Wow. I've actually been federally prosecuted, and if I remember right, I was innocent until they PROVED my guilt. It will be interesting to see what evidence they have, if any.

- evgen 7y agoInteresting. Do you imagine that there will be a federal prosecutor in the chamber of the Senate for the trial? Do you think that the defendant has the same rights and presumption of innocence as a defendant in a federal criminal trial? Do you not understand that an impeachment is a _political_ act and not a judicial one? If convicted Trump would face no jail time, he would lose no liberties, nor would he in any jeopardy. The purpose of the impeachment process is to provide a mechanism for removing a president from office, not putting them in jail. The threat of federal prosecution and jail time is what he will face after he is out of office, but not from an impeachment process.
