Watching this impeachment debate makes my head spin. Trying to claim that he's leaving office so we therefore don't need to hold him accountable is like saying that if a person has cancer but murders someone, we don't imprison them for the crime. Never mind the fact that republicans didn't have the guts to stand up to this president over four long years and have followed him down the rabbit hole of a "stolen election" for which there was zero evidence. This is such an outrage.
Nixon was impeached with bipartisan support even after he had already resigned because Congress wanted the history books to be clear.
No Nixon was not impeached. Get your facts straight.
@anonymous You are technically correct.
I am equally outraged but I think you need a better analogy.
Why? The point is clear: expediency doesn't absolve someone of responsibility for a crime.
I want him impeached and jailed but I think it would have been better if Merrick Garland and DOJ had done it, better for the country, better for Biden and it would have been 100% successfu.
Why would it have been better for a Biden DOJ to take the action after the imminent threat was gone? Even if, as it now seems, McConnell will refuse to cut short vacation to require a vote pre-inauguratio, the reason to impeach is because he led an insurrection and is still in power. What I think is the wrong move is for the Dems to be so vocal today about traitors in their ranks. That it pushing Rs toward minimizing what Trump did to save themselves.
