Trump acquitted: Senate votes 57-43 at impeachment trial

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Saturday acquitted Donald Trump of inciting the horrific attack on the U.S. Capitol, concluding a historic impeachment trial that exposed the fragility of America’s democratic traditions and left a divided nation to come to terms with the violence sparked by his defeated presidency.
Barely a month since the deadly Jan. 6 riot that stunned the world, the Senate convened for a rare Saturday session to deliver its verdict, voting while armed National Guard troops continued to stand their posts outside the iconic building.
The quick trial, the nation’s first of a former president, showed how perilously close the invaders had come to destroying the nation’s deep tradition of a peaceful transfer of presidential power after Trump had refused to concede the election. Rallying outside the White House, he unleashed a mob of supporters to “fight like hell” for him at the Capitol just as Congress was certify Democrat Joe Biden’s victory. As hundreds stormed the building, some in tactical gear engaging in bloody combat with police, lawmakers fled for their lives. Five people died.
The verdict, on a vote of 57-43, is all but certain to influence not only the former president’s political future but that of the senators sworn to deliver impartial justice as jurors. Seven Republicans joined all Democrats to convict, but it was far from the two-third threshold required.

They have overplayed the event at the Capitol. The FBI playing along too. After all antifa and blm did last summer, this ordeal had to be thoroughly investigated, a non event. Truth be told democrats were as much behind this with the help of capitol police than the protesters themselves.
Bizarro world here today

So, now that impeachment part 2 has ended, I will once again ask the question:
What events have been transpiring in the background for the last two weeks of this news-cycle distraction?
This circus was not random.
It was part of a plan because joandho "winning" the election obviously was not enough for the lyin' cheaters, and now we have conclusive evidence of uniparty collusion to railroad an EX-POTUS.
I wouldn't put it past them to try, however I don't see these cretins pulling it off. No matter how much lipstick the media want to put on the pig, the faux-legitimacy of the Dems/left took a big hit today. They would be committing suicide if they did.
What is of interest to me is the fact that JoHo via the DC government have said the wall surrounding the Capitol and the White House will remain for the rest of the year.
Those who brought the impeachment and those that supported it should do the honorable thing for the shame they have brought upon themselves, their families and the country.

I think it’s a majority vote unlike the 67 vote threshold for impeachment
14th Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
