The jurors were victims of the crime, witnesses to the crime, co-conspirators of the perpetrator and now strategizing with the defense lawyers.

What a perfect, beautiful trial.

Yeah it says a lot sadly that Republicans are literally using "You know we won't vote to convict so what's the point!?" as a defense

As long as they have a cult of people that don't see that as immoral or unamerican, they don't have to try.

It sets a precedent, and if he was theoretically found guilty he wouldn't be able to run for office again, and would lose all presidential benefits.

why do you keep posting shit like this? If he gets convicted he loses all of his presidential benefits, saving the taxpayers millions per year, and he cant run for any office ever again

So 15 republicans no showed the session today. If 15 republicans refuse to vote then only 57 senators have to vote in favor of conviction to actually convict. Some people are theorizing this might be a ploy by the Republicans to get him convicted without actually having to vote for it.

i can see them doing this to both convict trump and also tell the qult that they were "silenced" because they weren't allowed to vote (because they chose to run away)

No, it's very much relevant because the unlikely conviction would allow the senate to vote to bar Trump from holding office again.

They're not,

the presentation is pretty legit, they just need Republicans to convict so the entire trial is toothless

Its not a curiosity. Its obviously intended and should be possible or else a President essentially has free reign to do/direct whatever the fuck they want in their last days in office and then just resign/time out before processes finish and pardon their co conspirators as well.

Its disingenuous as fuck to use that as a defense.

It is not irrelevant as there are other punishments that could be applied that do affect him going forward.

Not even just punishment. This sets precedent. Biden could literally kill us all at the end of his term and get away scott free cause we set precedent that it doesnt matter what the president did in the last month.

Nah, just lazy MFs not trying to hide the fact that they don't care. They know what they'll vote, no need to listen.

As Owner and CEO of my company I deliberately failed to provide my workers with proper safety gear while they worked in radioactive waste and lied to them that the material was inert and completely safe. I also illegally cut their medical benefits without the required minimum notice(or any at all) and paid the, under minimum wage.
and never paid them the overtime they worked. But hahahahaa I quit and divested before I was formally charged so I am immune fuckers.

Dont think that is how things work friendo.

It's also doubly disingenuous because Republicans controlled when the trial was set

they could have held it when Trump was in power, deliberately chose not too, then claim they can't hold it because he's not in power

The argument solely depends on you being wilfully stupid and ignorant of facts
