However, seeing the group as a stumble downplays the danger of what Mr. Trump and his allies tried to do, and downplays how serious it was: As committee member Rep. Adam Schiff noted, the country “barely” survived Mr. Trump`s electoral subversion attempt, which could have worked despite the legal and factual flaws of the fraud allegations. There`s no denying that Mr. Trump`s prosecution is fraught with legal difficulties. To the extent that charges such as obstruction of official proceedings or conspiracy to defraud the United States affect Mr. Trump – an issue on which there is significant debate – it can be difficult to get to the bottom of what he actually believed, given his track record of lying and doubling. if he has been confronted with facts to the contrary.

Although the rule of law is the cornerstone of almost every advanced society on the planet, it is estimated that 57% of the world`s population lives outside this umbrella. This means that 57% of people do not have access to fundamental rights, protections and remedies. This exclusion not only has a significant impact on the lives of these people, but also on the overall stability, security, economic health and social progress of many countries around the world. This may sound like a line from the latest Hollywood blockbuster, but the idea that “no one is above the law” underpins the entire legal system today and is the essence of the rule of law. This concern is real, but if there has ever been a case extreme enough to warrant the impeachment of a president, it is, and Mr.

Trump is the person. This is not only because of what he will do if he is re-elected after not being impeached (and after not being convicted after two impeachment trials, one for the behavior discussed), but also because of the message it sends for the future. The consistent policy of the national government, so far as it has the power to do so, is to control the unscrupulous man, whether an employer or an employee; but to refuse to weaken the initiative or to hinder or hinder the industrial development of the country.

The testimonies of the hearings reveal a coordinated and extensive conspiracy to overthrow the will of the people and install Mr. Trump as president, even though Joe Biden won the election by 74 votes in the Electoral College (not to mention a lead of about seven million in the popular vote).
