NO "EVIDENCE, NO "TRIAL"
THE SEVEN HOUSE MANAGERS FATALLY ERRED BY BOLDLY ASSERTING IN THEIR SENATE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL'S OPENING STATEMENT AGAINST PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP, THAT THERE WAS "ALREADY OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE." AGAINST HIM TO PROVE BOTH COUNTS OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL INDICTMENT. THAT IS BECAUSE LEGAL "EVIDENCE" IS ADDUCED ONLY AT TRIAL, BY WITNESSES, DOCUMENTS, OTHER EXHIBITS. LEGAL EVIDENCE IS NEVER "EVIDENCE" BEFORE TRIAL, NOR BEFORE SENATE TRIAL OF PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT. THERE HAVING BEEN NO EVIDENCE ADDUCED AT TRIAL, THERE WAS, NO "TRIAL", JUST POLITICAL HISTRIONICS.
