Now that the second trial of the man who instigated an insurrection has started in the Senate, House managers should consider calling two witnesses. A former White House aide has told the press that Killer was “loving watching the Capitol mob” storm the Capitol on television. There are indications that he also rebuffed calls from senior officials aksing him to intervene in the violent events. Such testimony under oath would go a long way towards proving his malicious state of mind and rebut claiims that the mob acted independently of his weeks of unfounded, public claims that the election was being stolen, so "fight[ing] like hell" was necessary to reclaim the country from a usurper. (Several rioters have stated in their prosecutions they were summoned by the President to assault the capital building )
The other witness should be William Barr, the former Attorney General, who told Killer at one point in the lead up to the January 6th Insurrection that there was no evidence of election fraud sufficient to overturn the election results. The basis and circumstances of that advice should be revealed to the public and senators to rebut the BIG LIE of a fraudulent election. Useless US Person is aware of the pressure to wrap up an impeachment trial that many consider a foregone conclusion quickly, but is not the future of this Republic worth another day or even two to present the entire story to those sitting in judgment and sworn to protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic? US Person thinks so.
Ooooh, the pain! |
