After playing footage from the Capitol riot, lead House impeachment manager Jamie Raskin says Donald Trump's actions on January 6 constitute “a high crime and misdemeanor.' “If that's not an impeachable offense, then there is no such thing,' Raskin says.

as a result of the riot, including a woman who was fatally shot by police and three people who died of apparent medical emergencies.hundreds of pro-Trump protesters pushed through barriers set up along the perimeter of the Capitol, where they tussled with officers in full riot gear, some calling the officers"traitors" for doing their jobs.police said demonstrators got into the building and the doors to the House and Senate were being locked.

Lawmakers began returning to the Capitol after the building was secured and made it clear that they intended to resume their intended business — namely, confirming Biden's win over Trump by counting the votes in the Electoral College.with Pence — who never left the Capitol, according to his press secretary — bringing the Senate session back into order.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement earlier Wednesday evening that congressional leadership wanted to continue with the joint session Wednesday night. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the floor that the"United States Senate will not be intimidated. We will not be kept out of this chamber by thugs, mobs or threats."

It took until deep in the early hours of Thursday morning, but Congress eventually counted and certified Biden's election win.

Fact!

Please ask anyone who voted that impeachment was unconstitutional if they believe Trump can now be indicted for insurrection?

That's a FACT! 'The framers knew who tRump was'. I knew it from the start of his fake term.

I love political theater!!! Gives tabloids like cnn a day to shine.

Traitor Trump wants to claim he can't be tried for impeachment because he's no longer president and at the same time claim he's really still the president.

CNN... Very little news without your talk show hosts flooding it with their opinions. Go back to school and maybe you can relearn what a journalist is supposed to be doing.

How is someone impeached from office that they no longer hold?

What is Bruce Castor Jr. Talking about? Nonsense!

Donald Trump should NOT just be tried in the House, he should Not be allowed to Run for Office in 2024 but after inciting the Insurrection on 6th January he has Blood on his Hands for the Deaths of the 7 People & he should be Tried in Court

I will just be satisfied if they just barred him from running for office ever again, because doesn't deserve another chance to ruin this country

What did the other side say? You going to give us both sides or just the one?

FakeCryBaby

Will they get adequate GOP members to convicts orwill the side with the insurrectionist? How then, if they don't convict, can they be seen a responsible elected officials representing all of the people and most importantly law and order?

Bring back the good old days. Public hanging. He needs gone for what he did. It's awful the way he told them to do terrorist things.

Sống tình cảm, biết quan tâm người khác

I wish I could say this was a brilliant opening but sadly, it’s all facts. Raskin didn’t have to word play or distort the facts. This was reality and it was all documented. No fluff needed. No playing to your emotions needed. Removal forever... NEEDED!

Now show the video where Dems encouraged riots and then all the ones that happened last year.

If we decide these actions are indeed exceptable, then how are we expected to act ?

If that is the case how many people should go to jail?

Up to January 6th. Please don’t let him get away with what he has done to ALL of us.

jetzt sind wir weitergezogen. Wenn du bei deinen Streitereien bleiben willst, mach es alleine.

good luck

This latest hormonal hissy fit from the biddies at Nancys henhouse will dismissed just as quickly as the last one And after the 2nd exoneration of all frivolous accusations is complete, the 2024 campaign will begin

'Donald Trump's actions on January 6 constitute “a high crime and misdemeanor.' If this were true, they would be pursuing a criminal trial not a sham impeachment. This is to score final political points any nothing else.

Really. I can think of numerous things that are more worthy of impeachment.

I pray to everything that is good and true in this world to hold strong for all of us Americans today. Let the 45th be held completely and rightfully accountable for his crime. We the people, aren’t stupid. We all saw and experienced what he did that day and all the days leading

T' A disease that must be uprooted from the roots, the first to be regretted by the Republicans.

Now send him to prison for treason.

The lies continue.

The Black Kenyan president was the Patriot. The White American president was the Traitor.
