Michael Luttig is the conservative legal scholar that loudly advanced the theory that Trump couldn’t be impeached after leaving office, and he gave the Republican senators the loophole they desperately needed. > **[Opinion | Once Trump leaves office, the Senate can’t hold an impeachment trial](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/12/once-trump-leaves-office-senate-cant-hold-an-impeachment-trial/)** > > The Constitution only allows for the impeachment trial of a sitting president, not a former president.

Hey, don’t disparage him.

But that’s wrong, isn’t it? He was still in office when the house impeached him. That took, what, a day? The senate could have confirmed because he was still the president at the time. The time he threw his sedition/insurrection riot that got people killed. ---

As it unfortunately seems that the tanTrump has procreated it could only be a Darwin Award _second class_. Not even that he manages to win in style. Now Felon of the Year, that would be something. ---

> [@smithsb](#): > > Years? It took years? > > "Georgia’s State Election Board eventually dismissed its investigation into supposed election fraud at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The investigation found that the claims were “unsubstantiated and found to have no merit.” All part of the plan for letting the GOP get away with it. So they get sued by these poll workers. They go into court, and say, “This was such a mess, it even took the election officials _years_ to sort out if these people were guilty or not! How could we be expected to get it right way back then?!? NO DEFAMATION!!!” ---
