The Senate this afternoon acquitted President Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The House, after a long and bitter prosecution, failed to win even a majority of the solons on either count. Fifty-two senators voted not guilty on the first count and 53 not guilty on the second — a breathtaking rebuke of the House of Representatives’ decision to levy charges against the President on a strictly party-line vote. A two-thirds majority would have been required for conviction.
