The Senate on Saturday voted to acquit former President Donald Trump on a charge of incitement of insurrection largely along party lines, bringing an end to the fourth impeachment trial in U.S. history and the second for Trump.

Only seven Republicans voted to convict Trump for allegedly inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, when a mob of pro-Trump supporters tried to disrupt the electoral vote count formalizing Joe Biden's election win before a joint session of Congress. The final vote was 57 to 43, far short of the 67 votes needed to secure a conviction.

Republican Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania all voted guilty.

The vote means the Senate cannot bar Trump from holding future federal offices.











Cassidy is toast.

I know 7 senators with a primary target on their backs.

Cassidy just as well take himself down to the Registrar of Voters Office and can be his party affiliation.

How can the constituents who put these 7 into power ever trust them again? I hope their trough feeding careers are over.

Beavis(Cassidy) just got re-elected in Nov 2020. We'll have to put up with the RINO for 6 more Years. Unl was he can be recalled or resigns.

Probably why he did what he did and betrayed his electors. Coward.

THat stinking back stabbing McConnell trashed the president after the acquital. I'd like to see that bastard put in a chinese prison.
