Readings your post only tells me the republicans got sucker punched again by agreeing to give the evil rats an extra day! Where the hell is the kill switch? They are breaking lots of senate rules here ...No phones and they are wearing ⌚️ Watches, not one stink from McConnell about that, showing wittiness on video and not one word from McConnell! WTH! It feels like this trial is a redux of the house hearings with ScHIT being AGAIN the ring leader! ScHIT is making a mockery of McConnell and the senate! Seems like trump is getting screwed again. Are the republicans being played again or are they willing participants?

And more insidious, they are using their favorable snippets and certainly not the end results of damning cross examinations. I am confident that no court would allow cherry picking of videos, interviews or communications to be used as evidence. The entire script or video would have to be revealed. This is ridiculous and can not believe it is being allowed.

During the house inquiry, all I heard from republicans was that “it’s hearsay, not admissible in any court of law, it will not be allowed in the senate trial.” The clowns Nadler & Schiff are entering into the record pure speculation and hearsay, the GOP is doing nothing ???

Is it because it’s the opening statements and they can’t object. Why are they letting them say all this nonsense, the lies, unproven conjecture & not objecting ?

I caught some of that, Preibus sat there and let them say nonsense like “this is serious now, because Trump has asked another govt to interfere in our upcoming election.” He said nothing. He should have have taken her to task. “That’s a total fabrication, there is no proof of that, you need to retract that”. He sat there for most of it, as they bashed Trump.. I was so infuriated I turned it off.. All Preibus was thinking about was his job, worried if he really defended the Presient and took these MSM whores to task, he wouldn’t be invited back to any MSM gigs. Disgusting, self-serving deep state hack.

As I understand the proceedings, they can’t say any thing now but after the dims are done they will have their say and from what I have seen of Jay during breaks, they will have plenty to say.

“If Schiff needed to be honest to speak today, he would have stayed home trimming his toe nails and then hanging something in his closet.”

Hopefully himself.

In a standard legal proceeding, yes, they should recuse. But in today’s political climate, it is unreasonable to think ANY politician can be “impartial”. Look at the House vote on articles of impeachment. Look at all the straight party line votes yesterday. The oath of impartiality is a joke, and the trial a political circus. The Republicans should have exercised their power and dismissed rather than subject the nation to this divisive, politically motivated act of desperation from Pelosi, Schiff and company.

Here's the real test. When the Pubs get their rebuttal time, watch for:

1.) The Rats constantly objecting.

2.) McConnell allowing them to do so.

3.) McConnell sustaining their objections.

I hope you are right. I’m so sick of watching McConnell, and so many republicans sit back and take it. Afraid of what the media might say. Stupid morons, surely they have figured out by now, the media hates them, playing nice gets them nothing but the appearance of saps.

Trump’S lawyers better eviscerate these lying bastards.

It will be interesting to see if Roberts or McConnell clips the Pubs' wings.

The managers are assigning the most nefarious intent to every text, phone call, conversation, along with intentionally lying and taking hearsay conversations out of context when in fact there are valid reasons that make more sense.

if this was a made for tv drama it would be unbelievable. Can't wait until President Trump's council gets their turn.

Defense can do the same.

Take video cut/PowerPoint stuff

declare House mangers are engaging in hearsay based on what secondary characters are answering/assuming

ask why the House managers do not have direct primary evidence for any claim

explain to the Senate they wanted you to do their homework for them which is verboten in any court of law (Judge and jury weigh evidence AT HAND and are not PRSECUTORS OR DEFENDENTS)

explain the Articles are vague by design for political points/weak impeachment excuse

state House mangers are tyrannical by denying due process during the Intelligence Committee inquiry

declare this trial MUST be declared null and void based on lack of evidence as well as hyper-partisanship
