Despite talking for 24 hours in the Senate impeachment trial, Democrats failed to mention key evidence, because they know facts arent on the side, President Donald Trump defense attorney said in opening statements Saturday as Trumps defense began arguments.
Cipollone promised that Trumps attorneys would present the evidence that Democrats omitted, and said that those watching should ask: Why am I just hearing about this now, after 24 hours of sitting through arguments?:
The fact that they came here, for 24 hours, and hid evidence from you, is further evidence that they dont really believe in the facts of their case.
White House Counsel Pat Cipollone: "Today, we are going to confront them on the merits of their argument. Now they have the burden of proof and they have not come close to meeting it."

The Democrats not President Trump are actually the ones trying to perpetrate the most massive interference in an election in American history, Cipollone said:
That this is, for all their talk about election interference, that theyre here to perpetrate the most massive interference in an election in American history. And, we cannot allow that to happen.
It would violate our constitution. It would violate our history. It would violate our obligations to the future. And, most importantly, it would violate the sacred trust the American people have placed in you and have place in them.
The American people decide elections.
WOW! The D’s did the WORST possible job ever!
No fairness or due process in their investigations, denying PDJT and House Republicans ANY
opportunities to present evidence or rebut witnesses, etc. A complete and total screw job.. of Trump, of our Constitutional process, and of their own “investigation!”
Then they cock up two totally NON-impeachable “charges.” Should be dismissed on their face, totally poppy-cock.
and NOW they Present their “charges” in a most rude manner, alienating Senators (jurors) with actual insults and rude behavior.
We are hoping the Senate dismisses these patently bogus (and Unconstitutional) charges, quickly!
There will be plenty of time for Team Trump to “rebut” and to “go on the offensive” (Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein corruption, etc)
The Senate needs to get back to work (including filling more judicial vacancies with good appointees). And the House can GTH!
I wish he would amp it up a bit. He said a lot of things that deserved a more powerful delivery, in my opinion. It was almost like reading it instead of watching and hearing it. Sekulow is better at this.
Once Barry got elected it was always and forever supposed to the the Democrat’s turn, and no one but the bad people, we Deplorables, would ever oppose them ever again.
Trump obstructed the Left’s Just-Us ... what more should they need?
And we are obstructing their Just-Us too ... if you think they’ve been bonkers and hostile the last three years just wait till November.
To quote one of the old men in the balcony on The Muppet Show: It was short; I loved it.
The tall attorney who explained why they didn’t respond to supbpoenas was a sleeper, but it was a good start for the rest of them.
Well said.
The 24 hours used in the Senate by the Dems was one of, if not the biggest farces ever pulled off on the Senate floor.
Let’s get back to business, especially confirming judges.
I actually thought the opposite. Cippilone was awesome for me. He was low key but he absolutely nailed Schiff Sekulow was on point too. But I liked Cippilones approach.
That sounds like a GREAT opening statement!

The Presidents team did great against democrat managers so called evidence of articles of fake impeachment!
[[WOW! The Ds did the WORST possible job ever!]]
hey hey hey=- haven’t you been paying attention? Adam Schiff was brilliant. passionate, patriotic, on point, factual, inspired, illuminated, divine, intelligent, undeterred, uncompromised, bipartisan, blah blah blah
Just ask the msm, they’ll tell you
Agreed. Plus I think the American people want the House to start doing its job, too, by at least proposing bills that address important issues and problems (the massive enemy Islamic infiltration into USA along with Mexican drug gangs, etc), homelessness ( albeit properly a state concern, perhaps theres something the feds can contribute) , the dangerous new Chinese virus ( USA colleges are still recruiting Chinese students thousands at a time. USA corporations are still importing thousands of workers from communist China to take American jobs, And Chinese tourists are still flying into airports all across america - perhaps a temporary suspension at least?)
Hit piece from sort of MSM
Makes me wonder how they typed all that up so fast.
Bastards
I was interested in what he had to say. His presentation was the problem.
“I wish he would amp it up a bit.”
It’ll be fine.
“Speak softly and carry a big stick”-Theodore Roosevelt
Trump’s defense team, in 2 hours presented the FACTS..for 3 days the Dems presented BS, that is the difference
I guess this is where the honorable confront the treacherous. If there is fairness in this world, the good guys should win.
The Dems are all LIARS!
The FBI has lost all integrity and is against any kind of honest uprightness and moral trustworthiness as was pointed out by the recent FISA court statements on FBI.
This Swamp is much deeper than the American people realize.
What a total disgrace!
I wonder if Sen. Pierre Delecto and the Abortion Twins are still stroking thier chins as they thoughtfully attempt to discern the truth.
