Hi,
Could someone explain this to a guy from the UK please? Is the impeachment trial a legal examination of facts known and a decision made on whether the law was broken? Or some political system decision? I don't understand how it is a foregone conclusion that the President will be found not guilty by default because of the politics (and numbers of republicans) of the legal minds presiding?
Is this true? Can people get into legal hot water for making political decisions where the law would indicate otherwise?
Bit confused.
