Once again it appears that Republicans are willing to shoot themselves in the foot as they slink away from their duty to convict Donald Trump when the trial begins in two weeks. Keep in mind, this was no ordinary crime. Donald Trump didn’t lie about sex in the Oval Office; he didn’t pay thugs to get information on his opponent and lie about it.
No, what this man is being charged with is “incitement of insurrection.” There can be no more heinous crime committed by a commander in chief.
Yet Republicans still hide in corners, afraid to do their duty. While privately many will admit that the seditious crimes committed by Mr. Trump are worthy of impeachment, in public they cower, pathetically terrified of his followers, afraid of their own shadows. Their one concern is power. Power for power’s sake.
