But the way things are going, there could be an acquittal by the weekend.
To be honest, Lindsey Graham revealed himself to be a fence-sitter. He clearly isnât capable of putting a stop to the biggest steal of the century. And thatâs fine. Because I have a feeling Grahamâs wishy washy demeanor regarding the 2020 election will prove to be the end of his long career in Congress.
Of course, thatâs what we need. To rid DC of those whoâve leeched off the system for decades. But in the meantime, Graham is still considered a voice to be reckoned with. And as such, Graham predicts this leftist-led circus leads to one outcome, and one outcome only.
NOT GUILTY
In todayâs hearings, Michael van der Veen, an attorney on Trumpâs legal team, called the impeachment trial an âunjust and unconstitutional act of political vengeance.â Further, van der Veen offers evidence supporting his statements that nobody could think Trumpâs speech incited violence.
He plays video of House Democrats, including Raskin, objecting to certification after Trump was elected. He says it is a âpreposterousâ and âmonstrous lieâ to claim that Trump wanted to incite violence.
Van Der Veen: "No thinking person could seriously believe that the president's January 6th speech on the Ellipse was in any way incitement to violence or insurrection. The suggestion is patently absurd on its face."

As van der Veen put it, âyou canât incite what it already going to happen.â Letâs get real. Trump didnât say anything we havenât heard for years. At least as far as inflammatory language is concerned.
Havenât Democrats repeatedly supported protesters who donât adhere to âpeacefulâ standards?
Just a few months ago, âAutonomous Zonesâ surfaced in cities such as Seattle. Did Congress discourage their methodology? Of course not. Even after a black man died in the CHOP Zone, because gangsters wouldnât allow police or ambulance to try to save him, leftists defended the violent protest zones.
As a result, last summer nearly 75% of DC cops admitted they were ready to walk away from the police force. And one can bet that number largely reflects the frustration police now feel. Sadly, politicians are slow to defend law enforcement and quick to crucify them. And that leaves all of us in a sour spot.
It took Donald Trumpâs dedication to law and order to put an end to Seattleâs CHOP Zone and the many other violent protests in the nation. And to thank him, he faces the firing squad AGAIN.
Impeachment Inapplicable
At the end of the day, thereâs one thing leftists refuse to see. And itâs a pretty important piece of this puzzle. Thereâs no precedent for impeaching a politician no longer in office. That means the only reason to hold an impeachment is to embarrass Donald Trump and try to keep him from coming back in 2024.
As ABC News adds:
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., asked both House managers and Trumpâs legal team if a future Congress could impeach a former secretary of state.
âVoting to convict the former president would create a new precedent that a formal official can be convicted and disqualified by the Senate,â Rubioâs question said.
âTherefore, is it not true that, under this new precedent, a future House facing partisan pressure to âlock her upâ could impeach a former secretary of state and a future Senate be forced to put her on trial and potentially disqualify from any future office?â
As you might guess, Democrats didnât want to go there. Which is too bad, because that would be the show of a lifetime to see.
