What to watch on Day 5 of Trump's impeachment trial (Saturday)
The Hill ^ | 01/25/2020 | The Hill

Posted on 01/25/2020 9:44:42 AM PST by aimhigh

President Trump’s legal team gets its first crack at defending the president Saturday in a truncated Senate session before a more fulsome presentation on Monday.

The Senate is scheduled to convene at 10 a.m., and Trump’s attorneys are expected to argue their case for no more than three hours. Members of the legal team insisted the abbreviated schedule was agreed to in order to accommodate senators’ schedules, though it is also likely meant to satisfy Trump, who bemoaned that the public might tune from impeachment coverage out over the weekend.

I'm blown away. The working public finally gets a chance to watch, and the Trump team goes into hiding. The Republicans finally get a chance to lay out their arguments for the Sunday talk shows, and the Trump team goes silent. Whoever is running this show is crazy.

Here's another quote from the article:
"The shortened schedule on Saturday will also allow the handful of senators who are seeking the Democratic presidential nomination to travel to Iowa for campaign events roughly a week before the state’s Feb. 3 caucuses."

Who is the Trump team working for?

You didn’t watch any of today’s proceedings or even follow any news reports from yesterday, did you? You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

Hard to grasp what hearing you were watching; but the only reason why they won’t show anything from today’s proceeding tomorrow is that there was absolutely no good news nor anything they can even twist into good news to show, It was a 100% blow out and sets up Monday as a big finish to this attempted coup.

For those of us on the west coast, the proceedings were over before we had a chance to watch.

The Democrat House managers seriously damaged their case by using their full 24 hours to drone on endlessly and repetitively for 24 hours over three days. Even the Democrats in the Senate were bored out of their minds.

You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Go back to sleep.

Then watch a replay of it instead of posting and reacting to a media report about “what to expect” ... which was posted BEFORE the proceedings were held.

If I could find a replay, I'd watch it. But the only thing on TV are the Democratic responses. CSPAN is now dedicated to the Democrat responses.

The expert presenters dismantled the soppy drama-queen performance of the moron Democratsin slightly under two hours this morning. It was well worth getting up on a Saturday morning to watch. If you didn’t, don’t comment.

OH MY GOSH!

I Adam Schiff and the crew going to retry the case after every day of the defense team? He’s been grinding on for over 10 minutes, and there are four other managers waiting to speak.

It’s already posted on YouTube. No offense, but please get your head on straight and think clearly before posting emotional rants here that have no basis in reality.
