Exposing the Republicans' excuses for not convicting Trump
Free speech only goes so far. Tweeting out thanks and praise to rioters is evidence, not speech. If the goal of these proceedings is to remove Trump's eligibility for office, the way to do so is conviction of seditious conspiracy. This bars Trump and those involved from holding federal office, which requires only one third of either chamber to block him. If there is already such evidence, it will come forward in coming days and it will be damning.
The question of motive should still come up. Was it racism? That Trump was using code in telling people to take their country back, he was referring to brown people. The rioters know what he meant.
Another motive is for Trump to avoid jail, thinking that presidential immunity is a thing. It is not. The only reason he has not been arrested is because he might try to self-pardon. This was not a good reason. He should have been behind bars or in a presidential correctional treatment facility years ago.
The third motive, one his supporters often refer to, is judges, which is short for overturning Roe and/or finding some way to grant legal recognition to the unborn. This is the impossible dream that Trump does not believe, but was willing to be the useful idiot for. Shame on those who support such nonsense. The blood of January 6th is on their hands too.
