House Democrats on Tuesday argued that former Pres. Trump bears 'unmistakable' responsibility for inciting the Jan. 6 riot on the Capitol, calling it a 'betrayal of historic proportions' that demands judgment from the Senate.

In their 80-page brief filed Tuesday morning, the House impeachment managers depicted the riot as Trump's last-ditch effort to overturn the presidential election after dozens of failed lawsuits and pressure campaigns against state election officials. Seeking to anticipate Trump's defense that his comments about the election and at the Jan. 6 rally were protected speech, the brief argues that Trump's challenge to the results was a"direct assault on core First Amendment principles," and that holding him accountable would"vindicate First Amendment freedoms - which certainly offer no excuse or defense for President Trump's destructive conduct.

With the amount of & seriousness of evidence, not convicting Trump would send a chill across our nation & the world w/a devastating effect on our children who will then believe that the avowed & highly regarded justice of our nation, is a wash.Let’s not allow this to happen

What do they bear unmistakable responsibility for? TANKING THE country, they are evil and they are destroying America just like you ABC.....

BULLSHIT!! DEMS are so afraid of PRESIDENT TRUMP and his supporters.

'History, originalism, and textualism thus leave no doubt that the Senate has jurisdiction—and a constitutional duty—to decide this case on the merits.'

May the force be with them.

JUST IN: Former Pres. Trump submits his formal answer to the article of impeachment through his attorneys, arguing the trial is unconstitutional as he is out of office, and denying he violated his oath.

Sequel: Senate appoints Jar Jar Binks to oversee trial

With the amount of & seriousness of the evidence, not convicting Trump would send a chill across our nation & the world w/a devastating effect on our children who will then believe that the avowed & highly regarded justice in our nation, is a wash. Let’s not allow this to happen.
