Ex-Prosecutor Delivers Dangerous Information to Trump About His Reported ‘Pocket Self-Pardon’

Fifteen of the 50 Republican senators refused to appear for at least “the first few hours” of Thursday’s Democratic executives’ arguments in impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump, CNN’s Manu Raju and Forbes.

That’s 30 percent of the Republican caucus in the Senate, or almost a third of GOP members.

“Sens. For example, Lindsey Graham (RS.C.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) Were both removed from their desks while Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho) was on his phone in the basement, CNN’s Manu Raju reported. Forbes adds.

“Many in the chamber were busy with other activities: Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) And Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) were reading newspapers, while CNN’s Jeremy Herb had Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.)).” a blank map of Asia on his desk and writing on it as if writing down the names of the countries. ‘ ”

Worse still, at least one Republican senator has violated his oath to ensure “impartial justice.”

Senators must swear or affirm that he or she will “do justice impartially under the constitution and law.”

But Senator John Boozman (R-AR) “said Thursday that he decided to acquit Trump for believing the process is unconstitutional and is in among Republican senators likely or certain to oppose conviction.” brings in the file, “reports NBC News.

“That was unconstitutional. So it’s difficult to make a backup, ”Boozman told reporters on Thursday afternoon.

Legal experts say this is wrong. The Senate as a body voted 56-44 that he actually has jurisdiction in this case and that it is constitutional to try Trump after he leaves office. Senators don’t have to be flexible to make the rules.

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig, a former federal attorney, tweeted on Wednesday, “After the Senate ruled that the process is * constitutional *, the senators should not rely on an unconstitutional argument for the final verdict.”

CNN’s Raju also caught one of Trump’s impeachment attorneys who got out on Thursday and chose to do a live interview with Fox News instead of paying attention.

“Why take a break from the trial and do this live recording in the middle of your trial?” Raju asked David Schoen.

“It’s more like the same thing, they show points that don’t exist,” replied Schön. “In terms of the healing process, it is frankly insulting to continue to display the tragedy that happened here and that Donald Trump condemned,” he claimed.

Trump, who has never shown remorse or taken responsibility for the domestic terrorism he instigated and carried out on his behalf, has never pushed for a cure and only condemned the Capitol attack a week after the uprising.
