Sen. Ted Cruz says negotiations "going on right now" to still end the trial todaySen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, confirmed that there are discussions underway in which the impeachment trial still wraps up today, even as the Senate just voted to call witnesses in the impeachment trial.
In what John King described as"bluster and bullying" by some GOP senators, Cruz told reporters that it is very likely Trump’s team calls House Speaker Nancy Pelosi because they want her to testify about when she knew there was a threat at the Capitol and whether she was involved in a decision to not beef up security prior to Jan. 6. Cruz said he did not think Trump should be forced to testify.
Cruz described the House Managers call for witnesses a “hail Mary” and said the only reason the managers are making the call for witnesses is because of “leftist Twitter.” He outlined that even if witnesses are called, it will not change the outcome of the trial. He said it is most likely only 55 senators will vote to convict, “plus or minus 2,” which is not near the two-thirds majority needed for conviction.
I feel sorry for the majority of the USA people. They have been screwed by Trump then the chance of getting some payback the repoblecans screw them again. He's a self absorbed criminal who seems to keep getting away with murder. Wtf. Your repoblacan government has failed you WTF
See how Museveni's military bites Ugandans They must STOP KIDNAPPING UGANDAN
Your tweet is a day late and a dollar short , just like your news organization
When do they start putting Democrats in handcuffs ? Starting with the lizard Queen np.
I met Hazel a few times over the years and she is first class! Best wishes!🍷
God judgement is coming for donald j Trump and all of us
If republicans seriously let him get away with this, it should be a huge learning lesson for an future election, they cannot be trusted to protect the constitution of America.
No need for witnesses, Republicans made it clear that they stand behind Trump their criminal Master no matter what,it is better to shut the Impeachment down and deal with the Republican criminal politics in the future,be Alert of Republican EXTREMISTS in de Senate and the House🤔
Whether he ia guity or not seems to depend on which news u watch
Now they can get back to the reasons why black folk put them in office...!!! White folks FIGHT using fake narratives to sustain their corporate alliances..White politicians are all about money and power !!! Democrats and Republicans...!!!
0-2 .000 avg.
Go Raskin.
This is such a made-for-tv bullshit shitshow by this majority of Democrats! THEY are the ones that should be ashamed of what they continue to do! Look at all the violence they supported throughout the summer months! Will stop at nothing. Take a look at your own NY gov’s deaths!
Why can't Van der Veen say a word with more than two syllables with out slurring his speech He sounds 🥴 🥴 🥴 drunk.
Trumps lawyers are arguing the wrong point. The capial was under insurrection !
Opinion: Trump viewing the crowd should have made a speach on the importance of a peacefull transfert of power that as citizens of the USA celebrate democracy occuring in the senate; instead.....
Listening to Trump's lawyer's closing, this guy doesnt speak the truth.He lies about everything. He would twist every witness' words. DT & his peeps never care about truth.I've never seen anything like it in my life.When did complete lies become ok in the law? In trial?
Trump defense team WHAT A JOKE!
Trump lawyer seems to forgot Giuliani's call for a 'TRIAL BY COMBAT'
Some folks still don’t get it...acquittal is inevitable, but inciting a mob shouldn’t be allowed without some repercussions and it tarnishes Trumps failed presidency even more. An infamous history dooms legacy.
Why did they bother with this farce fiasco🤷🏻♀️They knew he was going to be acquitted yet they wasted energy, time on HITLER2. Leave him to time, he can’t escape the grave👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Pre-President Cadidacy Questionnaire : 1. Have you ever caused a resurrection? 2. Have you ever raped? 3. Have you ever interfere with a presidential voting process? 4. Have you shared government secrets? 5. Do you promise to share illegal activities monies with QTrumplica
Hey bud, the dang man isn't president anymore, git on with your life
Waste of time and money
You cant settle with GQP.
Clown 🤡 show
Bring on the DOJ he can’t run again if he’s a convicted felon
That the Republicans would rather support a liar and insurrectionist says a lot about their integrity. To acquit Trump will be their swan song and will come back to haunt them.
Disgraceful, so tired of democrats caving to the GQP. It may not have change the outcome, but the world certainly would have seen witnessed the truth. I totally despise republicans...my God what will history have to say
Joe Biden
The theater is closing so soon?
This is dumb as hell
Infertility are you a man politics ask
wow...really?
Spineless
NatashaChenCNN Weak.
They all said Trump incited them but Trump remains innocent.Covid is not a hoax but this trial is. happypresidentsday
I‘m so disappointed. Wtf? Why?
Why
Democrats caved again...
Almost had a real trial now its back to being a joke...it's embarrassing to be an American
Putting the final nail in the coffin back in the box. Let's see how that works out.
How to I explain this to my students for the next 30 years? Why even have impeachment at all if there will never be truth or justice? This shouldn’t be a game.
Incompetent! Impotent! Cowards!
Pathetic. One Congresswoman had more guts than virtually any man in leadership in the Senate. The Dems hung her out to dry. So much for the Dems having a backbone.
Oh I think there should be a committee of investigation on 6 January and what happened on 6 January and prove that Donald Trump incited the interaction RepRaskin and other said fight like hell at least they didn’t call for an insurrection and encouraged it
nancys clown show the smart ppl....lol
Cowards!!
The congress R's do not want to know the truth. Puppets, all being pulled by strings in McConnell and Macarthy, both who know the truth!!! History will remember!
This was the BIGGEST mistake the House Managers could have made while 'history is watching' and Democracy is STILL under attack. This is bullshit! This will happen again and it's on the Republicans just as much as the House Managers now. RepRaskin
Great. /s
Good. There’s more important things to do right now.
What a joke! 100 crooks in the same room🤷♂️
so acquittal will be today. Victory for seditionists, insurrectionists, Trump (AGAIN). QOP should not even have the right to vote on acquittal or conviction, because they are anything but impartial! And they took an oath, which means diddly squat to any of them! Sickening
So voting on witnesses... and jurisdiction was meaningless. Talk about disenfranchising voters!!! This is the insurrection.
Question: The Reps reject this Senate procedure as unconstitutional. Why can’t the Supreme Court decide this question?
Nooooo
SenRickScott SenRubioPress VoteToConvictTrump
RepRaskin folded like a cheap suit.
What kind of trial has no witnesses, what kind of trial does not have the defendant testify himself. What kind of trial is so devoid of justice. An American trial.
The more I watch this mocked trial, where half the jurors are enablers and help the defense. I feel as if they are insulting our intelligence. This is not justice for the dead and injured Capitol police. This is not justice when Jurors claimed they won’t convict GuiltyAF
WhatHappenInThailand
Dems address the due process issue and have Trump's verbatim reaction to the insurrection read into the trial record. A double win and a humiliating blink by the weak Trump legal team. Plus, Dems salvage their legislative agenda by not wasting any more time on Trump. Well done!
