WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers are rebutting the case made by House impeachment managers as they take their turn to present arguments on day four of his trial.

The former president’s defense team has 16 hours to make their case but lead impeachment lawyer David Shoen said they would likely only use three to four hours to present their arguments.

Actually worrying about the networks is fruitless......those who needed to hear were sitting in that room and those not will hear soon enough all that needed to be heard.

-- Or not adhering to their oath of office. --

The oath has no force of law. It's basically a sham.

WOWOWOWOWO!...Great wrap!

I agree and Trump will be acquitted.

However, nearly every Democrat will vote for conviction because the Constitution, Precedent, Oath of Office, Evidence or Hypocrisy means nothing to them. POWER and only absolute POWER is their goal.

This will conclusively prove what the Democrats are all about.

I'm working from home today and even though things have been pretty slow at work this afternoon, I couldn't bear to watch live. In fact, I have not seen a single minute of these sham impeachment hearings.

But your post and many others on this thread are encouraging. Do you think I should invest the time this weekend to watch this on YouTube (or Rumble if they have it there)?

In their extremely doctored video, the House managers used only two examples of PDJT using the word “fight” at the Jan 6 speech. Trump’s attorney just showed the other (about) 18 usages. They were all completely political, or even just joking, usages.

It was also a good opportunity for a broadcast of excellent parts of Trump’s speech, something many Americans, especially consumers of the Ministry of Truth media, had never seen. Then a second video played showing many Dem’s using the word “fight”. I am so glad for this defense.

Blumenthal called “whataboutism.” False equivalence between DEMs calling for fight in the streets, and Trump’s speech of January 6th.

It’ll be interesting if the Democrats decide to call witnesses.

Senate Dems were laughing at the videos, so was I. They are fools.I have to believe that is what is called “nervous” laughter.

I expect team Trump to close argument today, and the Senate to vote today. Long weekend ahead.
