Just being realistic, he couldn't stop his own staff and appointments from constantly backstabbing him. He did a lot of good, but he can't do it alone. "Trust the plan" was always about tricking us into doing nothing.

House Committed Six Violations of the Constitution During Impeachment: Alan Dershowitz
BY SAMUEL ALLEGRI

Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said that the house violated six independent points of the Constitution when impeaching President Donald Trump.
In an interview with Newsmax, Dershowitz said: “They violated the free speech provision. They violated the impeachment criteria. They violated the bill of attainder. They violated due process, on and on and on.”
“How can you impeach a president for a speech that is constitutionally protected?” he said.

The law expert said that Congress is not above the law, but that ironically, they have protection from culpability for what they do on the Senate floor.
“But the only sanction is to vote them out of office and to bring them to trial in the court of public opinion,” Dershowitz told host Carl Higbie. “Senators and congressmen are immune from lawsuits for what they do or say on the floor of the Senate, so there can’t be any personal lawsuits.”

“The Constitution is very clear, the purpose of impeachment is removal,” he said. “The Senate cannot try an ordinary citizen.”

On a single article of impeachment, the House voted 232–197 to impeach President Trump, on Wednesday for “incitement of insurrection.” Democrats and 10 Republicans contended Trump incited the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Trump is the third president to be impeached and the first to be impeached twice. No president has ever been impeached and convicted and no president has ever been placed on trial after leaving office.
A single 7-hour impeachment hearing session constituted the fastest impeachment in U.S. history.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi appointed Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who recently came to the spotlight for his alleged intimate relationship with a purported Chinese spy, as impeachment manager.
Some legal experts argue holding an impeachment trial after Trump leaves office violates the Constitution.
“Once Trump’s term ends on Jan. 20, Congress loses its constitutional authority to continue impeachment proceedings against him—even if the House has already approved articles of impeachment,” J. Michael Luttig, a retired federal judge, wrote in an op-ed.
Others say a trial could commence.
“Of course, you can impeach, convict, and disqualify a former officeholder,” Gregg Nunziata, a former Senate Judiciary Committee lawyer, said in a tweet. “This view is supported by English custom, Constitutional text and structure, original understanding, and continuous Senate precedent.”
Under the U.S. Constitution, the Senate conducts an impeachment trial when the House impeaches a president. The upper congressional chamber can acquit a president or convict him. A two-thirds vote is required to convict. When the House impeached Trump on a separate matter in 2019, the Senate voted to acquit him 21 days after the trial started.
All liberals are comfortable with their hypocrisy. They will break every rule, violate every law, and spout double standards until they're blue in the face. They do not care. They are evil. You will never stop them by wagging your finger at them.
They take anything short of outright punishment as an invitation to do it again.
... and but for a couple, not one fricking Representative or Senator seemed to know that! They sold out our President, our fair and free elections, our Constitution, our County and our trust. They sold our county out. NEVER WILL I TRUST A REPUBLICAN AGAIN.... EVER!
This. Might as well be pissing into the wind

I think our justice system is a sick joke.

They basically stole an election, there is nothing that matters anymore. Laws don't matter to them, the people certainly don't nor any kind of morals.
Corruption at it's finest.

Let them be tried and convicted in military Tribunals.
Military brass wants their never ending wars and promotion machine back. They're not on our side.
Violating the Constitution is what the clowns in Congress do best. They’ve become an illegitimate government.
In other words, business as usual.
Now anytime Congress is controlled by one party and the President is another party, the President will be impeached. Nice move Democrats.
The list of crimes grows by the day with them. Keep it up. Just digging a deeper hole.
So I wonder could President Trump SUE the House of Representatives for a botched impeachment when President Trump is no longer the sitting president?

Just means they are in free fall complete panic

He's right. This isn't even a difficult case, when rule of law applies. But we're a banana republic now.
Let me know as soon as you remember the last time anyone in DC gave a fuck about the constitution.
