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.

Things were moving fast at that point...But I believe Leahy had what Lee objected to struck from the record.

Its the method the obama administration used. So there is precedence. No one was held accountable.

The prosecution is not sure what they do have and don't have in evidence. Amateurs...

Well, I hope that after Atty. van der Veen slept on this for a night or two, he is spectacularly pissed off. If he’s loaded for bear today, it should be “must see TV”.

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.

I think President does have control of National Guard...However, I am not certain how involved he was in deciding to dispatch troops on January 6...

You may be right about that but at least some of the states are trying to do something. We’ll see how far it goes.
