sarafagen2 We must all remember He who has not sinned may cast the first stone! Have you not hurt Trump enough? President Trump has been good to America and does not deserve Democrat abuse and poor support from some so called Republicans!

RT catturd2 stillgray JaniceDean Dems proved Capitol police conspiracy orchestrated rioters above fortress below. Dems proved Trump marchers coming for weeks ahead, why Capitol police unprepared? Who benefited from rioters?

Only Trump lawyers know that when Trump's foul mouth utters 'yes' he really means 'no' because its easy for them to enter his empty brain and know what he really meant or cook one up. Reason why trump should be absolutely barred from future office

Unity, my arse. Dems must End the Filibuster!

What were the Democrats doing

I’m not a Trump fan, but this is not news. I don’t think MSM knows the difference between being a bias gossip rag and a legit news institution.

sarafagen2 This isn't about trump. This is about the next president who decides that he doesn't want to lose his powers.

sarafagen2 On November second at 10 pm trump began his coup attempt when he decided to declare victory. This isn't about one speech.

is a disgrace to free press, you have decided to report only things that benefit the Dems. Is this journalism? Trump was right to fight you for 4 years. Very disgusting. My question is when will you report the evil things the Dems has don and will you in the future?

First of all that was extremely edited! Trump was talking about the election getting stole in that speech, not the attack on January 6th!!!!

is a f^cking JOKE. Conservatives have been RELENTLESSLY attacked, threatened, “canceled” and demonized for 4 YEARS AND BEYOND yet this is the “journalism” headline you go with. It’s like you’re purposefully trying to condition people. And so far.....it’s working.

No!

“Misunderstood” by thousands at the same time? REALLY?!

Is this for real

Good lord this guy, Trump said himself which was on every channel find me 11,000 some odd votes to change this 😳,

Are you effing serious? His supporters take his word as gospel. He is to blame for all the destruction caused. He was the instigator for all this mayhem. No excuses! And I'm not an American, just an outsider laughing at your country, thanks to Trump😆

Why the background music while showing the slide/video exhibit by Trump's defence team? I thought it was a movie trailer... That's annoying...

Typical bastard lawyer...... Only hired by criminals.

Good!!

Grasping at every straw possible. Witch hunt, hoax, the devil made him do it. What a pathetic defense! Trump lied about the election, incited s mob to riot and five people died, and it was all on TV. The prosecution rests!

Nope

ajdukakis Trump could have made that clear right the moment the violence started.He watched it happen on TV!

Lol. Disdain?

Goog!

Stop talking out your ass. Blah blah

Covering up lies with more lies never works.

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.
