Impeachment is a political finding, not a legal finding. It’s Congress that decides what qualifies as high crimes and misdemeanors. What was Trump guilty of? You say not quite the legal definition of incitement. Well how about asking to find just enough votes in Georgia and threatening consequences for not doing so? Did Trump tweet that the protestors should leave? Eventually. Surely the call with McCarthy suggests not only a significant delay in doing so, but also his state of mind regarding the riot. As for whether he incited the riot to begin with — the most senior member of the Senate GOP disagrees with you: Trump incited the riots but should be acquitted for procedural reasons (you can’t impeach a former President).

> It’s Congress that decides what qualifies as high crimes and misdemeanors. I suggest you read your own silly comment again. No constitional lawyer will say that holding a rally is either of those charges. In fact, the DNC had a rally in 2018 that invaded the Capitol building. I don't see endless sputtering about that, do you? Oh, TDS. > Did Trump tweet that the protestors should leave? Eventually. The same day. Unlike Pelosi, who took months to condemn the downtown burnings ... because pandering to intersectionalist votes. Not a good look for one of the top politicians in the US government, is it? > Well how about asking to find just enough votes in Georgia and threatening consequences for not doing so? Voter fraud is subject to various laws (ie. consequences.) Can you name the owner of Dominion voting systems, used in 29 states? The State of Texas couldn't, so Dominion was banned. Here's a hint: the CCP paid $400 million for Dominion just before the election. The CCP filed a billion dollar lawsuit against Trump associates as part of "lawfare." Now what's your narrative about voting fraud? Here's a reality check for leftists: Trump is no doubt a narcissist, and you don't have to like him, but he was our leader, and one of the best in the last 100 years. The nearly 5 years of pointless impeachments was shameful - the more petty the DNC gets (and Pelosi is senile enough to admit the impeachments were partisan), the more welcoming the Republican party looks. Think about that.
