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.

I don't give two hoots what the Demorats say or do......’TRUTH’ went out today and when God sends it out it does not return to Him void but accomplishes what He sends it out to do!....You can take that to the bank!

“It’s been so long since truth has been heard that I’m almost in tears.....”

Another memorable moment brought to us by President Donald John Trump, the Keeper of the Light, Guardian of the Constitution, Defender of Truth, Justice and the American Way.

Yep, the Dems are seething with hatred and likely ALL will vote to convict. It’s the GOP that I will be watching.

-- DiFi isn't wearing a mask. Is she SPECIAL? --

Yes, of course she is special. One senator is worth a million regular people. Just ask them. Look at how they are protected. Do you have National Guard around your house? No? It's because you don't have the same value that government people have. They are really really really worth something. Ask them. or better yet, just watch how they act and what they order for themselves, out of your pocket.

I wish they had played Maxine.

Congresswoman Waters was shown several times during the video presentation...

She did voice her objection in 2017 during the vote certification for Trump...Joe Biden ruled that her objection will not be considered...

Video clips showing Democrats objecting during the vote certification...Objecting during vote certification is nothing new...

I don’t see how there could be a better mix of fire and ice. And the emphasis on “hypocrisy” was a well deserved slap at the “double standard” Rats. I wonder if Trump’s defense will show a video of Nancy the ripper at the State of the Union. I would have.

It's because you don't have the same value that government people have.

Im surprised elected officials don't pass a law giving themselves 100 votes and the rest of us just 1/2 a vote.

Did they take a break every two hours when the house managers put on their prosecution? On C-SPAN, the first person I saw at a microphone was Senator Blumenthal a complete phony liar. I muted my TV .

We have so few lawyers speaking that it is good to have the breaks.

Watching a replay of Schoen:

“Theres that famous quote like one of the house managers said, a lie will travel half way around the world before the truth has a chance to put its shoes on. This lie however (refering to the clip he had just presented) has traveled around the world a few times and made its way into the Biden campaign talking points and ended up on the Senate floor.”

(Reference to the Charlettsville lie- very good people on both sides

Isn’t there a Q&A from the Senators after the defense rests and before the vote?
