How Donald Trump's Second Impeachment Trial Will Be Different From His First
Newsweek ^ | 1/25/2021 | Alexandra Hutzler

Posted on 01/25/2021 3:55:30 PM PST by Onthebrink

Donald Trump made history in the days before his White House departure by becoming the only president to ever be impeached twice. Now, his upcoming trial in the Senate will be just as unprecedented.

While some of the constitutional practices about the trial—which will kick off the week of February 8—will remain the same, many aspects of the process will look different from his first impeachment.

It will be even more of a farce than the first one?

How can you remove someone from office who isn't in office?

Are they accidentally removing Biden from office?

He was not impeached a second time, Nasty Pelosi only asked if they wanted to do it and they said yes.

That does NOT qualify as a bonafide impeachment.

Sounds like somebody is reading a "West Wing" script again.

What a bunch of noobs.

Josh Hammer is there—a very smart conservative.

Cruz and Hawley should constantly object and offer evidence of ANTIFA infiltration and vote fraud evidence, only to be gaveled by a grumbling, senile, get-off-my-lawn Leahy. Will make great video for 2022.

They had secret witnesses and secret testimony last time. This time they want a secret vote too. Maybe even a sentence of double secret probation.

His third impeachment will be my favorite one- from an amateur historian perspective.

If Republicans manage to retake the House in 2022, they should immediately impeach Biden. Then they should impeach him again a second time. Follow that up with a third impeachment AND impeach the first affirmative-action VP for another “historical first.”

He wasn’t impeached twice before leaving office.

Don’t let these cretins get away with this lie. He’s a private individual who is being criminally charged by his government for something he clearly didn’t do.

Trump is charged with “insurrection”. They claim he was attempting to overthrow the government of which he was the leader. Ironic, no?

They are presenting the ‘articles’ now; and they keep referring to Trump as ‘The President of the United States’.

They don’t know what the hell they are doing. They’ve all gone absolutely bonkers, and if there are still any good people in that party, they need to grow a pair right now and prove it.

It seems pretty clear that the left is trying to provoke a reaction (either real or staffed by Antifa) with these in-your-face-moves.

The best course of action is to let them have their fun and not react. Everyone can see what’s going on. They’ve overplayed their hand with the voting public.

If they can bar him from office, then he may just become a new Soros, albeit a good one. Imagine him pouring money into Secretary of State races nationwide. And his own DA project. And of course, primarying RINOs and the like.

I read where they were readying a third impeachment if this one doesnt work. I dont know if it was a joke or true.

It’s not the third?

The Dems will be shaking in their boots more than they already are going into such a farce.
