The intellectual dishonesty and factual vacuity put forth by the House Managers in their
trial memorandum only serve to further punctuate the point that this impeachment proceeding was
4
neveraboutseekingjustice. Instead,thiswasonlyeveraselfishattemptbyDemocraticleadership
in the House to prey upon the feelings of horror and confusion that fell upon all Americans across the entire political spectrum upon seeing the destruction at the Capitol on January 6 by a few hundred people. Instead of acting to heal the nation, or at the very least focusing on prosecuting the lawbreakers who stormed the Capitol, the Speaker of the House and her allies have tried to callously harness the chaos of the moment for their own political gain.
