>_Who_ would charge him with a crime? Prosecution is the responsibility of the Executive branch via the Department of Justice.

He only needs to piss off two SCOTUS's to start to have the entire book thrown at him. Unlike Congress, Judges tend to be somewhat resiliant to the political atmosphere. That's a lot more viable than congress. Less people to squabble with and people less concerned about losing their job. I woudn't even count out the entire DoJ on this either.They've been denying some of Trump's craziest EO's.

>Or a violent mob could be used to interrupt the impeachment vote.

Good. I'm tired of being blamed for "rebellion" everytime someone stands in front of a building with a sign. Let Jan 6th repeat while all eyes are on the Capitol looking at Trump.




January sixth was an insurrection, that fact is not changed by trump pardoning the traitors who terrorized Congress that day.
