Trump was not found innocent. He simply was not convicted and removed.
Prosecution? Oh wait, he was found innocent/not guilty in the only Senate action that counts.

You just listed the only Republicans with just a bit of character, out of all of them. It's a tiny fraction of the whole corrupt party.Oh wait do you mean THIS Senate and THESE Senators (and Reps, too)?
Sen Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said Friday she attributes the violence at the Capitol to Trump, and that, “I want him to resign. I want him out. He has caused enough damage,” even hinting at a defection from the GOP if it continues in its current pro-Trump direction.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said in a CBS News interview Friday he “will definitely consider whatever articles [of impeachment]” pass the House of Representatives because Trump has “disregarded his oath of office.”
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said in a Fox News interview Saturday that he believes Trump “committed impeachable offenses”.
Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.), a member of the conservative Republican Study Committee, said in a radio interview Friday that Trump should “effectively resign” and “technically [find] a way to hand over the keys to Pence,” while stopping short of advocating his impeachment.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), an outspoken critic of Trump’s election conspiracy theories, was the first GOP member of Congress to call for Trump’s removal on Thursday, calling Trump “unfit” and “unwell” and urging Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to remove him through the 25th Amendment.
Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio) said Thursday he “would not oppose” the Cabinet invoking the 25th Amendment, adding that Trump should be “held accountable” for his role in the attack.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy) said “Everything that followed was his doing,” she said. “None of this would have happened without the president. I will vote to impeach the president.”
Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) said "I have backed this President through thick and thin for four years. I campaigned for him and voted for him twice. But, this utter failure is inexcusable." “I can’t imagine another president in my lifetime that would not have tried to intervene there, would not have tried to say, ‘Hey, this needs to stop, and you need to go home,’” Rice told AP. “For him to sit there and watch TV, and watch these policemen being beaten up, and the Capitol being stormed, and not to be very aggressive about … getting out there and trying to speak to these people himself, is just beyond my imagination.”
Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wa) said "The mob was inflamed by the language and misinformation of the President of the United States. ... A vote against impeachment is a vote to validate unacceptable violence" and "to condone President Trump's inaction."
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio) said Trump "helped organize and incite a mob that attacked the United States Congress in an attempt to prevent us from completing our solemn duties as prescribed by the Constitution." He added that during the attack, Trump "abandoned his post ... thus further endangering all present."
Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mi) said he would have preferred a bipartisan censure that would interfere with the business of the next administration, "but," he said, "it is time to say enough is enough." He also cited Trump's efforts "to impede the peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next."
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wa) declared on the House floor of her vote in favor of impeachment: "I'm not choosing sides, I'm choosing truth."
Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mi) said Trump showed no "courage" and "betrayed millions with claims of a 'stolen election.'" He added, "The one man who could have restored order, prevented the deaths of five Americans including a Capitol police officer, and avoided the desecration of our Capitol, shrank from leadership when our country needed it most."
Rep. John Katko (R-Ny) said of Trump: "It cannot be ignored that President Trump encouraged this insurrection." He also noted that as the riot was happening, Trump "refused to call it off, putting countless lives in danger."
Rep. David Valadao (R-Ca) said: "President Trump was, without question, a driving force in the catastrophic events that took place on January 6." He added, "His inciting rhetoric was un-American, abhorrent, and absolutely an impeachable offense."

So ............ not guilty. Thank you.Trump was not found innocent. He simply was not convicted and removed.
Self-confirming stupidity is not a strong argument, clown.So ............ not guilty. Thank you.
You mean the vote that was based on political bias and not the evidence? An impeachment trial is 100% political, nothing more. You don't seem to grasp that, which is why his acquittal seems like a big deal to you.What was the final vote ? You know the one that found him not guilty ?
The only Senate vote that counts.You mean the vote that was based on political bias and not the evidence?
Do you even remember the attempts to force President Trump out of office before he was ever sworn in ? Or the attempts to impeach him before he ever took office ?
Electoral college certifications? Those too. You always pretend it's just one side...... and it never is.Trump Impeachment Talk Started Before He Was Even Nominated
Months before Donald Trump was even nominated for president at the Republican National Convention, the possibility of impeaching President Trump was already being floated in political circles.dailycaller.com
They were found guilty of that very thing in court in North Carolina. No other party engages in racist gerrymandering according to the courts.Every left wing publication that writes about Republicans accuses them of racism and voter suppression.
The citizens of Florida voted on Amendment 4 made the decision by 65% to restore voting rights of felons who have served their time.It depends on the crime committed and if the time has been served completely. I would leave it up to the States to make the decision for themselves as long as adequate safeguards are in place.
"A majority of Democrats and non-white voters support requiring voters to present photo identification in order to cast a ballot, according to a Monmouth University Polling Institute survey released on Monday."
Face it, not only is voter id not any type of voter suppression, it's favored by a huge margin....... so stop fucking lying about it.
That's bullshit, what new laws are Republicans proposing that are "stripping away the right to vote from millions of legal Americans" ???
Lawful audits is another thread.
and seriously "then Republicans are planning a violent civil war" ???
Looney Tunes territory there.
What was the final vote ? You know the one that found him not guilty ?
Democracy without limits is a very bad thing. Give people the right to vote for whatever they want and they'll do it. Sometimes that works out, often times is doesn't.This all isn’t complicated. Conservatives want America to look a certain way and liberals want it to look a different way.
When liberals don’t get what they want well, they are used to it so it’s not that big a deal. They also see society moving in their direction so it’s okay to wait.
When conservatives don’t get what they want they not only aren’t used to it, they (correctly) see the tide of history moving against them. They don’t view democracy as an independent virtue, they view it as the vehicle for their destruction. This is why starting in the mid-2000’s you started seeing conservative thought trend towards ‘actually democracy is bad’ and how that’s accelerated in the last 5-6 years. Democracy is only valuable to get them what they want. When it doesn’t they cast it aside.
Right but who has ever argued for democracy without limits? The majority shouldn't ALWAYS get what it wants in a democracy, but it should generally do so.Democracy without limits is a very bad thing. Give people the right to vote for whatever they want and they'll do it. Sometimes that works out, often times is doesn't.
So Bill Clinton did not lie about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky?So ............ not guilty. Thank you.
Yep, we're all assholes because we think criminals, rapists, murderers, child molesters and muggers should actually be punished and not given rewards for the crimes they commit.
Unlike Democrats that want them to be bailed out, back on the streets to commit more crimes.
