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.

That’s the idea. Bannon & many others are never going to concede until we see all the “receipts”. People will continue to comb through the list of people who voted and find out which were illegals.. One of Trumps lawyer’s already has done that in NV . Here is his testimony before a select committee in NV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGkfn4lrn_0

Is there anyone on Trump’s team in the Senate?

“Are they getting ready to CENSURE the President?”

Hope not. Do you think they’ll try to impeach Trump AGAIN? I would not put it past them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dems knew from the beginning this Impeachment Trial would end in acquittal. Why pursue?

Objective is to unperson Trump and remove him from political life.

Question remaining: Will Dems try to use 14th Amendment to
exclude Trump from ever running for political office again?
~~~~~~

Democrats will now use the 14th Amendment to banish Trump from running for Office after Impeachment fails

Wow! So he’s implying that Trump did something/many things wrong—just need AG’s to find it. I guess Trump can’t sue him for defamation b/c the biggest bully pulpit in the world is free to say anything w/consequence. What exactly as it that Trump did wrong. This psychopath will not be happy until Trump is dead and his entire family is shunned by the world. well, the video I saw yesterday of Pence at a some rally on Jan. 4th or 5th where he was saying that there were many irregularities in the voting and that eh woudl not certify these fraudulent votes, etc. is quite the contrast to evil Mitch’s statements. I’m not sure how Trump can stand it.

You mean right now? You mean his lawyers?

I don’t think so. The cameras are not showing the front of the chamber. Just focused on the speakers who are back near their seats.

Read the transcript. Trumps lawyer said specifically that Raskin deliberately misstated the stipulation. They merely stipulated at she said that what she heard NOT that it was true.

Thanks for the information...

Now, I would like to hear from Congressman McCarthy and President Trump...I would like them to explain what was really said during the phone call...I am just curious...

I am expecting neither of them to discuss the phone call any further...Both McCarthy and Trump want this phone story to go away...

I guess what happened during the phone call will probably remain a mystery...

When you hear a politician talk about evidence, they are not using the meaning of the word that 99% of people use. There is a legal definition of the word “evidence”. It means a document or other item that has been accepted by a judge into a court case in a court of law. McConnell must be using that legal definition because, if there is no court case, then there is no “evidence”.

Regardless, McConnell is a back-stabbing POS, especially since he won re-election with the help of Trump’s endorsement.

They just showed the front of the chamber - none of his legal team is there.

Even if they are to bann Trump from future office, his megaphone remains. Even if he has to build his own platform. His endorsement cannot be silenced. Don jr. 2024.

I don’t mean Trump’s lawyers. I mean are there any senators on Trump’s side. It seems to me that they would rather have Biden as president and lose the house and the senate as well as the freedoms of the United States of America in order to keep their corrupt elite lives.

oh good grief the idiot from Maine is speaking now - muted.

It would be nice if someone like Ted Cruz would get up there and take the knives out of the back of the President with some strong wordage.

Don’t know if there are any Senators who stood up for President Trump there now or not.

There should be!
