What's the difference between the 1st and 2nd Impeachment of Donald Trump?

There will be a real trial now. And every Senator will have to go on record.

I can't imagine there will be 17 Republican Senators who will vote to convict, especially not any who happen to be up for election next year.

There will be a day of reckoning....and 2 years is a long time for Trump crimes to get exposed. Good luck defending a crime boss that is the most corrupt/incompetent person to slide into office, losing the popular vote.

Chuck out the 2015 Archives when we had already figured out that Trump was a NatSec risk.....and we really ought to confirm and try, if warraanted, now.
