It is certainly the excuse that Repubs cling to. He was POTUS when he crimed and still POTUS when he was impeached. There is no one else that can administer justice in that case and he cannot escape justice by resigning or running out his term. There is no mechanism to transfer jurisdiction to a civil court.

We already know that no degree of lawlessness is too lawless for aRepublicanDemocrat
They don't care what's legal because, well, TRUMP!!!!
He will be living rent free in the minds of many of those on the left for many years to come.

It’s sad that Repubs cannot bring themselves to do the right thing and hold Trump to account. They clearly worship him.
If Trump had done a Hannibal Lecter on Mike Pence, would they have used the same argument?
The largely partisan vote indicated that, nearly three weeks after the Capitol attack, much of the GOP anger over Trump’s actions immediately before and during the siege has faded. Notably, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) — who previously said Trump had “provoked” the Capitol mob — voted to back Paul and Trump, who has reached out to senators directly and through intermediaries to marshal support for his defense.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

Originally posted by EvoUK View PostYou know what helps create unity? Concession speeches. Election losers conceding. 147 of them recently voted to overturn a free and fair election in which their guy lost by 7 million votes.
If you are looking for the source of disunity these Republicans seem to skip right over Trump's failure to concede the election (propped up by Cruz and other slimy senior republicans), to Democrats reacting to an attack on the Legislative branch of government.

What the Democrats are doing is unconstitutional according to legal experts. It should be tossed out on that basis alone. No need to hear any evidence.
Or we could just abandon any pretense that the actual Constitution and the law matters.......>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

They're just doing what comes natural to them.

Declaring that dropping impeachment "would be harmful to unity" indicates that she thinks that the impeachment would benefit unity.
