Adam Schiff rebuked Republican senators for walking out of Donald Trump's impeachment trial on the second full day of the Democratic case to remove the president – but at least 16 senators weren’t even there at the start of his remarks for the historic trial.
Just minutes later, fellow Democratic impeachment manager Rep. Jerry Nadler made a key constitutional point by playing a video clip from Sen. Lindsey Graham from the impeachment of Bill Clinton – but Graham was not even in the chamber to hear it.
The moment was noticeable inside the august Senate chamber, and was not lost on Senate GOP conference chair John Barrasso, who sits next to Graham. As other senators looked toward TV screens to see Graham – himself a former impeachment manager in 1999 – Barrasso looked sheepishly upward, placing his hand over the empty chair.
Luckily for Graham and tardy lawmakers, their absence and movements was not visible to the wider public. Senate rules prevent C-Span or other networks from photography inside the chamber, and the Senate Sergeant At Arms controls the fixed camera feet blasted out to the viewing public. It shows only the speaker, be it Schiff or Nadler, speaking in the well of the chamber with a marble background.

The Corrupt Establishment vowed to stop him. They have spent 3-4 years trying.
They threatened him with everything from jail to penury to assassination. They threatened his family!
They sent an army of lawyers, investigators, so-called "journalists," spies, fiction writers, deep state hacks, slanderers, false witnesses--even witches to put a hex on him!
They could find NOTHING. NOTHING worked! NOTHING stopped him!
Trump is the cleanest President in U.S. history! Who could withstand such scrutiny?
Behind all this is the Corrupt Establishment's terror that Trump will expose the truth about all their crimes and corruption and that the truth will put an end to their gravy-train, call a halt to their luxuries, privileges, and power, and throw them in jail!
They are terrified!
"Impeachment" is their last resort. They know it won't remove him from power, but they are hoping against hope that it will, that some miracle will remove Trump, truth, and the threat of exposure, and end their nightmare!
TRUTH is the Democrats' nightmare!
If they can't stop him, President Trump is going to be re-elected, and he will cast the LIGHT OF TRUTH on them, their corruption, and their crimes! That is their worst nightmare! And it's coming true!
They are desperate!
They are in panic!
They are psychotic with fear, panic, and desperation!
They are DANGEROUS!
Does this include Feinswine as well? She got bored last night and left early. Guess her Chicom driver had a hot date?
Infused chocolate. It’s what in the candy drawer. Everyone would be giggling.
Shame on the republican senators for letting this EFFIN sicko scumbag ScHIT and the rest of evil doers into their house to be threatened with jail, lied to and break their rules...SHAME!! This circus should have died long before they had a chance to soiled their house!! Spineless republicans!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excellent Point!
Repubs HAD THE CHANCE to vote for changes to the Senate Rules for these clowns came to town. Repubs HAD THE CHANCE to deny opening statements, new witnesses and new testimony.
They shat their own nest. They could have/should have prevented this.
DiFi started this last evening. The media are still outraged that she screwed up their show. I don’t think any bug-eyed jackasses are going to arrest Senators, though. If they do they can start with her.
Here is WHAT they’re afraid of; And its been revealed in

Lol... If an impeachment happened in a Senate and nobody was there to hear it, did it really happen?
Democrats whining, b*tching and moaning about an impeachment so anodyne and boring no one cares about it. Where’s the beef?
>>Risking prison? What’s this? They want to mimic some third world nation?<<
They are going to toss them into the gulags with the rest of us.
The DUMB M EFFERS have not even got the Sgt of Arms proclamation correct.
This is how it goes Schiff for brains...
“All persons are commanded to keep
silence, on pain of imprisonment, while the House of Representatives is exhibiting to the Senate
of the United States articles of impeachment against ;”
What does it say Schiff for brains? It says not ONE GD THING about the senators having to stay within the chambers.
Even Democrats don’t care. This is all kabuki theater and they’re wasting our time on this puerile nonsense.
When they can’t even accuse the President of committing a real crime. Geez.
Drudge sold out to them .
By not being there they just give the Left another talking point of the unfairness of it all.
It’s their Job. Just do it and get it over with.
You can’t be on a Jury and leave the Courtroom even if the Case is completely bogus. Any of us commoners would be held in Contempt if we were ten minutes late from our Lunch break.
In a nation of over 350 Million, about 11 million people were watching all of the TV channels combined.
More people watch paint dry on the home improvement channel.
I would really like to punch that chrissy right in his smarmy mouth.
I believe this is where Adam Schiff was suppose to be presenting a COMPELLING argument. I’ve heard mind reading about DJT’s motives, where there maybe many different and competing motives...mistatements about fact witness testimony esp the Ambassador, and non fact witnesses lying about their expertise. As Alan Derschowitz has effectively written, with the exception of treaties and declarations of war, the president is in charge of foreign policy. SCOTUS is the only way to settle a dispute, otherwise it is a vote of no confidence which the framers did not want. Now, because of unfair play, similar to the Bush era nonsense but more serious, they dispute the election and are willing to violate due process for illegal redress.

Yes, and more than a hint of mao's "cultural revolution".
.
I highly doubt there are any significant numbers watching all of this..with the exception of journalists.
Even politicians are fading out on it.
They made a huge mistake in droning on and on and on and on . There is nothing to hold the attention. It’s not like there is a blue dress with a stain on it.
This case could have been made in one day..and that is what they should have done.
I really hope GOP doesn’t make the same mistake
So Schiff’s gone full Captain Queeg?
Need to take him outta there in a straightjacket!
One radio commentator said that the first day of the trial attracted 11 million viewers. Ironically, the first day of the initial House inquiry attracted 13 million viewers.
No wonder the major networks are not breaking into regular programming for this fiasco.
