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.

Kudos to defense but as for the circus....

This is mcconnells fault for surrendering control by lacking the will to fight and maintain control of senate

So far, IMO, the pace is perfect; the points are profound; the pronunciation of the word “hypocrisy” is entirely proper. This presentation is compleat and is targeted right where it belongs--America.

Not just Trump, but he First Amendment is also on trial.

"No witnesses. Defense said yeah we agree this is what the lady will say. We dont agree with it but stipulate she will say it. House managers okay, we get to read her statement and want no witnesses. Then senate by unanimous consent move on to final statements."

Wow, Miotch forced Schumer down. This is the "Clinton Solution", where they admitted depositions per stipulation in place of actual witness testimony.

Raskin & some many of these Rat whores have smiled & chuckled through this. Why he gets another 30 minutes is ridiculous.. My poor mute button has been off and on so many times since Tuesday, I’m sure it’s worn out by now.. Hopefully this will be the final mute, on this POS Ratsskin. What a detestable piece of human sewage.

Often wondered where they get the hair they plaster on the front, comes from - now I know?

Sometimes Krysten Sinema does the right thing. I guess that would depend on her feedback from constituents.

It’s actually not about changing..the left...that will never happen. Rather that truth was revealed. Those who love darkness will remain in willful darkness regardless of truth. Those who sincerely seek truth in this will see it .

PRIMARY JAIME HERRERA BEUTLER.

Announce a primary candidate TODAY and let's get the crowdsourcing going.

David Castillo or Richard DeBolt.

Does Raskin get the final word? Is so, this is worse than a kangaroo court.

You’re citing rumors the media and rats put out.

If he was gay, why did he have a girl friend on the record but no boyfriend?

The rumor of how he died that you cite came from a single source in Lebanon, probably linked to Hezbollah, and was never verified.
