“Rudy Giuliani said he is working on Trump’s defense for the impeachment trial and that he’s open to the president himself testifying”

Good call, a nutcase defending a nutcase!

so he’s charged… that kind of blows part of your conspiracy and your narrative apart, doesn’t it?

No.
He is one of your lot it seems though.

Great speech. Many people will have no idea what he is referring to as it’s not reported on the likes of swamp sanctioned CNN:

I’m afraid there is precedent:

But there is historical precedent for impeaching and trying to convict a former federal officeholder.

In 1876, as the U.S. House of Representatives was about to vote on articles of impeachment against Secretary of War William Belknap over corruption charges, Belknap walked over to the White House, submitted his resignation letter to President Ulysses S. Grant and burst into tears.

The House still went ahead and impeached Belknap, and the Senate tried him, with the impeachment managers arguing that departing office doesn’t excuse the alleged offense — otherwise, officeholders would simply resign to escape conviction or impeachment.

And the Senate voted in 1876, by a 37-29 margin, that Belknap was eligible to be impeached and tried even though he resigned from office.

It’s a wee pretendy show trial where Chief Justice Roberts declined to turn up to the sham proceedings so you have some Democrat acting as a judge. :grinning:

“Some Democrat” is Patrick Leahy, the most senior Senator and President pro tempore of the Senate. Show some respect.

Also, Roberts had court conflicts. Him not being able to preside had nothing to do with his feelings about the impeachment.

GOP machinery purging all the non-Trump loyalists as they predictably fail to impeach Trump, showing their usual blatant disregard for their jobs or the welfare of the nation.

Cindy McCain says Arizona GOP censure is ‘a badge of honor’ (nypost.com)

“John McCain’s widow was censured by Arizona state Republicans for failing to support President Trump — and she took it in stride.” (emphasis mine).

Vintage NY post.

:grinning: Whatever. Next time round we can have the impeachment of Biden with Mitch McConnell as the judge.

Impeached for what? Stop with your horseshit already, @Mick. It’s getting tiresome.
