After a senate sham — the first impeachment (out of 17 in history: 3 presidents and 14 judges) ever to be completed with zero witnesses or documents allowed because the Republicans knew all evidence would be incriminating — Trump is most definitely NOT EXONERATED.
All potential witnesses who were willing to testify under oath (many of whom did so in the House proceedings) asserted Trump’s guilt.
All potential witnesses who asserted Trump’s innocence refused to say so under oath.
No person who is innocent blocks all eyewitnesses who could exonerate him and obstructs all evidence that could clear him.
The vote to convict was bipartisan, from senators representing 18 million more Americans than represented by the senators who voted not to convict, and even some Republicans who voted not to convict conceded that Trump was guilty of the actions he was accused of and that the actions were wrong. Some senators, from both parties, represented states where Trump had won by significant margins (Alabama, West Virginia, Nevada and Utah) and where he remains popular, but followed their consciences despite the political risks.
The bipartisan vote to convict was the first time in U.S. history in which a senator vote to convict a president from his own party.
The vote against conviction was a pure partisan party-line vote.
