A liberal group on Wednesday filed a lawsuit to bar former President Donald Trump from the primary ballot in Colorado, arguing he is ineligible to run for the White House again under a rarely used clause in the U.S. Constitution aimed at candidates who have supported an “insurrection.”
That’s the indictment, the conviction needed to happen in the Senate and that didn’t happen.
It’s the equivalent of Jack Smith indicting Trump on 4 felony counts, if the jury fails to convict, it doesn’t mean anything.
