Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE

[dowcaet]

Both Cipollone and Jay Sekulow are doing a number on Schiff. This entire trial is totally unnecessary, but the more it goes on the worse the Democrats will look.

[RoseofTexas]

😳WTH?!! The trial has been extended from 2days to 3?! Toldja this was not going to a walk through the park!! Be ready for many more evil surprises along the way! Gotta say I for one WILL NOT BE TUNING in to this sham of a circus trial,..I even HATE TO CALL IT THAT!!! God will have the last laugh!!! God bless our president and America..LET TRUTH ARISE!!!

[bigbob]

Sekulow and Cipollone did an excellent job. Any Dem senator sitting there should feel about an inch tall when they even think about voting in favor.

I will not watch The Schumer.

[JerseyDvl]

I could listen to Pat and Jay all day long. I’ve been waiting so long for the president to have a voice.

Asking for additional discovery on the day of trial is unprecedented. Roberts needs to deny this request immediately. This is a trial not a preliminary hearing.

Wide view of the chamber. Defense on the right side has their paperwork all neat and tidy. Prosecution on the left, not so much.

Also, Robert's needs to call Schiff out of order when he shows video snippets of Trump taken out of context for the sole purpose to deceive the jurors.

I’ve seen Jay Sekulow on TV and heard him on the radio and in the past he sounded much better than today.

[politicket]

Pat and Jay are like professors in a classroom of kids - teaching Constitutional law.

They are absolutely shredding the Demon-rats!

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Katie Pavlich just said that Mazie Hirono (D-HI) is frustrated at the House impeachment proceedings and results.

[lodi90]

McConnell already caving to Dems on evidence allowed and duration of opening statements. What a doormat.

[politicket]

...in the past he sounded much better than today

Jay is getting warmed up. He still decimated the opposition in his remarks.

[Lakeside Granny]

Don’t know if I can stand to watch with Pencil-neck spewing the same old same old lies.

He showed a couple of video clips of the President, of course, he cut them off to have the meaning he wanted them to portray.

Especially the one at the rally where President says Article 2 says he can do whatever he wants.

The POS wants us to think it means break the law but that is not what Trump was getting at.

[Salamander]

Did he do that, really??

[1Old Pro]

I’ve seen Jay Sekulow on TV and heard him on the radio and in the past he sounded much better than today.

Agreed, he was "average", hope he steps up his game. Good thing Schiff has ZERO.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Do you live in La Plata, MD?

[Salamander]

Me either.

I get tension migraines.

These idiots would put me in the ER.

That was out of order, Robert's should have reprimanded him. I hope Mitch is taking him to the woodshed during this 15 minute break.

[EVO X]

Ditto Schiff. Cipollone and Sekulow had good opening statements and appeared to make their case without reading a transcript. Schiff was reading his the whole time..
