They won't let him in. The best he'll get is outside the fence, but he will be greeted warmly by the NG troops!

The impeachment managers from the Democrat House, along with co-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, seem convinced that a Senate “trial” will dispatch Donald Trump from the American scene.
Not so fast….
The first three days of the “trial” will highlight House managers arguing that former president Trump “incited violence” at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Which was preceded for weeks when “he [Trump] reiterated false claims that ‘we won this election, and we won it by a landslide’… false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American people or certified by State or Federal Officials…
SNIP
Then the fireworks on the Senate floor will begin.
Because the Senate “trial” is an extra-constitutional exhibition, it has no authority or binding power. Trump as reality TV show celebrity, with neither constraints, nor fears of the outcome, will be free to present his case in any manner, form, or construct that he chooses -- having no downside consequences.
SNIP
And so, Trump is playing with “house” money. It doesn’t matter if he infuriates RINO senators who abandon their earlier position that a former president can be neither impeached by the House nor tried by the Senate. A “conviction” will be a meaningless resolution, in the form of the “sense of the Senate.” Trump can walk away with tens of millions of followers and future voters in tow, with Democrats’ veins a-bursting, and RINO hair afire.
Trump will enjoy an entertaining day — or days — on the floor of the US Senate, knowing he can vindicate those tens of millions of loyal voters who are deeply skeptical of Biden’s legitimacy

I hope Trump does not listen to his weak kneed lawyers, trembling over fear of disbarment.
The dems will present their case. Trump will not be allowed to present his side.
Dems will present one person who will claim to have been incited to insurrection by Trump’s rhetoric. Case closed, kangaroo court convicts.
I hope they don’t have the votes to convict. And he gets to show all the evidence of fraud and ask them to show anything in his speech to incite violence. Maybe he has new evidence of the fraud and he brings it out during the trial.
No, Trump will not be free to argue what he wants. Roberts wouldn’t let people say certain names or ask certain things. Think a Democrat senator would give him MORE leeway?
This was a coup and we are beyond normal.
you bet.
For the simple reason that the author even uses as the reason this ridiculous charade “will be good for Trump”. It’s an extra constitutional little romp in the sandbox for the government / media complex and since it legally means exactly ZERO - Trump won’t even be allowed to speak. Trump and his legal team will probably not even be allowed within 50 miles of the Capitol ( due to the fake “virus “
Just like operation Valkyrie, the conspirators had to control the narrative. They will no war allow Trump a defense. This trial is propaganda, not a rap trial.
The answer is right in front of our face. Trump was deposed and stripped of powers January 7th. Pence was acting president in all but name. They concealed that fact from us to keep the lid on. That’s why soldiers were in the streets, Trump was silenced, no pardons of consequence came out, no release of swamp secrets, etc. It’s why communications were seized and Trumps communications were cut off. The soldiers in the streets were dupes and unaware just as the German home Army was unaware they were being used in Von Staffenburgs coup.
This was operation Valkyrie. It is in mopping up phase now.
My hope is that we, the America First people who voted for President Trump and love this nation and the world, see who all the anti-American anti-Christian anti-Constitution senators are. They’ll have no choice but to expose themselves in this sham as they embark on their planned oppression and disenfranchising of us all as a categorical group.

Interesting suggestion...they may just do it virtually. Easy to just mute them.
Those reps and sens are indeed above the law, now aren't they? Hmm, I wonder if they could get away with murder too?
Let’s be serious here. The left is dumb struck with hate because Trump damn near put them a in jail, they cant see straight and want to embarrass Trump, but, Lindsay and mitch both dont want Trump exposing election fraud in Front of 80 million viewers! Lindsay and Mitch are the lefts best friends right now.
Isn’t it interesting that a POTUS can be impeached frivolously but US Reps and Sens can blatantly violate the Constitution and their oath of office and nothing can be done to oust them except the ‘next election’???
Next election? Dominion decides the winner.
Reality: Good people are treated as villains. Bad people are praised as heroes.

“ Dems will present one person who will claim to have been incited to insurrection by Trump’s rhetoric. Case closed, kangaroo court convicts.”
Nope. If the Dems bring as much as one witness the show is on. Trump’s team can call as many witnesses as they want. Please Dems, call a witness. Get the Viking hat dude. He’d be great.
Theyll have no choice but to let him present his side if they want to frame it as a “trial”. They are presenting their “case” everyday in the court of public opinion and thats all this charade is about, now Trump will get his chance.
Trump is responsible for bringing the troops to Washington. The military is there to protect the constitution and us not the Biden admin or Congress.
This impeachment is just another act in Trump’s plan to bring down the deep state. Relax and enjoy it. Things are going to start moving a lot faster.
bkmk
To prove what? The charge is inciting insurrection. Proving election fraud does not excuse sedition; being off topic, will be disallowed. “Trump’s rhetoric inspired me to insurrection” is enough to convict per kangaroo court rules.
Excrement a la bovine!!! If the massive election fraud didn’t bring down the deep state nothing will! Practice the mandarin language! You are going to be needing it.
