Closing arguments at former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial were expected to get underway Saturday morning — with each side granted two hours to make their final case to the US Senate before an expected vote on the verdict later in the day.
But Day 5 started instead with House impeachment manager Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asking to subpoena records and call a witness sparking fierce debate with Trump defense lawyer Michael van der Venn.

In this video which is 1:09 total time, Trump tells his supports to ‘go home now’ a couple of times, that they support law enforcement and they didn’t want anyone hurt - what he doesn’t do is say the election was legitimate.

Yep. Witnesses go away. Vote this evening. Not guilty
Honestly, i’m confused.
Witnesses?
No witnesses?
What?
The Dems evidently saw the problems with allowing for witnesses and now don’t want witnesses.
Now - closing arguments are to start.
Raskin the scum is now bringing up what was just entered into the record - this phone call between the Republican congresswoman and Cong. McCarthy.
The mute button is my friend.
“Well Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”
Well, I agree. It’s obvious
Next case...
Jamie is a loon.
His arson illustration is as empty as his crown.
Rafferty just mis-quoted Herrera Beutler’s testimony. Left out Trumps reply that it wasn’t his people, it was ANTIFA. That was not stated in the ‘evidence’ presented by Rafferty.
“Well Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”
If that’s the standard, I’m more upset by the election than McCarthy too!
Doesn’t the VP have Secret Service detail?
Hope Liz Cheney is enjoying all of the great publicity Raskin is giving her. /s
Yes...
Great point
While I was watching on TV, there were reports that cell phone reception was blocked and people were not receiving tweets.
Don't know if this is true.
Meanwhile, it looks as if this was a pretty good predictive methodology for the actual vote in November:

Mine too as long as that liar is speaking.
Jamie rat-skin
No doubt that an insurrection attempt took place. Also no doubt it was NOT attempted under the authority and direction of the President.
A jury member must vote to AQUIT an accused if the prosecution fails to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Having listened to the Case presented without witnesses to support the accusation...
Anyone who votes to convict Donald Trump of Incitement to insurrection should be removed from office. -— looks like they are wrapping this up by unanimous consent they agreed to present their closing arguments and avoid the whole witness calling debacle ——
Might have been interesting to see Pelosi testify
