Some Republicans joined Democrats in the House in the vote to impeach
Impeach was House. Convict was Senate. Courts did not say nothing could be done without impeachment because there was no court case.
So again, what was in the report that was discovered after the Nov 5th 2024 that would have forced Trump's conviction?
There is nothing in the case that was new. Therefore Trump could have been in jail while the case was being built.
Do you actually believe that Trump will be arrested in 4 years? Because if not, then the entire idea that he would be exonerated is irrelevant.
You said he shouldn't have been jailed because without an airtight case, he could have been released. Then what's the worst that could have happen had he been found not guilty two years ago? He could get reelected? Well look what happened.
