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.

Cruz is suggesting/threatening to subpeona pelosi if they continue this sherade.

I just read about the Satanic Trinity.

Beasts and serpents and dragons, ..., but Cruz might unleash The Scarlet Woman, Whore, who rides on one of the beasts.

SATANIC TRINITY.

The members of it are-

“The Dragon”-the Anti-GOD.”
“The Beast”-the “Anti-CHRIST.”
“The False Prophet”-the “Anti-SPIRIT.”

Trumps lawyers should just find a film producer and have him arrested for inciting a riot.

If susan rice can get away with it, Trump should also be allowed to

He changed when he knew the dems won the vote. I think he is still on trump’s side......

Seriously?
January 6th this same senate voted 97-3 to certify the electors without questioning the massive voter fraud.

Your post makes the most sense so far.
This is the point that the republican party decides to commit suicide. Or not.

Newsmax has Cuchinneli on explaining Pelosi was in charge of Capitol police, Capitol police had the authority to call in the guard but it would take days for the guard to deploy with the proper equipment and ROE.

Yep...show trial...Senator Merkley (D-OR) just stated that the expansion of the trial into areas not covered by the impeachment articles was necessary to make Trump supporters aware of just what DJT has been up to...

Further Trump could not order anything because it was not his jurisdiction, other agencies could respond IF they were invited by the Capitol police. He said the three branches have their own protection and just rushing in uninvited could have resulted in blue on blue chaos.

That’s probably an upside event. But has to be done with the same relentlessness that the Rats operate on: the R’s would have to work to beat down further attempts at hijacking the proceeding.

Raskin really is insane: he’s a psychopath, i.e., a malignant narcissist. You can see him preening on the Senate floor as if it’s his property. His attitude towards the Senators is one of contempt - he’s the important person here, not them. They are only bit players in his show. And because of that, he’s NOT going to let go: it’s literally not in his DNA to allow that.

Letting it go on may have an upside, but it’s utterly dangerous because it will legitimize a totally un-Constitutional process of political villification by one party against the other. The Communists remember McCarthy and are returning the favor.

Trump can call as many witnesses as we wants if the senate turns them down they can schedule nightly appearances on Tucker Carlson the day the day they are turned down as a witness Fox gets their ratings back and trumps witnesses get a national platform this thing will go one for years

Time for us to start to use for Radicals Rule 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

First target - Raskin

Exactly. Separation of powers. Pelosi has the responsibility of the legislative branch and Trump had the authority of the Executive branch.

““How did the Pence aid know that Trump knew this information.”

Of course he didn’t know. This is their “insurance policy” today to try to rescue their sham. Another lie. Trump was speaking while Pence (allegedly) was being moved to safety; he couldn’t possibly have known. In fact, we don’t even know if hPence truly was moved. Just because they say he was doesn’t mean it’s true.”

who is claiming that Pence was in danger? of course, the dems would make that claim as well as saying Trump is responsible for all the violence committed by the ANTIFA/BLM. don’t accept their premise. didn’t pelosi claim her life was in danger as well? the dems always “trump” up their charges except when it’s obviously their people who are actually behind all the incitement for insurrection. dems always project their misdeeds, or planned misdeeds, on the innocent. why aren’t the repubs bringing up kamala’s statement that protesters should not let up? isn’t that also incitement for insurrection as well when their BLM supporters were burning, looting and shooting?

Agree...Even Senator Blumenthall (D-Conn), that rootin' tootin' war hero, admitted that the Pubs can keep the senate from conducting regular business under standing rules during the trial.

The Rats are pi$$ed knowing they've lost; and they have to be really concerned about the fact that they will have to extend this trial to get witnesses. Who knows...it's possible Biden might even be able to understand that his cabinet is not being confirmed while this joke continues.
