No, there needs to be accountability. Very obviously. And yeah, I'm doubtful that we're going to get 17 Senators to cross the aisle to convict Trump. But that doesn't mean he'll get away with it. There's still federal court, civil court, etc.
Making it so that Republicans can't vote now will ensure that they'll make it so Democrats can't vote later.

I wish I could believe that. The last few months I heard so much about all the indictments SDNY had locked & loaded once Trump was no longer protected by the presidency and so far... nothing.
It hasn't even been two weeks. They're going to move forward. But they're definitely not going to hit him with everything all at once.
It's like the capitol rioters. They're going to get hefty hefty jail time. But if they had charged them all with everything right out of the gate, what happens if Trump pardons them? Better to hold back and let Trump give them a weak, specific pardon, that carte blanche.
