SENATE INTEL CONCLUDES TRUMP HIRED AN AGENT OF RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE TO RUN HIS 2016 CAMPAIGN.
Or perhaps it's quicker to say it was never Trump's choice. He's owned by Putin. So Putin picked the GOP employees with whom to attack us.
Trump lawyers: *walk into Senate with 45 votes to acquit*
[Senate trial happens, Trump lawyers do such a bad job that they lose two more Republican votes to produce the most bipartisan conviction vote of all time]
Trump lawyers:
My head spun when I heard the defense team lecture about the need for unity after they suggested that holding Trump accountable could lead to further violence or even civil war. Accountability for those who abuse their power is not divisive. It’s the abuse itself that’s divisive.
@FrancescaDiasio@clearing_fog *pre-approved bi-partisan trial*
Regardless of verdict; Don was impeached again, and *all* that went on in trial is on record for History. All investigations will continue... wherever they lead.
@FrancescaDiasio@clearing_fog Not necessarily. On the bright side; fewer people will now be witnessing propaganda and misinformation being amplified in such a revered venue. The only right/wrong here morally was whether to convict/acquit based on the pre-approved (trial legality was already settled).
Mitch McConnell admitted that Dems proved their case - that Trump is guilty.
They acquitted based on a sham constitutional argument, because that’s what they were going to do.
Blaming Dems for not calling witnesses is wrongheaded.
It wouldn’t have changed *anything.*
Sadists. That GQP wants the guy who literally tried to burn it down and didn’t care who died. This is where you should be channeling your disgust/outrage.
Trump attempted to seize the Presidency despite electoral defeat.
He intimidated election officials, provoked a violent assault on the Capitol, and left Congress and the Vice President to the mob.
His disgrace is total and his apologists in Congress are marked by history.
So all of you jackasses who were on here saying the Democrats folded, didn't use their power, or caved made whole asses out of yourselves. My first tweet said something failed in that recess. They ended up with the best option available to them.
Nicolle Wallace for the win. She just said she has sources that talked to her & said: The House Impeachment managers witnesses who they wanted, including the GOP rep Jaime Herrera Butler who released details of the Trump McCarthy call, went cold & refused to commit to testify.
Michael Van der Veen’s fabulous whataboutery here on a question clearly asked TWICE is final evidence he’s given up on the trial and now focussed on a show reel to secure injury lawyer roles in low budget daytime legal TV dramas.
Remember, he said 'stay peaceful' after they had already gotten violent. When they'd already brought weapons. When they'd already hurt people. What he never said was 'stop the attack.' or 'leave the Capitol immediately' - @JoaquinCastrotx
“If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.”
Yep, that's where we are as concerns trump's representation.
