As Trump's own impeachment lawyer (accidentally) pointed out, the DOJ can indict him NOW
43 GQP co-conspirators have ensured their place in US political history. They allowed Trump to turn the US into a banana republic.
To prevent Trump from holding office again, a simple majority of Congress must now pass a resolution invoking Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars anyone from holding office who has "engaged in insurrection" against the United States.

I think it’s time to decide whether we’re going to refrain from doing things because Trumpists will kill people and their GOP fluffers and apologists will shrug, because the list of things we can’t do under that approach is expanding. https://t.co/qj2XKCR9NK

Hitler incited an insurrection. It failed. The next one succeeded.
Trump incited an insurrection. It failed. The GOP has high hopes for the next one.
