After listening to historian Timothy Snyder's interview today

I’m leaning toward wanting the Senate trial to occur after Biden installs his cabinet and thorough investigations have been conducted.

Important to listen to entire interview to reach this conclusion.

His recent book The Road to Unfreedom goes a long way towards explaining what is currently going on in our country, and also in Europe--and why Putin wants to destroy western democracies.
