves. lagomorph777 Feb 2021 #9
