One of Donald Trump’s lawyers criticized impeachment managers for presenting evidence of rioters citing the former president as a reason for storming the U.S. Capitol, calling it 'an antithesis of the healing process to continue to show the tragedy'

David Schoen speaks during a television interview on Thursday.One of Donald Trump’s lawyers criticized Democratic impeachment managers for showing videos and other evidence of rioters citing the former president as a reason for assaulting the Capitol on Jan. 6.

“I think it’s offensive, quite frankly,” David Schoen told reporters on Thursday. “It’s an antithesis of the healing process to continue to show the tragedy that happened here, that Donald Trump has condemned, and I think it tears at the American people, quite frankly." Mr. Schoen, who had stepped out of the trial during the presentations to give some TV interviews, said the House managers had not “in any way” tied the violence to Mr. Trump. “I think they’re making a movie, you know?”

Impeachment for ex-president! Americans! Stop dishonour yourself!

The truth hurts but must be revealed to avoid deeper hurt and disclose lies.

Just what we need from Republicans, advice on the healing process.

What Trump DIDN'T DO. He failed in his duty as Commander in Chief:

Accountability is necessary antecedent for healing.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🚀

That’s the exact opposite of truth. ONLY BY REPEATING, INFORMING & REMEMBERING will we heal. UnityNotImpunity

That's why we call them Shysters

Because they are weak & Trump's façade of Strength gave them courage & something to believe in. They felt needed & useful, maybe for the first time in their lives. He preyed upon their insecurities & built them up over time. Like the one guy said I love Trump. I would DIE for him

Ignoring an infected wound doesn’t make it heal.

Don’t tell the truth. It’s inconvenient to our case...

Dude: healing starts with acknowledging harm done. Have your man do that.

Also makes his client look as guilty as sin

Oh stfu

Is this Castor or Bollocks?

Consequences. Rule of law, otherwise, I can shoot him, suffer no consequences and then do it again.

You cannot heal until the cancer is first removed. Otherwise it will continue to grow and poison everything around it. The GOP needs to learn this.

We can Never Forget!

Much of the GOP fear losing the deplorable vote & will vote against impeachment because they care more about their careers in Congress. If this isn't a reason to immediately institute a maximum 12 year term limit, then I don't know what is. Not a Congress vote - a mid-term vote!

We all know how the call for unity after the civil war and Lincoln was killed ended. The genesis of today’s insurrectionists and the willingness of the GOP to not fight for our constitution was born Shameful

Offensive? Defending t**** is far beyond OFFENSIVE! GOPCorruptionOverCountry

Healing only happens with accountability.

What’s MAGA’s classic tag line- “F$&k your feelings!” The country is angry and outraged about the insurrection. VoteToConvict InsurrectionHasConsequences

45 was/is the reason we need healing. STFU Repugnacants.

ALL of this DRAMA, CHAOS, CONFUSION in this country today (and the past 4-5 years) is because a whole lot of folk (including the BIRTHER 45 as their LEADER) HATE that BARACK OBAMA and his family were in the “WHITE” house for 8 years. That is the BOTTOM LINE!

How transparent is his motive? Childish attempt to object to the very evidence which is so damaging.

People in that crowd made a personal choice. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. No one can be held accountable for the actions of others. Nor, can someone use the excuse “they made me.” Watch the verdict in “A Few Good Men” and the discussion after.

But the tragedy here is not that this is a stupid defense; it is, but how else do you defend the indefensible? The problem is that millions of people, and 44 GOP Senators, will accept this bullshit as rationale for their cowardice. ImpeachAndConvict QOP

Please Save Myanmar 🙏Today Myanmar Military announced to released the convicts to kill the civilians. All civilians very afraid to live at home and sleep at night. We all face murder behind is Myanmar Military.

Tell that to those who were raped or abused when they have to endure physical testing and verbally repeating the trauma. Then they have to repeat it in court. If they want justice, the system requires them to be retraumatized over and over again.

It's called 'evidence'. That thing you have when there isn't a conspiracy.

The Latest: Trump lawyer says House presentation 'offensive'One of Donald Trump’s impeachment lawyers is calling the presentation by House managers “offensive.” David Schoen told reporters that Democrats had yet to tie the Jan. 6 siege at the U.S. Capitol to the former president. The connection was obvious with even the case. They republicans are just extremely corrupt. Your darn right its 'offensive', it's offensive because Republican Senators decided this before it started. And yes its offensive, then why are Republicans not holding the man who started all this 'offensive' accountable? People before Party! I call David Schoen OFFENSIVE. There... I guess anyone can just say that about ANYTHING — be false-outraged about ANYTHING! Hes got nothing else to say or argue...
