All that great evidence and its so totally wasted on the GOP. Laurel and Hardy Inc. could have been reading the phone book. A shit show.

It's the precedent that matters.

Let’s start a Stop-the-Steal movement now for a possible GQP win in 2024. According to Republicans, people can storm the Capitol Building incited by a POTUS with impunity

'You can't entice what's already going to happen, ' said Trump's lawyer. Trump, POTUS, summons people to DC. He's warned some of them plan to attack Congress. And Trump, POTUS, makes no DIRECT effort to tell them not to do it. And that's okay, according to SenateGOP.

What happens at impeachment will determine new standards. Same people voting maybe some wanting rules for themselves.

Looks like America is now in the hands of the Catholic Inquisition !

That's not a trial.

If you ever wondered what it must be like living in Communist China, watch the impeachment trial. You won't like it you know.

Jamie continued a Democrat standard in 2017 when he challenged the Election Results.

Very dishonest person!

The other team unmasked them

He's not president anymore. So basically this is just another waste of taxpayers hard earned money. Seems they could find a better way to waste out money.

Please put witnesses on the stand. A few who should be are the ones who claim Qanon inspired them and the ones who claim they were invited by the former president. Oh they are to busy paying legal fees trumpus promised he would.

Anyone that thinks this is a real impeachment is just a gullible idiot. The Chief Justice isn’t even presiding over it 🙄

You’re right, RepRaskin. So finish the job and CallWitnesses. The people and history have a right to know.

How many Republicans are owned by Trump? So sad

Very well said!

I didn’t realize what a treasure we’ve had in RepRaskin He is brilliant, eloquent and his kindness is all encompassing. Lucky us. ❤️

Denial in the face of overwhelming evidence, that is what it is.

FACTS: On Jan6'21 during US Capitol Trump mob attack: ❌EX-PRESIDENT TRUMP: Delighted. LOVED♥️THE TRUMP MOB & called them🚫Patriots. 🆚 👮‍♂️OFFICER HODGES: DCPoliceDept SCREAMING IN AGONY as he was CRUSHED in a doorway during the Capitol riot

If this was a true trial, it would be presided over by an actual Judge not partisan pundits.

Mrs. Plaskett is doing an incredible presentation of the events that lead up to January 6, 2021. Keep it up! You are a role model for any girl and can look up to. People are having trouble explaining to our kids what this really is in America. White Supremist not re-elected?

its pretty obvious from trump's actions and words on Jan 6th he incited the violence, and its sickening that republicans still stand by him and wont convict. SHAME ON THEM. Trump seems to get away with everything all the time , even a coup d'etat!

Not one vote will be changed by this futile exercise. I do wish it would continue. The more Congress is tied up, the less time they have to bung things up. After this ridiculous crap I'd think the Senate would be in recess for 6 weeks. 🤞

Yeah, like boob girl should talk.

Since the elected Republicans are throwing the blame back on Trump's supporters and letting them fall on the sword. As the defense is saying, he was a citizen and should not be impeached. I hope he can be sued in civil court by these families who lost loved ones and were injured.

This woman said “ everyone in here is responsible that we won’t become “SLAVES” 😩😩😳 what the hell is this woman talking about

TigrayGenocide

In what world is a defense counsel supposed to blame their own client?

would you please stop calling donald president, he's former president. but of course if you want to get technical or even political correct, he's never been a president! 🤔 MikePenceShouldTestify

Furthermore her record proves she will step on anyone regardless of color, religion, party, ideology etc. to ascend the throne of power. She is a sellout for whatever betters her on social and economic status... but the forest isn’t visible because of the trees... sheep

I loved the way she shot darts at the Republicans with her eyes.

Has anyone looked at how many people this young lady incarcerated as deputy district attorney? It is appalling at the numbers and yet she claimed to be a sister to the black community. Just like KamalaHarris she is responsible for long sever punishments of black Americans

And his big mouth (small looking really can’t imagine how he can pleasure that Melania) exacerbated it.

pretty much no accountability on trump part man just pointing fingers. when it was him who enraged his base to attack our leaders of government. this dude literally kicked back in the oval office while his people attacked capitol police.

I don’t know need the brilliant RepRaskin and his team or the disgraceful Trump defence council to tell me that Trump was responsible or not for inciting the deadly insurrection on January 6th. There’s no doubt that Trump is guilty. TrumpIsGuilty

Well the ongoing alternative reality drug of choice is that Donboy is thechosenone and can never ever do anything wrong or be held accountable for anything bad. Covfefe?

People need to ask who knew what within trump circle to allow what happen on the 6th.

I honestly could not say enough good things about this woman. Her conviction and dedication amazed me! I'm very glad and proud she was on our side! She needs a medal because she is a warrior thank you Del Plaskett

No surprise there

I’ve been watching her this whole trial. This woman is a Badass 👑🥰 she speaks straight facts 💯

Let's Benghazi these complicit Republicans. First pass law making ignoring congressional subpoenas yield automatic 3 mos jail time, then subpoena everyone involved. CallWitnesses RepSwalwell

Just as America wanted to blame the TheDemocrats and co-conspirators about the insurrection of the 2020riots you people have forgotten or hide what pieces of trash you all are! POTUS unity my ass! You all just want to forget the unrest you caused! Print that abc msnbc cnn

Why didn’t Secret Service evacuate Trump if the Capitol was randomly attacked by “non-Trump supporters of many different stripes with bad intentions?” Trump wasn’t concerned for his safety as he happily watched TV. Why was he so confident?

biden supporters are the real insurrectionist with first wasting over 2 years blaming russia to smear obstruct trump, so many rhinos/dems want to continue bush/obama era policy of kill iraq to syria=migrant crisis western countries=refugee program abuse

Maybe you didn’t look at the evidence. It’s enough evidence for my mom dog coco Bannyof4 to convict him!!!

Trumps’ lawyers destroyed the Democrats? How so? The personal injury attorney presented the most inept defense one could imagine. And you say destroyed? Destroyed Asinine comments like yours make me worry about the future of humanity.

True, I saw Trump breaking down barricades and doors.

'When McCarthy finally reached the president on January 6 and asked him to publicly and forcefully call off the riot, the president initially repeated the falsehood that it was antifa that had breached the Capitol,'

She picks her words carefully ..... she is always armed with facts,nothing more.

Of course

- Unfortunately, Trumps lawyers destroyed the democrats today. Yikes. Let’s take this loss like men and get em next time. Salute!
