Foregone it was, acquittal in this trial
In spite of proof beyond all trumped up doubt
That Trump was guilty; no one was beguiled
To otherwise believe. The truth blared out.
House managers, magnificent their spiel
Trump’s lawyers hardly earned their legal pay
Irrelevant was what they brought to say
For them it was a painful, harsh ordeal
Some seven brave Republicans rebelled
Against the rest who voted to acquit
That seven put their country first, revealed
The remnants of the GOP. That’s it!
The rest belong to Trump, tied at the hip
To do his bidding, yes, stiff upper lip!
Now that he feels no binding of constraints
He has his army, trial-by-battle trained
I doubt he’ll wait four years to make his move
The feel of power hungering his soul
To get it back at any cost, his goal
Clear vigilance, upon us, it behooves

Dear Allen,
You hit the nail flat on its head!
Per usual, succinctly said!
Although all had been foretold,
My optimism took hold
Until Trump’s chumps from just judgment fled!
Darn!!!!
Your verse was terse and aptly said
Your praise has gone straight to my head
I normally don’t go whole hog,
But,
I’d love to post it on my BLOG
McConnell made it clear that Trump was guilty and encouraged the country to hold him accountable in the court system. Muller even said he was guilty of obstruction and now that he is a private citizen, multiple law suits should be filed. We knew the republicans would Acquit him so what McConnel said is a gift we should praise and use against Trump via the Justice department and Civil Courts.

Thanks, Rich, for your comment. I agree that McConnell’s post trial speech sounded like one of the House managers. He said he voted for acquittal since he came to the conclusion that a former president can’t be impeached. This, after he forced the trial to take place after Trump was out of office by not reconvening the Senate for the trial before Jan 20. Also, the Senate voted that the trial was in order. He may have been sincere in his statement but his audience were the large donors who fund the Republican party. The Democrats still might use the 14th amendment to keep him from holding office in the future. Civil and criminal suites will probably be filed against Trump but those will, likely, take years to make it through the courts.
