Just Hammering the Point Home

Projecting like a multiplex.

 “There should be no doubt at this point that this is a president who is capable of shaking down a foreign leader for his own personal gain,” Wu told the host. “Apparently, the only people who are unable or unwilling to see this are the Senate Republicans. When this is pointed out, the threats against them are pointed out, they feign outrage.”

“If this were a normal court case, Donald Trump would be dragged before a federal judge right now to explain why his threat against a prosecutor is not a felony,” he continued. “We know the dangers of this. We have seen in October of 2018 how a deranged supporter sent out bombs to Clinton and Obama — these are not just words.”
This is not a trial, and there is no judge to appeal to.  John Roberts sits as Presiding Officer of the Senate trial, not as Chief Justice of the United States.  The Senate chamber is not a courtroom; the Senators are neither judges nor a jury.
I think they should, because the President is saying the quiet parts out loud.  Senators are not listening; the American people should.
