GOP senator says conviction of Trump is 'very unlikely' as Senate trial is set to start

Toomey, who called on Trump to resign before he left office last month, said the trial is "clearly constitutional" in part because the House charged Trump while he was president. The Republican said he would "objectively evaluate the very specific article of impeachment.", R-S.C., argued in a CBS interview that the impeachment article is unconstitutional.It is still unclear how the Senate will structure the trial and how long it will last.

The conspiracy theories and subsequent attack have left Republicans grappling with how to treat Trump in the future. He remains the most popular figure in the GOP, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., met with him about supporting the party in the midterm elections next year. Rep. Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican whose vote to impeach Trump prompted a failed effort to oust her from the No. 3 House GOP leadership spot, has called for the party to distance itself from the former president.

Not going to happen! God has His hands on Trump!

Of course it is...party first! With reps being silenced by state parties no senator will risk it. Right, wrong, it's the party of Trump love it or leave it bitches!

If all set politics aside , show all evidences. Trump will be convicted. 😎

It better not be or the Senate will have 74M agree constituents. May not like Trumps personality, but did nothing to deserve Impeachment and he is already out of office. His statement of Fight like hell has been stated in a speech by about every Dem during the last 4 yrs.

Still uncertain why we must keep saying “sedition must have consequences”. He must be convicted of inciting insurrection & all crimes for which he is guilty. Our nation cannot heal without this & senators representing the minority of the people mustn’t continue this charade

I want to ask the Americans, if they attack you, will you defend yourself?

A failure of our constitutional government to work as intended due to political self-interest.

We can only hope

Nothing like waiting to hear the evidence. What a sad joke the senate has become.

Where are all the RECUSALS for all GOP that have their minds made up without a full trial filled with facts, truths, evidence, witnesses?. GOP GOPLeader LeaderMcConnell DNC SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer POTUS VP CNN MSNBC FaceTheNation ABC CBSNews

Typical GOP protecting their criminals.

Ofcourse. Republicans will not convict him we all know that. They’re a sad bunch of sheep. They’re all POS. My question is can Trump be criminally charge and be hold responsible any other way. This motherfuucer need to be convicted.

So why waste taxpayers time and money.

Cowards, Fascists....

Don the Con trump’s blatant criminality must lead to a guilty verdict. A not guilty merely confirms that justice is biased in favour of the wealthy and elite, reinforcing the belief that government cannot be trusted.

Great use of time and resources!

So he's a tainted juror

Yes we know, the gop is jam packed with traitors for Trump, the spineless cowards.

Can we get our tax dollars back for this trial?

Cowards
