And he, in effect, was able to have it both ways,” Jones told King. “He doesn’t do anything in which it’s not calculated, and he knew if he delayed this, if he delayed the trial until after the president left office, that his caucus could have it both ways.” (RELATED: ‘An Absurd Deflection’: McConnell Accuses Trump Allies Of Using 74 Million Voters ‘As A Human Shield) The Senate voted 57-43 over convicting the former president during his Saturday impeachment trial, but fell short of the 67 Senate vote threshold needed for conviction.
