Nearly 400 Capitol Hill staffers wrote a letter to US senators begging them to convict Trump in his impeachment trial

"On January 6, 2021, our workplace was attacked by a violent mob trying to stop the electoral college vote count,"."That mob was incited by former president Donald J. Trump and his political allies, some of whom we pass every day in the hallways at work."

"As the mob smashed through Capitol Police barricades, broke doors and windows, and charged into the Capitol with body armor and weapons, many of us hid behind chairs and under desks or barricaded ourselves in offices. Others watched on TV and frantically tried to reach bosses and colleagues as they fled for their lives," the letter said.

"A Capitol Police officer — one of our co-workers who guards and greets us every day — was beaten to death," the letter said, referring to Brian Sicknick, who died from brain injuries sustained after Trump supporters beat him with a fire extinguisher. "The attack on our workplace was inspired by lies told by the former president and others about the results of the election in a baseless, months-long effort to reject votes lawfully cast by the American people," the letter said, adding that the US Constitution calls for a"shared commitment to equal justice, the rule of law, and the peaceful resolution of our differences."

Osama Bin Laden did not fly planes into any U.S. buildings.He just asked & inspired people to do it, drew money & resources to the effort, set the timing & launched the execution from afar. In what way was Donald Trump’s role in 1/6 ANY DIFFERENT?TRUMP MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

Nearly 400 Capitol Hill staffers have signed a letter urging Senators to convict Trump! I urge that those staffers GO ON STRIKE if Trump isn't convicted! Those staffers should also tell the FBI everything they know about Members of Congress who helped the rioters!

Convict all billionaires

By the way, Trump was the first US president from the last decades that didn't start a war

YET, 'republicans' continue to PLAY 'POWER' GAMES. Not interested in struggling American Families! Want 2 'negotiate' a 'trump republican' CONSPIRACY THEORIST coddling domestic terrorists, mobs/rioters/killers, Racists, Bigots, White Supremacists? NO WAY!

Constitution takes precedence not the will of the Senate only. But good luck cuz Black folks lose either way without federal Reparations ! So impeachment not so important right now!
