.GarrettHaake describes how some senators are spending their time behind their desks during impeachment - from fidget spinners to color-coded note-taking.

Fidget spinners, sketching, books: How senators entertain themselves during Trump's impeachment trialMSNBC Capitol Hill correspondent Garrett Haake gives an inside look at how senators are entertaining themselves on the Senate floor during the

impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. Several are using fidget spinners, Sen. Rand Paul is working on sketching a "very nice picture of the U.S. Capitol," and Sen. Marcia Blackburn is reading a book, which Haake "does not think was impeachment related."

GarrettHaake Fidget spinners.....? So basically some senators are juveniles with attention issues?

GarrettHaake And MarshaBlackburn is apparently reading a book.

GarrettHaake It is a shame that we were restricted from seeing the entire impeachment trial, instead having to rely on what Senators want us to see. I for one am very curious as to which Senators are taking extended breaks and not paying attention.

GarrettHaake If I did that a work & wasn't paying attention to my patients I'd be fired!!!

GarrettHaake Just shameful! Is this what America has become?! My Lord help us!

GarrettHaake These are your elected officials. Where is the sandbox?

GarrettHaake Who knew GarrettHaake's break out Twitter moment would be about fidget spinners?

Sens. Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton break Senates no phone rule during trial - Business InsiderUS senators had a hard time following the strict no-phone policy while listening in on 12-hour days of arguments during the impeachment trial. They should be removed from the trial then - that’s what would happen in a real trial. I don't blame them. If I were attending a kayfabe wrestling match I would be bringing my phone as well. I Marvel at how people get so caught up in a diversion. Meanwhile their personal houses are burning down. Republicans just can’t follow any rules.
