Rep. Raskin begins closing arguments in impeachment trial by quoting what Rep. Cheney said about the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol: 'The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.'

Raskin said that the House Democratic managers offered"overwhelming and irrefutable" evidence that Trump"incited this insurrection against us.""The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President," she said.

"President Trump tried to bully state-level officials to commit fraud on the public by literally finding votes," Raskin said. "Incitement, as we discussed, requires an inherently fact based evidentiary inquiries. And this is what we did," said Raskin, who said that Trump assembled and incited the mob on Jan. 6 and sent them off to the Capitol where they yelled they were invited by the president.Former Rep. Amash: Decision not to call witnesses 'a huge mistake'

Agreeing to this stipulation was a huge mistake by the House impeachment managers. Live testimony is everything at an impeachment trial.

Turns out not to be the case. He wanted troops on the street to keep the peace and was refused. Does this sound like somebody who wanted unrest?

Because they're trying their best to get Republicans to testify on their behalf because their case is weak and they know they are losing! Despite the help from the mainstream media. Whose job is to report objectively not get behind either candidate.

tRUMP = BIG LIE!!!!!!

Heartfelt sentiments mean nothing when you don’t pursue every avenue available to you. Dems should’ve called witnesses but decided to fold instead.

Raskin has been absolutely stellar throughout this trial. The whole group has been fantastic. That said, a team of squirrels would have looked good compared to the goof-group 45 hired.

“Objection”? What, tRumpy’s lawyer thinks he’s in a REAL courtroom, with real rules? 🤣🤣🤣

Why that many people assembled that morning, not knowing the agenda. Trump's largest crowd ever assembled for a takeover. Then he abandoned them. He never secured the capitol but protected the rioters with his free speech.

grinningbamE I’m done.

Rep. Raskin, is giving this nation a schooling on law and evidence on how Mr. Orange cheated, lied and tried to steal this election. How he incited the siege of the Capital - if any Republican in that chamber has a back bone and respect for them selves. Convict 45

If Trump is aquitted does that mean that Blue Lives don't Matter?

He didn’t just lite a fuse , he helped build that ( cult ) bomb ( along with many sitting in republicans offices ) and lit that fuse all by himself.... the very ones sitting on the jury , if they find tRump guilty, they are also guilty.... they need to be removed !!

Livid! Dems caved - lost a golden opportunity to call witnesses and convict AmericasGreatestMistake Unfit TreasonousTrump

Fame means that!

Because he's part of the corrupt rep sen and responsible for this catch 22 by bor calling Senate session back right away! A deliberate attempt to avoid articles of impeach, knowing that 19th would be too late! More obstruction from the man himself!

Of course every trump supporters love sucking Trump’s shrimp smh

Didn't incite it. Moot point. Who cares, he's not going to get convicted. Democrats lose... again haha. They also got caught doctoring tweets and videos haha. Stop voting for these vile lying criminals. Every single democrat voter is naïve.
