Acquitted???

God's righteousness is like the mighty mountains

How is it possible that this man who has 

• asked Ukrainians to investigate the former president of the US,
• lied about it and tried to cover it up,
• refused to allow witnesses at his trial, and 
• refused to supply emails and other documents--

how is it possible that US senators do not convict him of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress?

And that's not even counting all the criminal acts documented in the Mueller Report.

I will never understand--except that "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," as John Dalberg-Acton (1834-1902) wrote.

The senators have power, and they want to retain it.  They fear dt and his supporters.

Here's how the New York Times reports on this catastrophe:
