The impeachment will go on and on and the longer it does the more its winding everyone up. In the middle of a pandemic when Biden has a golden opportunity to make headway into Covid recover of the economy he focusses on stupid stunts and pandering to the hard left.

No country can ever be united when the people are sidelined.
Indeed.

Re: Impeachment of Donald Trump

45 GOP Senators vote in favour of dismissing Trumps impeachment trial. That now includes Mitch McConnell and leave the Dems short of 12.

The Former Presidents Act.

CAN PRESIDENTS BE STRIPPED OF THESE BENEFITS?

Yes, but only if they are removed from office during their presidency, said Brian Kalt, a law professor at Michigan State University. Being impeached by the House of Representatives does not impact the benefits.

Many lawmakers and public figures called for Trump’s removal from office during the final days of his presidency, but he avoided this fate, so the benefits are safe.

There is one caveat: the law could always change. Some advocates say the Former Presidents Act is an unnecessary cost, arguing that modern-day presidents have lucrative opportunities and do not need the public’s help after stepping down.

In 2016, congressional Republicans pushed a bill that would have put limits on the budgets of former presidents. Obama, who was wrapping up a second term, vetoed it. He said he agreed that reform was needed, but the legislation as drafted would have placed “onerous and unreasonable burdens” on the offices of former presidents.

If Congress does reform the Former Presidents Act, it should do so in a way that does not single out Trump, Kalt said. Such a move could be seen as an unlawful “bill of attainder,” or a legislative act condemning a particular person, he said.

Re: Impeachment of Donald Trump

As I said, these republicans are weak as water.

Running back to their chef with the tail between the legs.

But hey, what can one expect from a party who puts this Marjorie Taylor Green in the

"Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress"

"Greene, who represents Georgia's 14th Congressional District, frequently posted far-right extremist and debunked conspiracy theories on her page, including the baseless QAnon conspiracy which casts former President Donald Trump in an imagined battle against a sinister cabal of Democrats and celebrities who abuse children."

"In January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who, in her eyes, were part of the "deep state" working against Trump."

""Now do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O ???," referring to Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Greene replied, "Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off."

"Last week Greene faced calls to resign from the survivors of the Parkland shooting survivors after Media Matters reported she agreed with comments calling the 2018 shooting a "false flag" operation."

"Greene suggested House speaker Pelosi will "suffer death or she'll be in prison" for her "treason."

Is that the best the republican party can present?

Re: Impeachment of Donald Trump

Trump 'parts with lawyers' before impeachment trial

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55876035

The departure of Butch Bowers and Deborah Barberi was reportedly a mutual decision.

Mr Trump's trial for incitement to insurrection starts on 8 February.

It is now unclear who will represent Mr Trump during the trial.

"I don’t believe the House should move forward with impeachment," Rubio said, "not because the president doesn’t bear some responsibility -- because I believe he does -- but because I think it will further inflame an already divided country at an already difficult moment."
Nigel Farage knows him better than most.

Re: Impeachment of Donald Trump

Australian media.

If Trump is convicted, the Senate will likely hold a vote to ban him from running for office in the future.

A vote to stop him from running again would not necessarily mean the end of Donald Trump.
Adding enough fuel to the fire, to keep him centre stage in public's attention.

Mitch McConnell, the top Senate Republican, said on Monday that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s embrace of conspiracy theories was a “cancer” on their party, as House Democrats moved to strip her of committee assignments.
Under the circumstances a wise decision.
