Clear threat to filibuster/obstruct from Grassley here, if we hold Trump accountable for a violent insurrection.
The goal is to prevent an insurrectionist President from holding federal office again, and demonstrate zero tolerance for this in the future, genius. <a href="https://t.co/gOpQSvy3ne">https://t.co/gOpQSvy3ne</a><br/>

Why don't you unify against enablers of the mob who threatened to kill your colleagues, including the vice-president? This is not complicated. Unifying against people who encouraged a mob to kill your coworkers and destroy our Capitol should be the easiest decision of your life.<br/>

Impeachment and unity are entirely consistent, Chuck. Exercising due process on fascist agitants is how you get rid of other fascist agitants sowing discord.
