Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton branded Republican senators who refused to vote to convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial as "co-conspirators."
Clinton wrote in a tweet on Wednesday:
“If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won’t be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense."
If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won't be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense. It will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators.

“It will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators.”
Clinton later retweeted the video presented by lead House impeachment manager Democrat Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin.
“As Rep. Jamie Raskin said of Donald Trump inciting an insurrection as president: ‘If that’s not an impeachable offense, there is no such thing,’” Clinton’s retweet read.

Cassidy only recently reversed course after not supporting Trump's impeachment.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has revealed that the "not guilty" vote is growing the Senate after Democrats presented a "liberal Democratic novel" as "evidence" during President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
He described the proceedings as "beyond bizarre" and called Democrats' arguments "looney tunes."
"This is not evidence," Graham declared.
"I think most Republicans found the presentation by the House managers offensive and absurd."
"We all know what happened at the Capitol was terrible."
"I hope everybody involved that broke into the Capitol goes to jail," he asserted.
