Democrats showed footage of pro-Trump rioters storming the Capitol as part of their impeachment trial opening remarks. Scenes of the fatal attack were mixed with video of Trump addressing a rally of supporters just moments before the building was stormed.

From CNN's Paul P. Murphy, Katelyn Polantz and Marshall CohenProsecutors have charged more than 200 people with federal crimes in connection with the Jan. 6 riot and insurrection at the Capitol, according to aThe milestone comes mere hours before the start of former President Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate, in which he is accused of inciting the riot and insurrection on Jan. 6.

In that court filing Monday, defense attorney Lindy Urso argued that Patrick McCaughey III, who allegedly pushed to crush a police officer in a Capitol doorway, hadn't planned the attack and instead was inspired by Trump's words that day. "The idea that there was a lack of planning finds some confirmation in the fact that the defendant's somewhat of a de facto unindicted co-conspirator in this case – former President Trump – was impeached for a second time precisely because it was alleged that he incited otherwise peaceful protestors, such as the defendant, to create violence at the Capitol," McCaughey's court filing said.

And on Sunday, another defendant, Matthew Miller, argued there's no proof he entered the Capitol or assaulted anyone, and was merely"following the directions" of Trump to march toward Congress. His defense attorney called Trump"the country's chief law enforcement officer" in the court filing, which asks for Miller's release from detention.share with Facebook

That man the former POTUS s very confused most times.

In a court of law this would not be admissable. This whole kangaroo court show trial is a Zionist farce.

Drama political games

a very concise timeline imbedded within the video, showing when Trump said what he said and how it influenced the crowd, including his opening speech and the tweets delivered later and later still his videos saying this is what happens when elections are fraudulent(The Big Lie)

Just as traumatic as the very day.

Known fact Trump wanted to rule not lead. He so admire Kim Jong un, Xi Jinping and Putin. They ruled and punished even poisoned anyone who dare challenged them. The constitution was written for leaders not rulers

When you proudly carry and wave a Trump banner/flag you are Trump people.

Read the speech guys. Trump pretty much called out the media and big tech for manipulating the American people. Don’t be a sheep.

If this succeeds one of these days when Republicans have all 3 branches they can impeach Obama for “ abuse of power “ because even President Obama himself admitted he didn’t have the power to do what became DACA. Putting immigrant Children in a very bad position !

President Trump was addressing the rally during the storming. The preplanned attack happened before during the speech because the president ran late

Sounds great but it won't do any good there mind's are made up , so may as well go straight to Vote get it over with . won't make any difference no matter what you show them , because they don't believe in honour duty or Truth , because it's only Trump's Truth and that's all .

Where is the proof of that

This is we the people taking back what is rightfully ours. Wasting government funding for an unlawful impeachment on a civilian. How crazy does that sound.

Rand Paul and his arguments are flawed with a false reality. It's clear as day of who was responsible for Jan 6th mob attack on the capitol.

You know what I see in that picture? I don't see 'terrorist', I see pissed off Americans who have felt like neither party has been listening. AND THEY STILL ARE NOT LISTENING.

This was no beer hall putsch. This was a coup. It was put down by the best law enforcement had to offer. It was orchestrated by the supposed leader of the free-world. On a battlefield, taking on an enemy, this would have been commendable. Attacking our own government, NO!

wait just a gurl durn minute here - don't 67 Senators need to vote to make this pass? and CNN thinks this will happen somehow buhahahaha
