would love to see some speculation as to why he refused. my thoughts are that Roberts realizes that any Impeachment is a trap and Trump benefits no mater what the outcome.

Of the president, yes, but Trump is no longer the sitting president, although he is being impeached in relation to actions while president. It's a genuinely unusual situation with no precedent.
Actually it isn't. There was a post here yesterday or the day before talking about how congress could no longer impeach an individual because they were no longer an officer of the government, irregardless of their actions whilst serving as an officer of the government.
Actually it isn’t what? Unprecedented?
Correct. There is a legal precedent for the impeachment of a former official to be discarded on the basis that they are no longer in office and therefore, the Senate no longer has the jurisdiction to impeach that former official.
It's bc of Dem spite and fear of him.
