The
five days of intense debate in the US Senate on Trump's second
impeachment trial were a film that kept tens of millions of Americans
glued to television, fascinated by the pace at which so-called House managers cadenced their indictments of the former US president.
The
embarrassment in the Republican ranks has also grown supported by the
impetitude of the trampist defense college made up of super lawyers with
super parcels but whose performance in defense of the interests of
their representative has been deemed insufficient.
Moreover,
expressed in an aggressive way by third-level courts certainly not in
line with the atmosphere of the highest American institutional body. So
much so that they were repeatedly stigmatised by the President-in-Office
of the sitting.
Yet we have to tell our dear reader that
we were blown away by the closing speech of Mitch McConnell, the
powerful leader of the Republican senators.
We suggest following him by opening the video posted below.
But
for those who have little time to devote to American affairs, it should
be better to specify that the aforementioned powerful Republican
politician (for decades in the senate spotlight), designed his speech
with a series of accusations against his former President Donald Trump
that confirmed and in some cases amplified those made by Democrats
during their multifaceted interventions.
So much so that,
listening to this elderly character, the question spontaneously arises: "But where does he want to go? On the basis of what has been
said so far, he will certainly resign from his post..."
And
instead Mitch McConnell after vigorously underscored the complete
practical and moral responsibility of his former president in the
organization, incitement, support of the thousands of domestic
terrorists who on January 6 "conquered" with violence and bloodshed
Capitol Hill (even chasing Republican Vice President Mike Pense and
house speaker Pelosi to kill them) took refuge in the corner.
Entrenched
behind a literal interpretation of the second article of the
Constitution, he concluded his speech by justifying his vote and that of
42 other Republican senators acquitting the eccentric former president.
We
are convinced that back home the president of the Republican senators
will have somehow had to clarify his attitude to his wife, a former
transportation secretary, who in the final weeks of the Trump presidency
had found the courage to present the resigning evidence from a
government now in disarray.
The singular speech of this important
Republican figure then ended by arguing that in the face of the
Senate's inability to convict Donald Trump because the 57 'yea' were
not enough to reach three-quarters of the entire Senate, however the
ordinary judicial system could have put him on trial as a normal
citizen.
And automatically there came to mind that Pontius
Pilate, prefect of the Roman province of Judea who in the Gospel of
Matthew when, faced with the drama of Jesus, washes his hands of it in
front of the crowd saying: "I am not responsible for this blood; see it
for you!".
Here: it was not a nice to see the closure of a page
that you call historic considering that
on January 6, 2021 the United States of America ran the risk of a coup
organized and incited by its president.
But the Senate acquittal
does not shield American democracy from a further attempt at violent
upheaval to turn it into an autocracy with only one man in charge and
above the law.
Donald's already working on it, thanks to Mitch McConnell and 42 other Republican colleagues.
