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.

Exactly. Once it became clear they had 50+1 votes, he put himself into the category of support. Buckle up, Democrats.

I think it’s about the report that McCarthy called Trump and asked him to “call off” his supporters, who according to McCarthy were breaking into his offices. Exactly how Trump was supposed to do this isn’t clear, but apparently he gave an angry answer to McCarthy. There is a witness, at least by hearsay, a Dem whom McCarthy supposedly told about this. So that’s no doubt what is behind this.

Although he is not my Senator, I am from Middle Tennessee, but I always liked him. I am disappointed in him that he agreed to be a witness for the rats. The other four were to be expected to be.

There is a single charge of “incitement” against President Trump. How could a private call between McCarthy and Trump on Jan 6th “incite” the crowd already inside the US Capital?

This is Washington DC nonsense.

If they get witnesses, we get witnesses. Not seeing the downside of tying up congress for months. The longer this drags out the longer it delays them damaging the country.

Thread: Chaos at the impeachment trial.

Dems had agreed to no witnesses, then House Managers changed their mind this morning.

Total garbage.

Watching a recap of earlier today it becomes evident what the dem plan is. Call those that were arrested for entering the Capitol that they probably blackmailed into giving statements that Trump incited their actions.

I doubt that. I think the House hacks knew they were losing and dropped a turd in the fishbowl.

Considering that Trump is not president at this point, I’m not going to get worried about this morning’s events. The way I see it, if the Republicans vote to convict, nothing in DC changes, other than Trump PUTS A FORK into the Republican Party, and it finished for good. If Trump is acquitted and the Republicans are real nice to Trump, he may let them exist a bit longer as the opposition party to the Democrats.

Trump is that powerful.

Probably a recorded recap of earlier arguments today about whether or not to call witnesses. That’s what’s on CSPAN right now.

Where did you get the idea that the rule of law would be used in a political trial? I predict that they will call it "fair" because they will vote on the admissability of each witness and Trump's defense will lose each vote.
