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.

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. Will vote about pm or so and acquit
There may be a method to the madness of accepting the testimony in, Rat-skin is going on an an bringing up all kinds of nonsense. I think that gives free rein to the defense in their summation.
Their unbridled hatred is on full display.
Dem base is very upset...
“What an unbelievable cave by Democrats here.
They cleared the first witness vote — and then decided that they wouldn’t call witnesses.”
LOL!
Thanks for clearing it up for me!
Personally, I’m partial to Rule #5:
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
Find the major flaw in each RAT buffoon, and let ‘er rip — ridicule, that is. Ridicule on every media outlet, do it every minute of every day.
OMG that is priceless. Leftist heads exploding all over the place.
And the dumb managers are all giddy thinking they have won something.
Obama was awol on the night of Benghazi. They arrested a film producer that had nothing to do with the “peaceful protest.”
Hillarys deposition was not recorded. She orders blackberries destroyed and “wipes the hard drive with a cloth.” A U.S. Ambassadore is sodomized and killed. Rice lies to the American public the following morning.
Result: not one is held accountable
Trump calls for peaceful protest
Result: rinos join dems and calls for Trumps head.
(Cathy Griffin takes the request at face value)
I want my country back MAGA
Yep..... Schumer and some of the more politically astute did not want to go down the road of witnesses. Trump team would have probably called Pelosi first one out.....
“who is claiming that Pence was in danger?”
Exactly. It’s not as if they ever LIE. [eyeroll]
Perfect time for the Chicoms to invade Taiwan. Our Congress is waaay too busy on “important” matters.
An what was DJT supposed to do about it? Put on his Superman cape and go rescue him or call in the troops, oops possse comitatus would apply and then the dems would want to impeach him. Oh I guess he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.
It is up the the Speaker of the House to control the security of the capitol. He has no authority over the Capitol Police or the National Guard and neither does the Mayor of DC. He is only CIC of US Military.
Suddenly the left loves Pence? The man they hated for 4 years.
Suddenly the enemy of their enemy is their victim.
The more things change the more these hypocrites are exposed.
You are thinking about a court of LAW. This is a political court, a kangaroo court, a Stalinist show trial, not a court of law. No court of law would be conducted like the House Managers have done so far.
“there were reports that cell phone reception was blocked and people were not receiving tweets.”
Maybe not overtly blocked, but I think that when there are so many users congregated in one location, cellular just overloads so nothing works well, or works at all.
“A jury member must vote to AQUIT an accused if the prosecution fails to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.”
That’s in the real world, in a real court of law. This isn’t either of those things.
Ha ha ha! Where are you reading that? Twitter? DU?
“Now - closing arguments are to start.”
I broke for lunch. So now there will be no witnesses? Going straight to closing? My TV is on mute as RATs are talking.
Ditto. The longer it drags on the more the public will realize how insane the commies are.
I have a feeling history will be much more favorable to Trump after this show trial.
Who interjected? Was it Lee again?
