Washington Post editorial: It’s not over. Congress must continue to hold Trump accountable.
SOME OF the senators who voted to acquit President Trump on abuse-of-power and obstruction-of-Congress charges Wednesday claimed he had surely been chastened by his impeachment by the House of Representatives. We suspect they know better. Not only is Mr. Trump brazenly unrepentant for his attempt to extort Ukraine’s help for his reelection, but also he is likely to take the Senate’s vote as vindication and license for further improper actions. That makes it incumbent upon responsible members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, to do what they can to protect the integrity of the November election, as well as that of the Constitution.
