William Belknap? The Senate acquitted him, in part because it's unconstitutional to impeach a private citizen.

He was impeached and tried though, which serves as their precedent for impeaching a private citizen. The fineprint like he was acquitted because its unconstitutional to impeach a private citizen doesnt matter to these people.

But go ahead, play their game despite them not having the votes to convict. Give them their soundbytes and Twitter clips. Let them control the narrative instead of giving people a voice like what should have happened on January 6th in congress. Dont show them the BLM/Antifa people changing into MAGA gear and trying to get people to destroy stuff and burn down the capitol. Or the guy waving the Confederate flag in the capitol who was a registered democrat who didnt even vote. Dont show them the police standing down, guiding people inside and opening barriers, let them paint sicknick (a trump supporter) as being dead because of Trump and jot because he had a prior health condition unrelated to the protest.

I really dont understand the strategy here.
