Trump’s trial saw overwhelming evidence, which was never refuted by the defendant. He confirmed Trump’s role in inciting the mob to insurrection and attack the Capitol on which this impeachment and trial was based.

The Corona impeachment in May of 2012 was a crass, personal and petty display of naked political power by President PNoy.
