Trump impeachment lawyer Castor says he and David Schoen 'changed what we were going to do on account that we thought that the House managers' presentation was well done.'

defense team

"That's what we broke away from Great Britain in order to do," Castor said."To be able to say what we thought."Bruce Castor, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, speaks during the second impeachment trial of Trump in the Senate at the U.S. Capitol, Feb. 9, 2021, in Washington, D.C. One overarching point of Castor's was an argument heard in Trump's first impeachment trial -- that the Senate must reject this impeachment to prevent future trials or else,"The pressure will be enormous to respond in kind."

He also took issue with the House passing a single article of impeachment, which he deemed casting too wide of a net, rather than breaking it into parts.

Most Americans wanted a conviction for five people who died in January 6! Time to FIGHT against white supremacy. Sedition and .....NoAccountabilityNoUnity

I say time to fight back with legislation and passing every Sen house bill in the Senate. NoAccountabilityNoUnity

Sure, sure, tell that to the dead Officer’s parents or those who lost fingers. Just ignore those gaping wound. They’ll heal all by themselves , no need for stitches.

It is more of bringing Trump to account for his harmful lies and actions.

The issue before the Senate is whether or not Trump incited insurrection on 1.6.21. It is not for his lawyers to decide what will or will not heal the nation.

Doesn't even make sense ur a wounded nation every wound needs treating not this crapola of leaving it open 2 fester and get infected.

75 million Americans voted for Trump. Many Trump voters swear it was in the 80 m. What exactly good will come from further aggravating an already fed up people? How do you 'heal' by firmly standing harder on the necks of 75 million people? Honest question.

Oh so that settles it! It's called accountability, something this man has never been held to and after being allowed to hold that office he has to be held accountable at least this once!

The Left doesn’t care. They tore our country apart all summer long and into the fall. And what was said or done? Bubkiss.

WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE THEN!

Yeah, tell that to all the mother fuckers who you and your people prosecuted, convicted and ruined their entire families lives!! You entitled fucks should pay like every other American does. Your no better than we are!!

I think this is personal hatred for Trump being shown by the Democrats, buh they are backing it up by tryna use the constitution to finish up the job. They just hate Trump.

So what he really meant was you have people that lost their lives and had lives threatened with the devilish attack and we should say let them go they didn't do anything? Hmm how does the nation heal without justice for victims of an incite? The election was over 3 months ago

Gaslighting 101 - projecting mmmkay.

The nation was beginning to heal when we got a new administration. All they had to do was concede..They disrespected the American people's vote and their voice. The Capital hill riot wouldn't have never happened! What about the 5 that died? What if that officer was your son?

It’s called closure, and we definitely need it

Take your nap.

We don't know what the hell u were saying?🤦‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Our nation will never heal without a trump conviction. Republicans have told the world they don’t want democracy, just power. Convict. Get on board. GOP SenateGOP

ABC if your polls were legitimate you wouldn't need to keep rebroadcasting it. This is main stream media trying to form opinions not reporting it. MAY THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER DELICIOUS

What nation is he living in!!!!

Trump's defense to the charge of inciting insurrection is to threaten to start a civil war?

accountability has to take place before healing can begin!

NO, TRUMP'S CONVICTION IS THE KEY TO GETTING THE NATION TO HEAL... C O N V I C T I O N of TRUMP...

This is not the Reconstruction because a declaration of war was not given. David Schoen has dared give insurrectionists the same importance as the U.S. Civil War. It is not right. TrumpImpeachment

And I say this lawyer is dead wrong about that. He sure as hell doesn’t speak for me.

Mr Schoen is correct!!

LIAR Trump is Guilty ! 6 dead people. Enormous damage. Trump knew it and crossed the line!! He needs to be convicted As Sasse said, Trump enjoyed it. He refused to call for help. He wanted - them hurt He wanted them dead! He sent them! No consequences no change. CONVICT TRUMP!!!

When someone commits a crime there's violence people are injured death results it is not the norm to say but we'll just forget about it

Bla.bla.bla

If ANYONE HEARS WHAT TRUMP SAID, & watches his cult react, there is NO WAY anyone can say he didn’t incite the hatred & violence with his lies. He is guilty as charged. The Senate needs to vote with their conscience, not band together like Trumplican puppets. HE IS GUILTY!

This coming from the guy who must keep his head from coming detached while he drinks water.

He cried for trump, can we say theatrics

By they way has anyone asked where is the woman that claimed sexual harassment on Biden while he was a senator? Why wasn’t her claim investigated? Why didn’t they bring her to capital hill? Hmm any thoughts ABC?

The nation doesn’t need healing, it has to put things back in order! It’s not divided either. The nation has been awakened to the fact that America has terrorist who has citizenship! If Trump had not been a radial, the nation would’ve never seen the snakes of radicalism.

True. Let’s just move on. Trump supporters will be energized if this doesn’t end quickly.

Accountability is what will bring healing.

maggieNYT It sure as Hell was! I can’t even get my mind around what Castor and Schoenberg are screeching.

I have heard stronger 5th grade book reports.

I think Castor and Rudy are of the same brainwaves.

maggieNYT Nothing like admitting you were ill prepared. Big Orange Baby isn’t going to like this. We may see Rudy yet!

From arresteddev (tv show) -or today, you decide!

maggieNYT Laughable!

maggieNYT What were they planning on doing? A banjo concert?

maggieNYT Castor is making zero sense.

maggieNYT They clearly are a brilliant duo.

maggieNYT Bruce Castor ...

maggieNYT That went well

The sad thing is, none of this will matter because our republican senators are spineless.

maggieNYT Is that how he said it, word for word? Tell him he sounds like a third grader.

참빗은 옛 여인들이 많이 쓰든물품 현대의 여성들의 애국물품? 잘만든 참빗--보기 힘든듯

He puts his hand on his head when drinking water to prevent leaking..

Don't let David fool you we know what was in there... -ONE.🍸

Awful did he get his law degree at trump university?

So they decided to put everyone to sleep?

maggieNYT

maggieNYT I've completely lost track I'm afraid. david schoen is articulating many words. but then again, it doesn't really matter - it could be frosty the snowman defending donald trump, the republican senators have already made their mind up anyway, haven't they?

maggieNYT And what type of English is “on account”

They are all stark raving mad.

maggieNYT So that’s why their presentation is a shit show?

My poor Philly!😒

maggieNYT In other words we are f$ked. Let's go to plan 'B'
