Democratic impeachment prosecutors use rioters' words against Trump at trial, resting their case

to the Jan. 6 violence at the Capitol by playing statements of the rioters who said they were acting on Trump's request.

Impeachment managers also drew upon statements rioters made to law enforcement, lawyers and local media that made clear they came to Washington and forced their way into the Capitol because Trump wanted them to. Impeachment manager, Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., said it's clear the violence, destruction, and death at the Capitol could not have happened without Trump.

Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., accused Trump of creating a"powder keg" situation with supporters who were poised for violence at his signal. Trump indicated in those remarks that he was not referring to white nationalists, whom he said should be condemned. "The siege of the Michigan statehouse was effectively a state-level dress rehearsal for the siege of the U.S. Capitol that Trump incited on Jan. 6th," Raskin said.

Not only invited, h*ll Trump sent buses all over the U.S. to bring them in! The least the GOP could have done would to be present. Guess they don't see the point since they made up their minds weeks ago!

Rioters used Trump’s words to invade, attack and defile the Capitol as they terrorized VP Pence and elected officials, injured and killed Capitol police and stunned the entire world.Trump’s blatant call to action was clear to his followers and clear to the American people.

You know what. Why not take a new stance? Ask the lunatic fringe that Trump incited and you enabled to take responsibility for their actions. Do the honorable thing for once.

Used their words against Trump? They said they were invited by the President. The Democrats then presented video evidence with the idiotic mob spewing Trump's rhetoric. It does look bad for Trump but that doesn't mean it's used against him. The Dem's were just presenting facts!

Why won't your channel show viewers the video from Dem impeachment? Want to know what you are missing Fox viewers? Here's a link.

Republicans are challenged by not knowing the difference between right and wrong. Our country is worse for their involvement. They truly have no idea what truth and morality is. Very scary.

The House Managers put on a overwhelming case. Excellent presentation.

Political views from all sides welcomed?

absolutely they were

Trump Attorney: It’s ‘Offensive’ to Quote Rioters Saying They Attacked Capitol Because of Trump - WSJ.comOne 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' 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. 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.
