The Democratic impeachment trial managers are experienced lawyers, prosecutors, and constitutional law experts, and the defense team will consist of Alan Dershowitz, Rudy Giuliani, and whoever else Trump can con into representing him.
Soon to be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell wants Trump to be run out of the Republican Party, and if this trial takes place when Trump is no longer in office, it would not be surprising to see more Republicans than Mitt Romney vote to convict.
The second impeachment of Donald Trump just got real, and no matter when the trial happens, Trump will be the only president in US history to be impeached twice.
