Hillary Clinton says she wasn’t surprised that the Senate voted to acquit President Trump in his impeachment trial — but was nonetheless disappointed more Republicans didn’t vote to remove him from office.

So now it’s voters who are going to have to say, ’OK, I have to take responsibility for this and follow Mitt Romney’s lead.’”
