To the editor: Former President Trump’s apologists have desperately cast about for arguments against holding his second Senate impeachment trial. Their primary contention, aside from their specious argument that they cannot try an ex-president, seems to be that his inflammatory comments on Jan. 6 were not intended to cause death and destruction.
What about drunk drivers who say that they never intended to crash into another car and kill its occupants?
Where Trump could be charged with aiding and abetting horrific crimes, conservatives shouldn’t whine about impeachment proceedings. Didn’t most GOP lawmakers vote to impeach President Clinton for lying about a consensual sex act?
