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 could listen to van der veen all day!

Bernie Sanders asked him if he believed what Mr. Trump said about election results...

He refused to give his personal opinion...He stated that focus should be on the incitement question...I think he answered the question correctly...

Yes, I think the focus should be on incitement question...

Now they are just smearing the president. Why didn’t Nancy protect the Capitol? Isn’t she in charge of the Capitol police?

I’ve been watching some of the replay on Cspan. As you and others said - it was wonderful to see the defense attorneys make clear the lies of the leftists.

But am sure we won’t see these clips on the MSM tonight.

“Democrats are just nasty, lying scumbags. All for power.”

Damn Raskin is at total jerk and liar and denied seeing the video of Harris encouraging rioting and violence and he makes up stuff about what Trump was celebrating and encouraging the violence at the capitol. POS

Van der Veen is a nasty Dershowitz...The house managers’ attempts to warp Trump's words leave them high and dry in the context of Harris's words.

CANNOT watch the circus.

Actual line of questioning:
How can Trump’s words meet your new ad hoc definition of ‘incitement’ but Harris can dial even more volatile words AND HELP tioters get bailed out, and NOT be found subject to that same definition?

Actual answer:
I know Kamala and it is inconceivable to me that she would ever incite violence.

Did you also notice the presiding “judge,” has a cheat sheet of photos of the prosecutors and defense teams on his desk? He needs every aid he can get.
