Hillary Clinton on Wednesday claimed that if former President Donald Trump’s second Senate impeachment trial ends in his acquittal it will be because “the jury includes his co-conspirators.”
“If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won’t be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense,” Clinton said in a tweet Wednesday morning. “It will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators.”

Clinton, who served as secretary of state during the Obama administration, waded into the conversation before the second day of the trial began. House Democrats, joined by ten Republicans, voted last month to pass a single article of impeachment — “incitement of an insurrection” — against Trump after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
On the first day of the trial, the Democratic impeachment managers presented never-before-seen footage of the day’s unrest, showing how close rioters came to lawmakers as Congress met to certify President Joe Biden’s election win last month.
Democrats will attempt to pin the pro-Trump rioters’ actions on the 45th president, arguing that his rhetoric in the hours before — and in the months leading up to — the electoral-vote count on January 6 stirred up supporters and led them to storm the Capitol. The unrest left five people dead, including one Capitol Hill police officer.
Trump’s lawyers are arguing that it is unconstitutional for the Senate to hold an impeachment trial for a former president and that his rhetoric is protected by the First Amendment. They also say that he did not incite the rioting and that the House rushed to impeach Trump without offering him time to prepare a defense.
The Senate is likely to fall short of the two-thirds vote needed to convict Trump: Only six Republicans — Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania — joined their Democratic colleagues in voting to affirm the constitutionality of the trial.
Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) said Wednesday that he expects at least 44 Republican senators to acquit Trump, according to Politico.
“Everybody objects to that violence. Everybody is horrified by that violence,” he said. “But the question is: Did the president incite that?”
In the unlikely event that Trump is convicted, the Senate could then move to bar the former president from holding office going forward with a simple majority vote.

Hillary would know about co-conspirators as the whole democrat party co-conspired with her on the Russian collusion nonsense never mind her co-conspirators in federal law enforcement who conspired to hide her emails.
This old has been needs to stay out this especially when there are so many crimes that she has committed but was never held accountable for. One could say that it was because the “jury” includes her “co-conspirators”, and by jury I mean people like Comey , and organizations like the FBI, the CIA, and the Democrats who either ignored or helped her evade prosecution for her crimes, and the entire Washington Deep State.
Hillary is the last person to criticize anyone on any alleged wrongdoings.
Hillary should be hung on tv for the whole world to watch until her carcass rots.
The reason Hillary Clinton is not making those comments through bars is because of her co-conspirators so what’s she complaining about?
Hillary should be in jail, what a Low Life.
If anyone would know about conspirators it would be Hillary.
Hillary is so full of ship she has it spouting out of every big orifice on her body! She could fill a sewer complex in less than a minute. Never listen to that clown as she is probably where the T.P shortage originated!!!!
Before blaming others of crimes of high crimes against our country people like Clinton, pelosi,shumer,AOC,waters ,Obama and others in the government should have to pay for their own crimes against this country and it’s people. They have all betrayed the people and instigated riots and hate and distrust among the people of this country. You should all be impeached for treason. If you aren’t a part of the solution then you are a part of the problem.
She certainly is a subject matter expert when it comes to getting away with murder.
So she’s still hanging around trying to look like someone that America cares about?
If anyone knows about conspiring it’s this “has been” called Hillary.
Actually she’s a “never was”.
If I were a senator, after the impeachment trial was over and Trump was acquitted, I would sue that p.o.s. hag for slander.
In her case, the PROSECUTOR was a co-conspirator.
I think the only answer we should all have HILLARY WHO????
