Question to Pelosi via the Post's own @pkcapitol: Do you think Trump will be emboldened if he gets acquitted?
Pelosi: "He will not be acquitted." She argues that Trump can't be acquitted if he doesn't have a trial that includes witnesses and documents.

(3,491 posts)We can call it unfair and a sham, as he has called the whole affair, and neither side will be right. His impeachment was neither unfair nor a sham and his acquittal will stand as such.

(25,111 posts)At least there were witnesses, documents and evidence on both sides during the impeachment. She is correct and the GOPers know it but do not care.
Unfortunately we must counter and put forth the truth. I've been told all my life that truth shall prevail, and I do believe it.

(3,491 posts)We can shake our fists and scream about it but he will be considered acquitted under the constitution. Im afraid quaint phrases are meaningless in the face of reality. They are ending our Republic by doing this.

He is clearly obstructing the impeachment process, which is not included in the current charges of obstruction he is currently being impeached for.
