Donald Trump acquitted in second impeachment trial

Former President Trump survives his second impeachment trial, as senators decide not to convict him for inciting the insurrection at the Capitol.

CNN

Former President Trump was acquitted in an unprecedented second impeachment trial on the charge of inciting an insurrection for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, making him the first and only president to impeached and acquitted twice in history.

A majority of senators found Trump guilty on Saturday in a 57-43 vote, but the number fell short of the supermajority needed to convict the president. Had Trump been convicted, the Senate would have moved to bar the 45th president from holding federal office ever again.

The seven GOP senators who joined with all Democrats in finding Trump guilty were: Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.

That is because he didn't incite it.

The acquittal means that as of now Trump can leave the door open to another White House bid in 2024, though senators have hinted they may still try to bar him from office in a separate 14th Amendment measure.

Well at least the "Guilty" voters won the popular vote 😃

Rumors already flying they might impeach him a 3rd time !!! 😃

Barely. Mitch McConnell is on the Senate floor right now, ripping Trump apart. I've never seen this man so emotional.

At any rate, Trump's political clout is gone.

Now, the criminal indictments commence.

And yet, he voted to acquit.

Can we pencil in the third impeachment for January 2025?

Trump's political clout is from his supporters, not the house or senate.

Not any more. The plebs don't dictate #

ETA McConnell is advocating for criminal indictments. The RNC has turned it's back on Trump and the "patriots" that followed him.

Let's hope some criminal charges commence. To those who think you can just make up evidence in court like you can just make up news stories...you cant.

When you are terrified that a political opponent will get elected BY THE PEOPLE, you don't get to impeach him/her because you are scared...

So absolutely let's get the criminal investigations going! Lets see why some people thought it was OK to manufacture and falsify evidence! Lets see why they would pull out all stops and throw all logic and due process out the window! I would love to know why I'm glad you want to know too.

President Trump and America steamrolled twice by insane Democrats and acquitted both times due to Democrats building their case on outright lies and falsehoods.

Who can Trump and Trump Supporters sue for the abuse, defamation, and lost opportunity?

Quelle surprise.

Waste of time, money and effort.

Well I guess this is in order....

The Dems and Rinos were terrified of the witness part of the trial.
