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.

Schumer is now pontificating with his remarks prepared well in advance since he knew the impeachment would fail once again.

Schumer should listen to his own words. He claims the American public should never follow Trump.

Well, Schumer might want to consider the American people will never follow the Democrats after their second failed impeachment.

Now McConnell is bad mouthing Trump.

If McConnell’s current words mean anything, then why did he not vote GUILTY.

Nope...... no censure vote. Schumer says he hopes the voters will settle this in 2024

Didn’t watch a single second of this farce. Watched a few clips and that’s all.

Hard to believe these republicans voted guilty after threading down and the constitutional lesson Trump’s lawyers gave. They truly have no soul and no conscience. The people should make them all miserable. Never mind Florida. We are 100% with Trump. He needs to go to Kentucky and Pennsylvania and Wyoming where their representatives voted with the party who is stripping them of their livelihoods.

I had to turn it off. McConnell is a disgrace. There are nearly 3,000 affidavits from ppl who swore under penalty of perjury to voter irregularities they saw. People have looked at who voted and found hundreds of thousands of illegally cast votes - dead people, people registered out of state, ballots counted without matching signatures, ballots dropped in the dead of night.. Just see the Navarro report... A senate in AZ over two months ago got a subpoena to look at ballots & machines in Maricopa county, they election officials there are still fighting it.

There’s too much to list here. The nerve of that POS McConnell talking about no evidence of fraud.

I was thinking about a stake being pounded in the GOP's heart, if it has one left. McConnell will now attempt to crawfish his way out of his stupidity.
