Wall Street Journal: He may run again, but he won’t win another national election.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-non-vindication-11613342554
While short of the 67 votes needed to convict, most Republicans didn’t defend Mr. Trump’s words or actions on Jan. 6 or his attempts to overturn the election. As we’ve written before, Mr. Trump’s behavior was inexcusable and will mar his legacy for all time. That was the essence of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s post-trial remarks. The GOP leader voted against conviction but explicitly because he said the Constitution reserves the impeachment power only for Presidents while in office. Scholars disagree on this point, and there are good arguments on both sides. Mr. McConnell leaned on the writing of the 19th-century Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story. But he also noted that impeaching a private citizen had no “limiting principle,” and could set a dangerous precedent. .. .. .. Mr. McConnell was lacerating in his criticism of Mr. Trump’s words and actions, which he blamed for deceiving and motivating supporters who had assembled on Jan. 6 at the President’s urging and became a mob. “Former President Trump’s actions that preceded the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty,” Mr. McConnell said. “There’s no question—none—that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.” He added that the rioters had been “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth–because he was angry he’d lost an election.” All of this was compounded by Mr. Trump’s failure to act with dispatch to call off the rioters once he heard what was happening. |

Mitch said what I have been saying all along. If they think they have a criminal case, bring it in federal court and let Trump face justice, good or bad, not a political witch hunt. Since then I am hearing people say you don't need a crime to impeach. If so, why does article II say Section 4. The president, vice president and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. Then the quibble words really start to flow. |
