We took a chance that House Democrats were going to send the Article of Impeachment to the Senate this week. We were wrong. Instead, the its Article of Impeachment charging former President Trump with "incitement of insurrection" to the Senate on Monday.

Why should the House when more than a dozen Republican senators are the impeachment trial before it begins, based on the disputed claim that it's unconstitutional to try an ex-president. And House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is already his prior claim that Trump incited the riot at the Capitol.

We talk about proving "incitement" and the fashion legacy of Trump. We also bring you factoids with Chion Wolf and our first second-season AccuFrankie dispatch from reporter Frankie Graziano.

Vanessa Friedman - Fashion director for The New York Times
Frankie Graziano - A reporter for 黑料吃瓜网 Radio
Catherine J. Ross - Professor of law at the George Washington University Law School and the author of a forthcoming book, Presidential Lies, The First Amendment, and Democracy
Chion Wolf - The host of on 黑料吃瓜网 Radio
