I'm wondering if the concept of double jeopardy applies in the case of Trump's second impeachment trial. It seems obvious to me that the current Senate is not an impartial jury. If he were acquitted by the Senate, could he still be charged by the Justice Department for inciting an insurrection (or on other charges) and tried in the Federal court system?
