Right!
They should all jump in line and make partisan decisions that enable leftist domestic terror as "protest" but severely punish the people you dont like.
How gutless!!

Okay conspiracy nutter, take off your tin foil hat.

The true believers acting like the true believers are on the other side. "We believe everything without audits!" "We believe in guilt without evidence of it!" "We think people should be convicted on what we think they thought!"
And then, somehow, they think it's the people asking for proof that are blind.

After the 57-43 vote, the Republicans who defied Trump explained their decision.
Richard Burr, North Carolina
“The facts are clear,” Burr said in a after the vote. “The President promoted unfounded conspiracy theories to cast doubt on the integrity of a free and fair election because he did not like the results. As Congress met to certify the election results, the President directed his supporters to go to the Capitol to disrupt the lawful proceedings required by the Constitution. When the crowd became violent, the President used his office to first inflame the situation instead of immediately calling for an end to the assault.”
Burr originally voted that the trial was unconstitutional, but said in his statement that “the Senate is an institution based on precedent, and given that the majority of the Senate voted to proceed with this trial, the question of constitutionality is now established precedent."
He has already announced he will not be running for reelection in 2022.

Bill Cassidy, Louisiana
Cassidy said in a succinct statement Saturday that he had voted to convict Trump “because he is guilty.”
“Our Constitution and our country is more important than any one person,” he said.
Susan Collins, Maine
Earlier this week, Collins, who won reelection in November, said she was “perplexed” by the performance of Trump attorney Bruce Castor.
“He did not seem to make any arguments at all, which was an unusual approach to take,” she said.
After she voted to acquit Trump last year at his first impeachment trial, “the president has learned from this case. The president has been impeached. That's a pretty big lesson."
On Saturday, Collins voted to convict and offered a of the former president.
“Instead of preventing a dangerous situation, President Trump created one. And rather than defend the constitutional transfer of power, he incited an insurrection with the purpose of preventing that transfer of power from occurring," she said.

Lisa Murkowski, Alaska
Murkowski, who is up for reelection in 2022, after the vote Saturday that she’s not concerned with facing political consequences for her vote to convict.
“If I can’t say what I believe that our president should stand for, then why should I ask Alaskans to stand with me? This was consequential on many levels, but I cannot allow the significance of my vote to be devalued by whether or not I feel that this is helpful for my political ambitions,” she said.
On Friday, Murkowski and Collins a key question to Trump’s counsel: Exactly when did Trump learn of the breach at the Capitol, and what specific actions did he take to bring the rioting to an end? Trump’s counsel seemed to avoid the question, telling the senators there had been “no investigation into that.”
Asked about the answer to her question, Murkowski said it “wasn’t very responsive.”
The senator said Wednesday that the House impeachment managers “made a very strong case” and that the evidence presented was “pretty damning,” NBC .
Mitt Romney, Utah
Romney was the only Republican to vote to convict Trump following his first impeachment trial last year. After the vote on Saturday, the senator said in a that he believed Trump was guilty of inciting the insurrection and added that the former president “attempted to corrupt the election by pressuring the Secretary of State of Georgia to falsify the election results in his state.”
“President Trump also violated his oath of office by failing to protect the Capitol, the Vice President, and others in the Capitol. Each and every one of these conclusions compels me to support conviction,” his statement said.

Ben Sasse, Nebraska
Sasse, one of the few GOP senators who were not directly opposed to the impeachment trial, said in a statement Saturday that the former president had repeated lies about the election, such as the false claim that he won by a landslide, and used those lies to summon his supporters to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“Those lies had consequences,” the said, “endangering the life of the vice president and bringing us dangerously close to a bloody constitutional crisis.”
Sasse’s support of the former president waned long before the November election, and the Omaha World-Herald reported that he faces from Nebraska Republicans over his lack of support for Trump.
Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania
In a released after his vote, Toomey said, “President Trump summoned thousands to Washington, D.C. and inflamed their passion by repeating disproven allegations about widespread fraud. He urged the mob to march on the Capitol for the explicit purpose of preventing Congress and the Vice President from formally certifying the results of the presidential election. All of this to hold on to power despite having legitimately lost.”
“I was one of the 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump, in part because of the many accomplishments of his administration,” Toomey continued. “Unfortunately, his behavior after the election betrayed the confidence millions of us placed in him. His betrayal of the Constitution and his oath of office required conviction.”
Richard Burr, North Carolina
“The facts are clear,” Burr said in a after the vote. “The President promoted unfounded conspiracy theories to cast doubt on the integrity of a free and fair election because he did not like the results.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called Donald Trump "practically and morally responsible" for his supporters' deadly attack on the Capitol, only moments after voting to acquit the Republican former president on an impeachment charge of inciting the melee.
The top Senate Republican explained the unexpected turnabout at the end of a five-day impeachment trial, by declaring it unconstitutional to convict Trump of misconduct now that the former president has left office and become a private citizen.
The Senate earlier in the week found that the trial was constitutional in a 56-44 vote.
"There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day," said McConnell, who along with the rest of the Congress and former Vice President Mike Pence fled the mob that descended on the Capitol on Jan. 6.
"The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president," McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor.
The remarks came soon after the 100-seat chamber acquitted Trump on a single charge of inciting insurrection in a 57-43 vote that failed to reach the 67-vote threshold necessary for conviction. Seven Senate Republicans joined Democrats to vote for conviction.
The House of Representatives had impeached Trump on Jan. 13, a week before he left office.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denounced the senators who made Trump's acquittal possible as a "cowardly group of Republicans" and blamed McConnell for not allowing the House to deliver the impeachment charge to the Senate while Trump was still in the White House.
"Senator Mitch McConnell just went to the floor essentially to say that we made our case on the facts," said Representative Jamie Raskin, who had led the nine House Democrats who prosecuted Trump before the Senate.
McConnell was not the only Republican to castigate Trump for his behavior after voting for acquittal.
"The question I must answer is not whether President Trump said and did things that were reckless and encouraged the mob. I believe that happened," Senator Rob Portman in a statement.
"My decision was based on my reading of the Constitution," the Ohio Republican added. "I believe the Framers understood that convicting a former president and disqualifying him or her from running again pulls people further apart."
Senator Chuck Grassley, the Senate's most senior Republican, described Trump's language in a fiery speech to supporters just before the Capitol assault as "extreme, aggressive and irresponsible."
But he said the Senate had no jurisdiction to hold a trial, agreed with Trump's legal team that the former president deserved more "due process" and said the prosecution had not made their case.
In comments that echoed the prosecution's case, McConnell said Trump had orchestrated "an intensifying crescendo of conspiracy theories" and described the former president as "determined to either overturn the voters' decision or else torch our institutions on the way out."
McConnell suggested that Trump could still face criminal prosecution for his acts.
"President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office as an ordinary citizen," McConnell said. "He didn't get away with anything. Yet."

RINO Romneycare aint got a chance in hell. I predict he wont run again cause he'll get primaried. 2 of those cunts are retiring cause they know they'll lose. America is polarized and wants ACTUAL CONs or ACTUAL degenerate libs. Murkowski has a high liklihood of being primaried. Colins, who the fuck cares? She's RINO AF and sucks dem cawk 24/7. She comes from a libtard state that should really be voting dem anyway. I'm thinking its highly likely she wont run again. I actually hoped she'd have lost last election. Manchin is in the same boat as her, just on the other side of the political spectrum. They cancel each other out.

Yer right - there was 81 million.
..and the goal was to lay out for the public the dynamics leading up to the events of January 6, 2021
..and that the prosecution did brilliantly.
Even Repukes who did not vote to convict stated that they believe that Trump was guilty on the evidence.

And now the NYTs has retracted its story which claimed an officer got hit in the head with a fire extinguisher during the capital riot. It literally was a complete lie, a fable, a hoax, something which never happened.
Yet how many left tards believed that lie?
