Again, other than the symbolism, what's the point?
They went easy on Hitler after his attempt to flip the government and look what happened.
And Trump is no longer president in 7 days. Who's going easy on him?
I really don't see your point. Are you suggesting that he will take the presidency in the future?
And you went full Godwin. Never go full Godwin.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Incidentally, they didn't go easy on Hitler. They put him in jail.

You seem to be suggesting it? Do you believe he truly did nothing wrong?

This is what the process is, this is how you determine the legality of his actions. I think that's what needs to happen.
And you went full Godwin. Never go full Godwin.
I didn't. Somewhere between Congress hiding in bunkers, pipe bombs, a Capitol invasion and the National Guard being called to sleep at the Capitol until the inauguration, we're already in Godwin territory.
The best way to ensure that eventually we repeat the mistakes of the late 30s is tell ourselves it can never happen again, and laugh when any comparison is made.
Please love yourself.

What process? Please tell us about what evidence was presented, what direct and cross examination occurred. This is an indictment, not a conviction. as Jon points out. If you're going to go into legality, rather than politics, well, that's a much higher bar.

Constitutionally it can't spill over outside of this term.
Good luck finding that in the constitution. The current plan is to take up the trial in about three months.
And then there would be a constitutional issue. No one knows if you can do that to an ex-President. That could take another 100 days. And there you have it folks Trump dominating a Biden Presidemcy. Sound like people rather fight than govern.

Maybe I'm the only person who has spoken with and had dinner with actual mobsters. They rarely admit anything. There's a lingo. "We had a 'conversation' with him." "I ran an auto parts business." "A couple of friends of mine had a 'talk' with him and then he changed his mind."
No question that Trump conveys what he wants - but is careful in the words he used.

Well, the Senate can just do it. Trump could go to court to try to invalidate it but its not like he can stop them.
But I think in practice Biden will make the call whether he wants to deal with the distraction. And that will really depend on what they find in the investigation. I suspect he won't opt for the distraction if it's going to result in another acquittal. Which means most likely, no trial. Again IMO.

What step did they skip?
Examining evidence.
So you're telling me they didn't examine evidence, or are you saying that you don't like the way they did?
Please love yourself.
