The MAGAts in Congress will never, ever vote to convict. Impeachment without conviction is useless, as we have seen twice before. And who knows? If Congress could magically secure a conviction, would that even mean removal from office? There was a time when being convicted of 37 felonies meant a one-way trip to the big house. Now, evidently, convicts can run around free as a bird, and no one can do anything about it.
