Trump has already been impeached (e.g. charged) in the House. The trial in the Senate determines if he is 'guilty' of the charges levied in the House. If Senate confirms the impeachment, Trump loses the right to run again for any federal office, loses any post-presidency benefits (clearances?) and it would go down on his record. Also, I would think a 'guilty' confirmation from Senate would open Trump to lawsuits from the families of anyone hurt in the confrontation. And..... he didn't instigate anything.
Yes, but losing the right to run for federal office and the rest seems like small sacrifice to pay to get your enemy further into the realm of insanity. It would definitely bring something like the Patriot Party closer to reality, for example.
You don't want the swamp to become clear-headed and rational. You want them thrashing about doing insane bullshit.
