You just corrected someone for stating opinions and then stated your own opinion. Which is it?You're stating your opinions, not a fact or a precedent. Both questions are, in fact, undecided. Unless you can backup your statements with some sort of precedent, you should correct yourself.
In at least two cases, the House has impeached and the Senate has tried people for actions in an office they no longer held. In each case a majority of the Senate determined that they did have the right to try those individuals and in each case two-thirds of the Senate failed to convict on those charges. No one has been convicted on charges steming from the time in an office they no longer held. But they have been tried. No court has ever ruled on the issue. So, it is still very much an open questions.
There are viable arguments both ways, but the majority of legal scholars (but far from all) believe that an ex-president (or any other former official) can be tried for actions while they held office.
The above is not my opinion, it is actually fact. But I do agree this is 'arm flapping'. Trump will not be convicted of anything. The only thing that will be accomplished is another chapeter in the Democrate vs. Republican pissing contest.
I believe Trump said ; “They‘re not only coming for me, they’re coming for you.”Have you noticed how ‘fair’ this travesty is? Forcing lawyers to quit a case they’ve been involved in for sometime and to have lawyers with no knowledge of what’s been going on pick it up with no preparation time? Notice how rules of evidence and facts have no bearing?
Well guess what, when they come for us - we’ll get the same..........remember that and act accordingly.
Wait until they start with their 14th Amendment persecution next. Pelosi already said she would to try and disqualify Trump from holding office again regardless of an acquittal.What a waste of tens (possible hundreds) of millions of dollars from hardworking Americans, time and energy from the public servants working for us, and the reputation our federal government never had!

And Trump begins his counteroffensive...
I would hope soI really dislike Pelosi
Well Captain Obvious, who really does like Nancy Pelosi? Every two years the Democratic house members talk about unseating her, but they don't. Because they like her? No. She's got the money - just like Mitch McConnell. If you're a Democratic member of the House and you cross her, you'll get shit committee assignments and , more importantly, she's not going to send donors your way.I really dislike Pelosi

She's a remarkable story in many ways. She entered Congress for the first time already knowing more than 200 other members because of her past fund raising work and family connections. Her ability to network and raise money keeps her where she is. That doesn't necessarily mean anyone likes her.
All of this shit was a waste of time.

I’m thinking it might have been cheaper having them feed their TDS for a few weeks as opposed to them passing spending bills or legislating bullshit.What a waste of tens (possible hundreds) of millions of dollars from hardworking Americans, time and energy from the public servants working for us, and the reputation our federal government never had!
That's an awfully polite way of acknowledging she was a mafia princess. The female Billy Bulger on a national scale. More an indictment of a corrupt and power lusting political party than something 'remarkable'.She's a remarkable story in many ways.

Come on, MAN!The BBee covers both sides of the street :

Impeachment Fails, Trump Reinstated As President
“That son of a gun has done it again!” muttered Joe Biden to himself as he began to clean out his desk. “I thought we had him the second time for sure. Now I’ve gotta clean out the place right in the middle of nap time!”babylonbee.com
