    Mr.Neal, You don't seem to understand the American justice system. You see, in America you have to prove that someone is guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt. You are asking that people involved in the election prove it is innocent. That is totally ill-informed, backwards, and contrary to American juris prudence. Every time Mr. Trump's lawyers were asked, point-blank, in a court of law, if they had any evidence of fraud in the elections, they answered, "No".

    I’m pretty sure the state has to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal case. In civil cases, preponderance of the evidence is the standard.

    Nice try though

    How many times do you really want to run around this circular argument?

    yeah, I've given up trying to persuade those who won't accept this election result. Some false beliefs are tenacious. Humans get mental viruses, too, and we are suffering a bit of a pandemic over this election. It will pass.

    We can let the police, the FBI, and the military take care of them if necessary to control criminality (depending on the scale) should it develop further.

    Countdown until the maniac is gone? She lost four years ago, and is long since gone.

    Hillary started that, not Trump, by howling endlessly about the 2016 election. How could she possibly lose? It must have been the Russians. Yeah, that's it, the Russians! She went on campaigning even after the election had ended. That set up a very dangerous precedent that an election is only legitimate if one's desired candidate wins. The debate about this election or the one in 2016 has very little to do with democracy. America's two largest political parties are like two warring mafia families, and should be expected to act accordingly.

    The ghost of HC is still haunting some people....

    I'll repeat, this conspiracy theory of voter fraud and election machine error was begun in the corner of the internet, amplified on social media, reported in the press, and then broadcast and supported by the President to the world hundreds of times up to the hours before they stormed the Capitol.

    It was also aided and abetted by the weak-spined GOP members of Congress, especially in the House.

    It is an argument from anyone deluded by three decades of Hillary-hate, compounded by outright stupidity.

    TS, TS-
    I can't give you credit, but I can acknowledge your unceasing comments which both mistate and misunderstand a statement. Not everyone can do that with your consistency.
    It's not "but Hillary," it's still Hillary.

    Trump speaks, finally, about his crowd's storming of the Capitol as he called for Congress to overthrow the election.

    President Trump on Tuesday showed no contrition or regret for instigating the mob that stormed the Capitol and threatened the lives of members of Congress and his vice president, saying that his remarks to a rally beforehand were “totally appropriate” and that the effort by Congress to impeach and convict him was “causing tremendous anger.”

    Answering questions from reporters for the first time since the violence at the Capitol on Wednesday, the president sidestepped questions about his culpability in the deadly riot that shook the nation’s long tradition of peaceful transfers of power.

    “People thought what I said was totally appropriate,” Mr. Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews, en route to Alamo, Texas, where he was set to visit the border wall. Instead, Mr. Trump claimed that racial justice protests over the summer were “the real problem.”
    Note the all-too-usual Trumpism: "People thought what I said was totally appropriate,” as in his typical "people say" [whatever crazy right-wing conspiracy crap he has just heard].

    The House is debating whether to impeach Trump a second time.

    Republicans begin to join impeachment push

    By
    Mike DeBonis,
    Josh Dawsey and
    Seung Min Kim

    Jan. 12, 2021 at 6:59 p.m. EST

    The push for an unprecedented second impeachment of President Trump took a dramatic bipartisan turn Tuesday, as several senior House Republicans joined the Democratic effort to remove Trump for his role in inciting an angry mob to storm the Capitol last week and the White House braced for more defections.

    Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), the third-ranking House Republican, and Rep. John Katko (N.Y.), the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, both held Trump responsible for Wednesday’s violence. They were joined by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a frequent Trump critic.

    “The president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack,” Cheney said in a statement, adding, “There has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”

    Katko’s language was similarly strong. “To allow the president of the United States to incite this attack without consequences is a direct threat to the future of our democracy,” he said.

    Kinzinger added, “If these actions . . . are not worthy of impeachment, then what is an impeachable offense?”

    A senior administration official said the White House expects at least a dozen House Republicans to support impeachment. The White House is rudderless, unwilling or unable to mount any defense other than saying that Trump will already be leaving next week, two administration officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal dynamics.

    Trump, banned from Twitter, for the first time lacks the ability to aim angry tweets at those who oppose him, and White House officials conceded that he has few ways to stem the tide. He has asked Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) to urge fellow Republicans to oppose impeachment, an official said

    The Republican statements supporting impeachment — which came after Trump delivered remarks earlier Tuesday expressing no regret for his actions — represented a watershed moment. They signaled high-level GOP concern about the role of Trump and other party leaders in spreading conspiracy theories about the recent election, and reflected how much the political landscape has shifted since Trump was acquitted in his first impeachment trial last February.

    Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been telling associates since the attack that Trump probably committed impeachable offenses, as first reported by the New York Times. McConnell, a close adviser said, has not decided how he will vote on impeachment and wants to hear the case first.
