They were so fearful that Trump might stage a comeback that they hoped to convict him of an offense that would forever disqualify him from holding public office at any time in the future.
Three weeks later, the Senate began an impeachment trial that was so constitutionally questionable that Chief Justice John Roberts refused to preside over the farce.
When Donald Trump left Washington on January 20, 2021, the consensus among our ruling elites was that his tumultuous career in politics was at an end.
Indeed, according to the RealClearPolitics average, Trump’s overall favorability rating climbed by nearly 7 points within ten days of the first televised committee hearing.
It is no coincidence that, less than ninety days later, the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted an unprecedented raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
In Trump’s case, FBI Director Christopher Wray sent thirty heavily armed agents to surround the resort while Trump was out of town and ransacked his family’s private quarters.
Having impeached him just a week earlier in the House of Representatives, they were hard at work preparing to put him on trial in the Senate for “incitement of insurrection” despite the fact that he was no longer in office.
