Acquitted. Not removed. Or exonerated.

The Senate, pretty much along party lines (Mitt Romney of Utah voted with the Democrats), voted today, Wednesday, February 5, 2020 (Black History Month, by the way) to acquit Pres. Donald J. Trump of both Articles of Impeachment: 

1) Abuse of Power (soliciting a foreign power -- the Ukraine -- to interfere in 2020 elections by investigating Joe & Hunter Biden), and
2) Obstruction of Congress (by not providing documents or witnesses) 

Keep in mind, though, that he's still been impeached.  The Senate voted to acquit him of those charges, but he is not exonerated, meaning, he's still guilty.  That part will never change.

And what, if anything, did Donald Trump learn from this move by the Senate?  He learned, rather quickly, that he can pretty much say/do anything he wants and there are no consequences for those words or actions.
It's pretty naive for even one Republican to suggest that, "...he's learned his lesson."  No. No, he hasn't. 

And why won't Mitch address Trump's conduct?  Simple, he needs Daddy to help him get re-elected later in 2020 in his Senate race in Kentucky.  Very simple.
Stay tuned...
