from Jamie Raskin:

'In the most bipartisan presidential impeachment vote in the history of the country, a powerful majority of both houses of Congress found that the former President incited violent insurrection against the Union and the Congress. History will record his terrible constitutional crime.

My profound thanks to the American people for engaging so passionately with this crucial process and to our remarkable House impeachment managers and staff for their solemn work.'

they proved their case. Majority of Americans know t-rump incited the insurrection, and I am proud of them. I was proud of the 1st Impeachment Managers as well. Unfortunately the USA has many enemies from within.

He gave all but the most blindly partisan no choice but to invoke a technicality to acquit.

He also gave many of us a reason to feel proud and hopeful about our country again.

He will be eternally revered by many Americans.
