washington democrats made up their minds
to impeach president trump before he was
even
inaugurated donald trump is a living
breathing
impeachable offense donald trump is
facing an impeachment trial
again no president has ever been
impeached twice
and no president has ever gone on trial
after leaving office
it's fair to say we're in pretty
uncharted territory
so what's the case against him
donald trump is accused of inciting
violence against the government
specifically this the storming of
congress by
thousands of his supporters
but his accusers say you have to go back
a couple of months to last november's
presidential election
we know there was massive fraud that was
a rigged election if you count the
legal votes i easily win trump lost
but refused to admit it not only that
but when the state of georgia was
getting ready to hold a second
round of voting to settle two very close
senate races
mr trump is accused of trying to
intervene illegally
i only need 11 000 votes fellas i need
11
000 votes give me a break it all came to
a head on january the 6th
when congress was due to confirm the
results of the presidential election
in a long bitter speech mr trump railed
against the entire election process
we fight like hell and if you don't
fight like hell
you're not going to have a country
anymore
[Applause]
within minutes of him finishing some of
his supporters were breaking into the
capitol building
but did the president actually incite
violence
america's first amendment which protects
freedom of speech
gives mr trump lots of leeway to say
pretty much whatever he wants
short of ordering his supporters to
storm the capital
which he did not do i know that everyone
here will soon be marching over to the
capitol building
to peacefully and patriotically make
your voices heard
it'll be up to the senate's 100 members
to decide if mr trump is guilty
or not and the democrats will need at
least 17 republicans to join them
to get a conviction it's a really tall
order most republicans think the trial
shouldn't even be happening
this proceeding we are about to enter is
unconstitutional
but what if it does go against him well
then donald trump will be the first
president to be impeached
and convicted he'd almost certainly be
barred from ever running for public
office again
and he could lose his presidential
pension and perks
but what if he wins the democrats could
still try and find some other way to
punish the former president
but to survive impeachment twice in a
year
would in the eyes of mr trump's loyal
base represent
another victory against an establishment
that's just out to get him
a useful platform perhaps on which to
launch
another presidential bid
