The impeachment boils down to this.

I am unsure why the House drafted the articles of impeachment narrowly as to only include Trump's efforts to incite mob violence on the date it occurred, 1/6/21. Perhaps it was felt only inciting an imminent effort would suffice. But if Trump skates on this, it may be via the rather lame argument that while there is no doubt Trump's words and actions led to the insurrection, it wasn't his words of 1/6 alone that did so.
 
The quote used by the Dems to show incitement is ,quite frankly, weak.
HE used unremarkable rhetoric which politicians use all the time. And the full context of the quote shows that he did call for peaceful protests.
In an impeachment trial, one side wants a hanging and the other side is looking for some excuse not to.
They may have it. I was almost certain they'd vote remove him a week ago. Now I'm not sure. It probably boild down to McConnel

Really? How many US politicians constantly and repeatedly told them that the government had stolen their vote, that there was a deep state in play to take their country from them, and that on the day Congress was conducting the final electoral vote tally, the people had to stop the steal?
 
Do you believe in a circumstantial conviction? How are mob bosses convicted. What about the RICO?

Debate what? Trump called on them to be peaceful. Evidence is accumulating that the violence was planned well in advance so any claim Trump “encited” the crowd is DOA.

you're completeley missing the point. in a trial of the mob boss we have an impartial jury.
Not at all what we have here. One side is looking for a way out. They may have it.

your opinion is frankly,worthless. you're hyper-partisan.What matters if the opinion of 17 people and whether the evidence is overwhelming to THEM. That's the point of this post.

They can’t answer your questions. Mostly they don’t wanna. So what they do is pretend that no history existed prior to that day. And then on that day, you have throw out alllllll the words that make their Trump tummies hurt. And then...THEN...you still have him inciting an insurrection.

Yipes.

He specifically told them to be there on Jan 6. There is no path for victory on Jan 6th other than insurrection.

Your personal attack isn’t even good enough to serve as a deflection. If you can’t participate in the convo, feel free to not reply.

Yeah there's that . But if a bunch of people burnt down a Target and said they were answering a call from Kamala Harris to fight for equal justice, would that make her responsible.

She was talking about PROTESTS, not riots.

Absolutely. The Article is weak sauce, and if the Republicans aren't eager enough to scrape him off the party's shoe, it will fail..

But is that whole propaganda effort laid out in the Article of Impeachment? I didn't see it there.

He told them to be there on jan 6th because THAT’S WHEN THE VOTE WAS HAPPENING. He also told them to be peaceful.

The irony is that you’re side leans far more to dictatorship and fascism than Republicans.
