BREAKING: President Trump's defense team gives 2 hours of arguments Saturday before concluding; impeachment trial to resume Monday.

Rebecca Shabad and Allan SmithWhite House lawyer argues Dems didn't allow whistleblower testimony, but Schiff explained why they chose not to

"Further although the ICIG's preliminary reviewed identified some indicia of bias of an arguable political bias on the part of the complainant in favor of a rival political candidate, such evidence did not change my determination that the complaint relating to the urgent concern 'appears credible' particularly given the other information the ICIG obtained during its preliminary review," Atkinson wrote.

“It turns out, that that statement was not truthful,” Philbin said."His staff had spoken with the whistleblower before the person filed the complaint. ... After that point, it became critical to shut down any inquiry into the whistleblower.” During the end of deputy White House counsel Purpura’s presentation and the start of Jay Sekulow’s, all seats in the chamber were full. Several Republicans laughed approvingly at the supercut of Amb. Sondland's various assumptions and presumptions. Tim Scott laughed loudly.

Hardly defence....they have none!

The opening argument itself was a slam dunk. Right in the face. End the sham impeachment right now & move on to the Trump2020Landslide

Please post only photos highlighting his pussyneck...

'Moscow Mitch' told them to cut it short bec he wants to shut it down early next week b4 more tapes & other evidence gets into the public ether & polls get worse. MM is happy to deal with the charge of a rigged Russia style trial.

Hours of skewed timelines.

How anyone could listen to more than 2 hours of that ignorant diversionary drivel is beyond me. It was literally painful. RemoveTrumpNOW ImpeachmetTrail

2 hours of bull

2-hours 😂🤣😂 pathetic

Trump attention span is 2 minutes

Thank you Senator Kaine. You said exactly what the Americans are ASKING FOR!

Why do you not put your Guests hashtags and Twitter handles on your Video Broadcasts

Democratic case was collapsed by President’s team today.

They didn’t even need that much time to debunk the entire case against trump. Trump wins again and impeachment will be dismissed and he will be exonerated and re-elected !! Let’s goo baby. Also why did the Dems lie about the meeting and the earthquake.

Hope I won't need to turn off the sound.

Destroyed Schiff and the House. Sondland, Morris et al testimony clearly showed how dishonest the democrats are. Schiff should be indicted.

They know no one is watching.

They proved the point why witnesses and documents be revealed.

Exhausted already?

The truth always wins !! Demonrats case got shredded 🙌🏼😂😂

So, basically showboating for the Sunday morning shows.

Horrible & boring

Ouch, Shifty got murdered. Exposed as dishonest. It’s over!

They have no defense. It’s impossible to defend the indefensible.

Pussy grabbing = trumptapes Stormy Pay off = trumptapes Working with Parnas = trumptapes I want to hear the Ukraine Phone Call tapes...not read the redacted summary Trump gave us. WitnessesAndDocuments AmericansWantWitnesses WE DEMAND THE TRUTH

I love Nancy and her support of Trans and POCs and how she understands white cis men are running the patriarchy. Impeach their leader and run him out of office. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Yes, Republicans don’t have the need to repeat things 20 times. When you say something that makes sense, it’s done and over with. But when you’re selling bullshit you have to keep saying it so maybe it sticks

Hahahaha. They know there’s no defense for this dude.
