The impeachment trial of Donald Trump is more than an effort to convict the former president of inciting an insurrection. It's a chance for a public accounting and remembrance of the worst attack on the U.S. Capitol in 200 years.In the month since the Jan. 6 siege by a pro-Trump mob, encouraged by his call to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�fight like hell바카라 게임 웹사이트� to overturn the election, defenders of the former president say it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s time to move on.Trump is long gone, ensconced at his Mar-a-Lago club, and Democrat Joe Biden is the new president in the White House. With the trial set to begin Tuesday, and a supermajority of senators unlikely to convict him on the single charge, the question arises: Why bother?Yet for many lawmakers who were witnesses, onlookers and survivors of that bloody day, it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s not over.One by one, lawmakers have begun sharing personal accounts of their experiences of that harrowing afternoon. Some were in the Capitol fleeing for safety, while others watched in disbelief from adjacent offices. They tell of hiding behind doors, arming themselves with office supplies and fearing for their lives as the rioters stalked the halls, pursued political leaders and trashed the domed icon of democracy.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I never imagined what was coming,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., recounted in a speech on the House floor.Memory is a powerful tool, and their remembrances, alongside the impeachment proceedings, will preserve a public record of the attack for the Congressional Record. Five people died and more than 100 people have been arrested in a nationwide FBI roundup of alleged ringleaders and participants, a dragnet unlike many in recent times. While that is sufficient for some, assured the perpetrators will be brought to justice, others say the trial will force Congress, and the country, to consider accountability.Todd Shaw, an associate professor at the University of South Carolina, said the founders envisioned a check on the presidency and the trial provides a moment that will demarcate whether American democracy makes a course correction and says 바카라 게임 웹사이트�things have gone too far바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트� or not, he said.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We바카라 게임 웹사이트�re in a period where a lot of Americans are very aware of that question,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said.Defenders of the former president are casting doubt over the legality of the impeachment trial, the rationale for punishing an elected official no longer in office and the political fallout of preventing him from being elected again.Even Republican critics of Trump, who watched in horror as he encouraged a rally mob outside the White House to make its way to the Capitol, have cooled their outrage with the passage of time and as the reality of Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s enduring hold on the party takes shape.Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who was among those leading Trump's charge to challenge Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트�s election, mocked the Senate impeachment case as a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�show trial바카라 게임 웹사이트� and waste of time. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s time to move on,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said.But Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a former prosecutor, said a trial can have a lasting effect of informing the public, regardless of the verdict or outcome."A public trial serves a vital purpose," he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�What Donald Trump mobilized and emboldened and incited is an expression of domestic terrorism that the public needs to see and understand.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Several lawmakers stood before the House late Thursday and shared their remembrances: seeing the crowds gather outside the Capitol grounds and hearing the taunts, screams and glass breaking down the halls.And then 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the feeling,바카라 게임 웹사이트� as Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., put it, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�of being trapped.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The House and Senate had been tallying the Electoral College vote certifying Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트�s election victory when Trump, who had refused to concede, encouraged his supporters to head to the Capitol.Phillips said that, as he heard the screams inside the building, he realized a pencil was about all he had for defense. He thought about moving over to the Republican side of the House chamber 바카라 게임 웹사이트�so we could blend in.바카라 게임 웹사이트� He and others believed the rioters would 바카라 게임 웹사이트�spare us if they simply mistook us for Republicans.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Then, he said, he realized something 바카라 게임 웹사이트� for his colleagues who are not white like he is, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�blending in was not an option.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said the thousands of personal stories from that day, one 바카라 게임 웹사이트�just as valid and important as the other,바카라 게임 웹사이트� need to be told at a time when some are trying to minimize what happened. She herself faced detractors who criticized her account as exaggerated.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has asked lawmakers to consider compiling their experiences in essays.Pelosi led Democrats in impeaching Trump, the only president twice impeached, and the first in history to face trial after leaving office.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Why bother? Why bother?바카라 게임 웹사이트� Pelosi asked. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Ask our founders why bother. Ask those who wrote the Constitution. Ask Abraham Lincoln.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Pelosi said the House impeachment managers will make their case and 바카라 게임 웹사이트�we바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll see if it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s going to be a Senate of courage or cowardice.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Walking into the Capitol, it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a changed place. Outside, razor wire tops tall fences surrounding an extended perimeter, even blocking off the nation바카라 게임 웹사이트�s bookshelves at the Library of Congress.Inside, National Guard troops armed with long rifles patrol the marbled halls day and night, some stopping to snap photos of the ornate statues and symbols of the nation's history.While the building hums with familiar sights and sounds, the coffee brewing in the basement cafeteria, there is also a new normal. Broken glass remains on some windows, which some want preserved as a reminder. Posters and handwritten notes thanking Capitol Police officers adorn a basement tunnel.Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., said in a speech that the attack against the Capitol was an attack on the constituents the lawmakers represent.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are their voices here,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We must not sweep this under the rug.바카라 게임 웹사이트�___Associated Press writer Mary Clare Jalonick in Washington contributed to this report.
