If a 'murderous, potentially mass murderous riot put forth by a president against another branch of government ... isn't enough to get a conviction on impeachment, then we should retire the word impeachment from the legal dictionary,' Dan Rather says.

gop republic 4 yrs ago you created a monster...he’s now trying to bully you all again in voting against the impeachmeant go back to your values. republicanparty is greater than 1 ego centric narcissistic deluded man whose motives are suspect! Don’t make the same mistake twice

Article 3, section 3, clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution specifies that the giving of aid and comfort to the enemy is an element in the crime of Treason. Those who signal to the violent right that the Senate can be intimidated by threats are complicit.

Wow, mass murder now? Propaganda machine at full speed!! Simmer down!!!

GreatDismal No... Let the term there and remove the shorter than the role...

...then we actually live in a White Supremacist country...

Republikkklans

It is pathetic to think we have to have this debate.

Dan you’re an has been! Your biased opinion is shameful! He was your President who was elected, and he would never entice , he was a commoner down to earth guy unlike many politicians, he cared for his country! By the way I’m a Canadian! And Biden is making Canada an enemy alread

Again I ask how did Trump incite anything when his actual words were “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Doesn’t sound like inciting anything to me.... Maybe someone can answer

The logic is there and makes sense, to sane people. However, to some Republicans this is how they show their patriotism!

When u have Senators like Bible quoting Marco Rubio defending a President whose followers r responsible 4 deaths of 5 people including murder of 1 policeman who also desecrated our sacred capitol drove a sword through heart of democracy Trump won't b convict

With the judicial branch of government confirming the validity of the election in multiple court cases. DanRather

What happened to LawAndOrder ? insurrection, the killing of a police officer and putting Mike_Pence and Congress in harms way has consequences. We also need to impose the 14thAmendment on those who contributed to the attack on our democracy! EnoughIsEnough

Can you imagine how quickly republicans would have convicted trump is he'd received a blow job? Priorities.

Great logic

Amen

Agreement on this. What a sad state of affairs this government has turned into. Anyone that votes against conviction should be voted out for not honoring their oath to the constitution.

My thoughts exactly.

Potential President’s be VERY careful when voting at the Senate impeachment trial. Do the RIGHT vote not the EASY vote. We WILL be remembering how the GOP deals with the 1/6 crimes. we will not forget

Isn't Dan Rather a disgraced partisan 'journalist' who was caught pushing outright lies against a politician he had a personal vendetta against?
