Title: LIVE THREAD: Impeachment 2.0
Post by: mystery-ak on February 08, 2021, 02:31:39 pm
Here we go again..Please post all Impeachment news here


What is Trump charged with?

On 13 January, the US House of Representatives voted by 232 to 197 to impeach Trump over “incitement of insurrection” after his supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn November’s election result. 10 Republican representatives voted to impeach him, making it the most bipartisan presidential impeachment in US history.

Prosecutors place the blame for the violence squarely on the former president. Five died, hundreds were injured, members of Congress and staff were terrorized and the seat of US government building was left with “bullet marks in the walls, looted art, smeared faeces in hallways” – all in a bid to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory. “President Trump’s responsibility for the events of 6 January is unmistakable,” the prosecutors charge in an 80-page memorandum submitted last week.

They will argue that his actions in whipping up the crowd with unfounded accusations of election fraud “endangered the life of every single member of Congress” and “jeopardized the peaceful transition of power and line of succession”.


What is Donald Trump claiming in his defense?

Trump has had trouble assembling a legal team. His usual personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, had to recuse himself because he also gave a speech at the event where the former president is accused of fomenting insurrection. Trump then appears to have fallen out with his first legal team, which was led by Butch Bowers.

Now led by lawyers David Schoen and Bruce L Castor, Trump’s team issued a thinly argued 14-page document last week that said his speech did not amount to a call to storm the Capitol and that his trial was unconstitutional anyway, because he has left office. Trump will not testify personally.


Who presides over the trial?

Trump’s first impeachment was presided over by chief justice of the supreme court, John Roberts, as set out in the constitution. However, as this trial is of a former president, 80-year-old Patrick Leahy, the longest-serving Democratic senator – who holds the title of president pro tempore – will preside. It will be prosecuted by a team of nine impeachment managers from the House, and the whole Senate was sworn in as the jury on 26 January.



How long will the trial last?

How long the trial will take is not known, but most people believe it will be much shorter than the three-week trial the last time Trump was impeached over his actions over Ukraine, when he was accused of abusing his power and obstructing Congress.

It is unclear yet whether the Senate will vote to allow the legal teams to call witnesses in person, although the trial is highly unusual in that the jury are witnesses, as senators were present in the Capitol and were forced into hiding as the mob invaded the very chamber where the trial will be held. The prosecution team are expected to include video footage and eyewitness testimony from members of Congress while building their case.

Will a second impeachment bar Trump running from office in 2024?

Not necessarily. If he was found guilty, there’s no immediate punishment, since he is no longer in office. The Senate could, with a simple majority vote, bar him from holding federal elective office in the future. With the Senate split 50-50, and the vice-president, Kamala Harris, holding the casting vote, that could pass quite simply.

There is a constitutional argument to be had that the Democrat-controlled Senate might try to do this anyway even if Trump is found not guilty, by invoking section three of the post-civil war 14th amendment to the US constitution. That forbids anyone who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the US from holding federal office, but that is likely to be the subject of a significant legal dispute should it arise.

Schumer, McConnell finalizing deal on Trump impeachment trial
By Jordain Carney - 02/08/21 11:18 AM EST


Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) are nearing a deal on the framework for former President Trump's second impeachment trial. 

Under the deal, which hasn't been finalized, the trial could wrap up in roughly a week if no witnesses are called.

"We are finalizing a resolution that's been agreed to by all parties ... that will ensure a fair, honest, bipartisan Senate impeachment trial," Schumer said at a press conference in New York, adding that additional details would be released on Monday.


The Senate would start the trial on Tuesday with up to four hours of debate and a vote over its constitutionality, according to a person familiar with the talks. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) forced a similar vote late last month, which failed but underscored that there aren't the votes to convict Trump. Republicans have been pledging to revive the issue during the trial.

Opening arguments wouldn't start until Wednesday at noon, with both the House impeachment managers and Trump's legal team getting 16 hours to present their case. 

In order to comply with a request from one of Trump's attorneys the trial would not be conducted on Saturday, but would reconvene on Sunday afternoon. Typically impeachment trials run every day of the week besides Sunday but one of Trump's attorneys, David Schoen, asked Senate leadership to agree to pause the trial from 5:24 p.m. on Friday until Sunday in order to observe the Jewish Sabbath.

The Senate could also hold a debate and vote on whether or not to formally call witnesses after both sides present their case if House impeachment managers request it. Senators are also expected to get time to ask questions. In previous trials, the question-and-answer session has lasted two days.

"If the managers decide they want witnesses there will be a vote on that. That's what they requested. They weren't sure they wanted witnesses. They wanted to preserve the option," Schumer said.


The time for both sides to present their case is truncated from the 24 hours given during both Trump's first trial and the Clinton impeachment trial. The impeachment managers and Trump's lawyers were given three days to present their case last year.

The burgeoning agreement comes as senators have signaled that they want a speedy trial that could be wrapped up in roughly a week. The Senate had been scheduled to leave town on Friday for a one-week recess, but senators expect to have to yield back at least some of the break.

Though Republicans blamed Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack, Democrats are not expected to be able to get the 17 votes needed to find him guilty of the one article of impeachment. The House article accuses Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors for “willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States.” 

Though several GOP senators, including McConnell, haven't said how they will vote, senators cap the number of GOP senators who could potentially vote to convict Trump at five. That's the same number who voted with Democrats last month against the effort by Paul to declare the trial unconstitutional.

The trial is the first for a president already out of office. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) is expected to preside over the trial instead of Chief Justice John Roberts.

Republicans have seized on an argument that the Senate cannot hold a trial for a president already out of office, even as legal scholars across the political spectrum have dismissed it.

"Is it constitutional? Does the Constitution anticipate a Senate trial of a president who has left office? And I think the overwhelming weight of history and also precedent indicates that it ... is not proper," Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), an adviser to McConnell, told ABC's "This Week."

Debasing the Constitution: Why Chief Justice Roberts is Not Presiding over Trump’s Impeachment Trial

As Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial begins today, not enough attention has been paid to the fact that Chief Justice Roberts will not be presiding.

Senate Democrat Richard Blumenthal, a lawyer, former federal prosecutor and member of the Judiciary Committee, believes the Chief Justice should preside.

Elizabeth Warren adopts the far more aggressive position that the Chief Justice must preside as part of “his constitutional duty.”  For good measure, she adds, “I can’t imagine why a Supreme Court justice would not do his duty.”

A) The final set of briefs are due today from House impeachment managers and attorneus for former President Trump, rebutting one another’s arguments last week.

B) The trial, by rule, is slated to begin tomorrow at 1 pm et. Senators have yet to agree to any trial framework. That could dictate the length of the trial, whether the sides would present evidence and if senators could hear from witnesses.

C) The Senate would have to vote on such an organizational resolution for the trial.  Otherwise, the sides present their opening arguments tomorrow afternoon.

D) There could also be a motion to dismiss the article of impeachment right off the bat, sans an organizing accord for the trial. That would require 51 votes.   It’s possible the Senate could arrange a framework along the lines of what senators agreed to in the trial last year.

E) Arguments for several days. Sets of questions from senators, submitted in writing, and then a “gateway” vote to entertain witnesses and evidence. The lack of an agreement could present a serious operational problem for the Senate.

F) In addition, Democrats are split about moving the trial along hastily and simultaneously holding the former President to account.

G) House impeachment managers could augment the latter by hearing testimony from stricken Congressional staffers, rattled after the 1/6 attack, injured USCP officers or even former administration officials.

H) There is a request from President Trump’s attorney David Schoen to conclude the trial each week by sundown on Fridays because he observes the Jewish sabbath.

I) By rule, without an agreement, the trial is supposed to run six days a week, Monday through Saturday, beginning at 1 pm et.

Democrats say Trump impeachment defense 'wholly without merit'

House Democrats on Monday categorically rejected the legal argument advanced by Donald Trump's defense team, dismissing claims that the former president bears no responsibility for last month's deadly attack on the Capitol.

In a legal brief filed by the nine Democratic impeachment managers, the lawmakers contend that Trump incited the mob of his supporters that carried out the Jan. 6 attack, and said Congress has every right to convict the former president to prevent him from holding high office again.

"The House states that each and every allegation in the Article of Impeachment is true, and that any affirmative defenses and legal defenses set forth in the Answer are wholly without merit," the managers wrote.

However, the smoking gun tweet came that evening but was later deleted. Trump wrote, “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously and viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly and unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love and in peace. Remember this day forever!”

I have to agree with Warren.  Roberts should come out and say that he won't preside, because impeaching a past president IS unconstitutional.  But Roberts isn't doing that., he's letting the trial continue without merit and without being constitutional. He isn't doing his darn job - as usual.

The ramifications for any POTUS, past or present are obvious.

Beijing Biden could be tried for treason if ever a Congress so inclined was sworn in.

Bill Clinton, and former office holder, and not just on criminal charges.

Like I have said many times on many threads,  this precedent would allow us to dig up FDR,  and put him on trial.  His antics did more damage by far than any other POTUS.

In 897, the pope dug up his dead predecessor and put his corpse on trial

What it’s about: One of the strangest moments in both the papacy and the legal profession. In 897, Pope Stephen VI (confusingly sometimes called Stephen VII) claimed the pontiff two leaders prior, Pope Formosus, was illegitimate, and put Formosus on trial for usurping the Holy See. This was only mildly complicated by the fact that Formosus had died a year earlier.

The House of Representatives impeached Trump last month for "incitement of insurrection" related to the January 6 Capitol riot that resulted in five deaths and multiple injuries. Trump is accused of urging his supporters to march to the US Capitol, where they proceeded to lay siege to the building and tried to hunt down lawmakers in an effort to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.

The House transmitted the single article of impeachment against Trump to the Senate late last month. Here's what happens next:

    On Tuesday, the Senate will debate the constitutionality of holding an impeachment trial for Trump, given that he is no longer in office.
    Oral arguments kick off Wednesday at 12 p.m. ET. Each side will get 16 hours to make its presentation.
    There will be a debate and a vote on whether to call witnesses, at the request of the House managers.
    Initially, one of Trump's attorneys, David Schoen, requested the Sabbath (Friday at sundown until Saturday at sundown). The Senate agreed and said the trial would not take place after Friday at 5 p.m. or on Saturday, and would resume the afternoon of Sunday, February 14.
    Schoen later withdrew his request, saying he would not participate during the Sabbath, but that the trial should continue.
    As of Tuesday morning, it's unclear if the trial will continue on Friday night and Saturday due to the reversal.

Trump's impeachment trial will be broadcast live on the major cable news networks and C-SPAN. It will also be livestreamed on YouTube. You can watch below:

Most Senate GOP will gaslight. They don’t wanna focus on merits of impeachment. They know on substance, it’s a solid case.

Trump helped incite an insurrection which lead to deaths and injuries. Period.

Here we go again..Please post all Impeachment news here


What is Trump charged with?

Trump is charged with being a former Democrat donor who turned on his party.



What is Donald Trump claiming in his defense?

That Democrats are destroying the hand that feeds them, and that is is time to start putting America first.


Who presides over the trial?

That's up to the Democrats who are making up the rules as we go.


How long will the trial last?

Hopefully, for two years at the very least.


Will a second impeachment bar Trump running from office in 2024?

Nope.

Impeachment trial: US Senate votes that Trump’s impeachment trial is constitutional
The Senate trial of former president Donald Trump started on Tuesday with a debate and vote on the constitutionality of his second impeachment trial. House managers and the former president’s lawyers took up to four equally divided hours to make the case for or against the constitutionality of Trump’s second impeachment, followed by a Senate vote that passed in its favor by 56 - 44 votes.
Title: Re: LIVE THREAD: Impeachment 2.0
Post by: mystery-ak on February 09, 2021, 10:19:27 pm
What you need to know
- House managers laid out their case for constitutionality on Tuesday. “President Trump was impeached while he was in office for conduct in office. Period"

- Trump’s legal team challenged the legal foundation of his post-presidency trial, and said the proceedings will “tear this country apart”

- The Senate adopted the rules for the trial by a vote of 89 - 11

- The Senate is unlikely to achieve the two-thirds vote required to convict Trump, according to news outlets

The vote is 44-56 again on the constitutional issue. That means that 44 senators are now on record that the trial in unconstitutional. That would appear to make acquittal effectively certain given this threshold vote.

Sen. Cramer Statement on Senate Beginning Second Impeachment Trial of Former President Donald J. Trump
***Click here to download video. Click here for audio.***

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement on the Senate beginning the second impeachment trial of former President Donald J. Trump today:

“Welcome to the stupidest week in the Senate. While Speaker Pelosi sent these backbenchers to tie up the Senate, she sent the rest of the House home instead of carrying on the actual work of the American people. Impeachment is not something we should use flippantly. As a response to her view that President Trump demeaned the office, the House Speaker is now making a mockery of Congress and one of the most serious institutions and processes in our country. It’s disgusting.”

GOP senators criticize Trump legal defense as 'unfocused' and 'weaker'

A number of Republican senators criticized Trump’s legal team Tuesday for lacking focus and making “weaker” arguments than the House impeachment managers on the first day of former President Trump’s impeachment trial.

“Anyone who listened to those arguments would recognize that the House managers were focused, relied upon and trusted upon the opinion of legal scholars,” said Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) after joining with five other Republican senators in voting that the trial was constitutional and should proceed.

“Anyone who listened to President Trump’s legal team saw they were unfocused, they attempted to avoid the issue. And they talked about everything but the issue at hand,” he added.


Cassidy’s vote on Tuesday was a surprise after he voted last month in favor of a motion by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) declaring the trial unconstitutional.

Trump unhappy with his impeachment trial defense after day one: reports
By Sarah Polus - 02/09/21 07:38 PM EST


Former President Trump is reportedly displeased with his legal representation, just one day into his impeachment trial.

Trump expressed frustration with his defense's strategy right out of the gate Tuesday, according to a report in Politico.

"President Trump was not happy with the performance of his legal team in action," a person familiar with Trump's evaluation of the day told the outlet.


CNN reported that Trump and his team were confused by his team's last-minute change in speaking order, and that the former president was "borderline screaming" as attorney Bruce Castor delivered his opening argument, which was criticized by people on both sides of the aisle as rambling.

Castor also said during his comments that he was impressed with what the Democratic representation had presented, a remark unlikely to make the former president happy.

It would not surprise me in the least if Trump isn't being sabotaged by moles again.

Dershowitz has commented, but what about the whole proceeding being unconstitutional??

.....Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, who defended Trump at his first impeachment trial but is not on the team this time, said Castor’s meandering speech “wasn’t even an argument, it was just some musing.”

.....Dershowitz said the remarks that followed from Trump attorney David Schoen were “excellent.”

Schoen blasted the proceedings as the “political weaponization of the impeachment process” and slammed the trial as “a chance by a group of partisan politicians seeking to eliminate Donald Trump from the American political scene.”

Dershowitz called on Trump’s team to “focus on the First Amendment” going forward, saying, “That’s the argument I would be making if I was there.”

Hannity even asked Schoen if they will be on top of it the next few days.

Laura wondering why Castor spent so much time on praising the Senate and House managers...I asked the same questions..

Trump impeachment lawyer Bruce Castor shrugs off criticism
by Haley Victory Smith, Breaking News Reporter |
 | February 09, 2021 11:02 PM


An impeachment defense lawyer for former President Donald Trump is defending himself against criticism that his speech to the Senate was not particularly effective.

Bruce Castor, who delivered the defense's opening argument on Tuesday, expressed that he's not putting much stock in those critiques.

"You put 100 people in the same room, you’re going to get 100 different opinions," he told the Wall Street Journal.

Trump was impeached by the House on an article of incitement of insurrection in connection to the Jan. 6 Capitol siege. His legal team argues that his speech is protected by the First Amendment and that a former president cannot be subject to the impeachment process under the Constitution.

Donald Trump rages at his defense attorneys after 'rambling' opening speech praising Democrats and admitting he lost election caused Republican Bill Cassidy to vote with Democrats for trial to go ahead - but ex-president is still on track for acquittal

    The Senate will move forward with its trial against Donald Trump on Wednesday
    The upper chamber voted 56-44 on Tuesday evening that impeaching a former president is constitutional
    Six Republicans joined the 50 Democrats in deciding to progress the proceedings forward, despite Trump's almost assured acquittal in the Senate
    Those who voted with Democrats were Republican Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney ,  Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Pat Toomey and most surprising of all, Bill Cassidy
    Cassidy previously agreed with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and 43 other Republicans that impeaching an official who is no longer in office is against the Constitution
    The second impeachment trial against Donald Trump kicked off with Democrats playing a video about the January 6 MAGA riot at the Capitol, focusing on the violence and featuring Trump's words
    'You ask what a high crime and misdemeanor is under our constitution? That's a high crime and misdemeanor,' Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin said
    Trump attorney Bruce Castor started off his defense of the former president with a rambling soliloquy that veered between name-dropping senators and flattery
    'You know, senators of the United States, they are not ordinary people. There are extraordinary people in the technical sense, extraordinary people,' Castor said 
    Trump will take a break from golfing this week to closely follow his second impeachment trial on TV from his Mar-a-Lago residence
    The trial could run straight through the weekend – with a potential conviction vote on Monday; Trump is expected to be acquitted
    Trump was put off when Castor tipped his hat to the Democratic managers' presentation, calling it 'well done'

Deliberate or not @XenaLee  --- all that's being talked about is them.  They're panicked with good reasons.  They felt the power to destroy them sitting in that chamber.  I half expect them to recommend conviction in their closing remarks.

And look at what we're NOT talking about ....

Are we discussing where the Senate gets the authority to determine the Constitutionality of anything?  No.  Are we discussing the new, diminished role of our Supreme Court?  No.  Do Americans know jurors sitting as judges is a new and troubling precedent?  No.

Are we discussing the Marxists' doctored evidence?  No.  Are legal analysts explaining that the video would not be permitted in a court of law because it is an emotional appeal and does not present a shred of evidence that the President was involved, in any way, in this so called "insurrection"?  No.

My prediction:  This trial is just a stepping stone for the Marxists to refer this to the DOJ for criminal investigation and trial.  I expect Donald Trump will be convicted.

The United States of America has crossed the Rubicon.  There is no coming back from this.

Whether or not they sucked doesn't really change the fact that the whole thing is a farce. And after Lin Wood, Guuliana and the "kraken" lady I don't doubt that they sucked. Trump doesn't seem to be able to pick an effective legal team, which is surprising given that he makes sure he runs everything by his lawyer.

You sound like you have little appreciation for what is happening in WDC and at its direction to anything and anyone on the former President's side.  But I suppose you're handling the transformation of our government into a Marxist state the only way you know how.  I hope it remains a comfort for you.

2/ You might be surprised to learn that one of Trump's three lawyers is a personal injury attorney, a registered Democrat and Biden donor, who called Trump a "bleep crook" in 2019. He even sued Trump not once but twice in 2020.

Trump's impeachment lawyer van der Veen 'called him a f***ing crook'
Michael van der Veen, 57, is one of three lawyers representing Trump at his impeachment trial. On Tuesday it emerged van der Veen had disparaged Trump, donated to Democrats and sued him.

If you look objectively at what the rabid, radical leftists/Marxists are doing to, not just censor, but to attempt to separate from American society, anyone that dares to not tow their commie party line...(anyone meaning Trump supporters who are, not coincidentally, mostly Christians)....

one can clearly see how that "Mark of the Beast" will occur in the not too distant future, as prophesized in the Bible.   It is literally unfolding before our very eyes as they roll out their justification for the same type of demonization as was done against the Jews in Hitler's Germany.

One of Trump's impeachment defense attorneys recently sued him

by Katherine Doyle, White House Correspondent
February 10, 2021 12:15 PM


An impeachment lawyer for Donald Trump sued the former president in the run-up to the 2020 election — and in a separate case described him as a “f---ing crook.”

In a lawsuit filed in August, Pennsylvania lawyer Michael T. van der Veen accused Trump of claiming mail-in voting was “ripe with fraud” despite having “no evidence in support of these claims.” He charged that Trump’s voter fraud claims and 11th-hour changes to the U.S. Postal Service would suppress votes.

Emails from van der Veen’s firm at the time lambasted Trump and Pennsylvania Republicans for their attempts to “unfairly and illegally intimidate voters.”

Through all the fancy hollywood prepared biased film clips, and power points there are two simple facts that can't be overlooked and basically trump any double and triple speak rhetoric being spewed:

1- The House dims have narrowed their scope to one charge of "Incitement of Insurrection" (sans January 6th Capitol event, since no so called other evidence of violence can be attributed to Trump's speeches.

2- POTUS Trump very very specifically stated quote in that January 6th speech as follows- "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

Every democrat, and republican that votes for conviction are basically subjuagting the justice system into a political witch hunt and lynching.  There are 75M people watching as the lying depsicable MSM paints this picture of deceit and trickery. 

If former POTUS Trump is convicted it will have ramifications on the same level of Fort Sumpter.

Time Magazine Gushingly Profiles The Successful ‘Conspiracy’ To Rig The 2020 Election
The Federalist, Feb 9, 2021, Joy Pullmann

Time magazine's article intones the 'Trump is crazy' mantra over his claims of a 'rigged' election while
telling anyone who reads it how powerful people conspired to rig the 2020 election.

<Snip>

Trump was treated like he had three heads for complaining the election was “rigged.” In the infamous speech he gave as violence broke out in the U.S. Capitol the day Congress certified the Electoral College votes, Trump said, “This year they rigged the election. They rigged it like they’ve never rigged an election before.” The left and some Republicans like Rep. Liz Cheney have insisted Trump’s strong claims like this incited an “insurrection.”

Yet Ball makes exactly these kinds of claims in the Time article, and goes on to substantiate them. It’s really hard to tell if the article is just a gloating bat flip, a horrifying attempt to radicalize more people among Democrats’ political opposition, or evidence the left believes Americans are so deadened under Democrat control they will not react to such public revelations of conspiracies to betray American self-governance.

The article is above all a striking work of doublespeak. It intones the “Trump is crazy” mantra at Trump’s charges of election-rigging while telling how powerful people conspired to rig the 2020 election. Ball documents a massive election-manipulation “conspiracy” among the nation’s rich and powerful. She shows an amazing level of contempt combined with ignorance about how someone who believes in self-government, as opposed to rule by oligarchs, might take this information.

Election Tampering
The conspiracy’s “work touched every aspect of the election,” Ball writes. “They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time.”

Democrats Argue at Impeachment Trial: Capitol Riot Wasn’t Caused by ‘One Speech’

Joel B. Pollak10 Feb 20217
3:03

Democrats argued Wednesday that the Capitol riot was not the result of “one speech,” despite the fact that the article of impeachment passed by the House of Representatives last month claimed that President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 incited it.

Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), one of the House impeachment managers, spoke during the second day of argument in the impeachment trial of the former president, arguing that the riot came after weeks of Trump’s criticism of the 2020 election.

“This attack did not come from one speech, and it didn’t happen by accident. The evidence shows clearly that this mob was provoked over many months by Donald J. Trump,” Castro said.

The argument appeared to undermine the central basis of the impeachment, which is that Trump’s speech on January 6 at the Ellipse specifically incited the mob at the Capitol.

Based on the one charge, unless the house dim kiddies can somehow tie DJT to some planned event of the House excursion, then there is no option but acquit.  Furthermore....   Evidence around the "planned Capitol incursion" brought up by WaPo, et. al hasn't even ben brought up yet.

Common sense says....   Kind of hard to be convicted of inciting a insurrection or riot or insurrection on January 6th , that was a premediated event planned 2, 5, 10 , whatever days earlier.

Those 4 things are true, but to the DEMS and all anti-Trumpers they don't care as long as they hang him and he can no longer hold political office.  Next they will destroy him by making sure he doesn't have a dime left to his name; then they will go after each of his family members.

You have to admit.... the left has done a really good job at coordinating, organizing and presenting the lies.   If I didn't know better (that they were lying)... I'd be impressed and ready to convict Trump, myself. 

Every trial reaches this point because the prosecution goes first to present its case.  One hopes the defense team is ready to present their counter argument.

Outside of Ashli Babbitt, the only fatalities seem to have been due to medical conditions, and mostly among "rioters". Windows were broken. Big deal. All I ask is our side give it no more weight than they did the "Summer of Love" riots, which killed from between 30 and 50 people.

Same thing is true of The Steal. Its now obligatory to preface any commentary with "well I think the president's position on the election was ill advised". The rats stole the friggen election. I wish those opinion leaders on our side would just say it & stop allowing the left to intimidate them into accepting their context as a starting point for discussion every time.

I was hoping that he had acquired a 'team' of really good lawyers. Things are not looking up in any way, shape, or form for the former President.  I would have thought that he would have been diligently searching for a team, but perhaps he had difficulty finding good lawyers who were willing to stick their necks out.  I'm wondering why Dershowitz isn't defending him?

My other thought is banks have shut down his accounts and he's already strapped for funds?  Rumor had it that he didn't pay Giuliani.  Ivanka certainly should have the funds to help?? I'd think that the Trump family would have some legal guru connections somewhere.

Likewise, things are not looking up in any way, shape or form for this country.

Praying that the Good Lord will stop the evil that continues to prevail and has a stranglehold on this Republic.

@XenaLee  this is a really hard pill to swallow. Almost a year ago, the pandemic was in part inflicted upon us by our current president and the President who bent over backwards and moved mountains to save millions of lives, enforced our borders, halted migration from areas of known terrorists into our country, boosted our economy, lifted millions off of unemployment, displayed patriotism we haven't seen in decades, renewed an alliance with Israel, etc., is now on trial for impeachment after they booted him out via a stolen election.

Sorry, but that is just nuts. Some "insurrection". Sheesh, I saw more violence during racial unrest in High School. The only shooting done in this event was done by POLICE. The person shot was the smallest person in the room. Big threat. And Congress running around like ninnies going on about how scared they were only indicates that they had reason to be afraid of the people they've been screwing over, not that there was an actual physical threat to any of them.

Any insurrection worth the name would have weapons. These people didn't have jack.

Even the Hutus had machetes, when they went on that little rampage in Rwanda. (800 thousand dead, in a small country). This was a protest that got out of line, but nothing like an "insurrection", with the predictable effect of shutting down opposition to, and investigation of, The Steal. All the theatrics any people who did not want to face the grim thought of election tampering could want, and someone they hate to blame it on.

It's crap, in a word.

I don't care how much you may like or dislike Trump, the idea of impeaching someone who is already out of office is nonsense, it's only a vindictive grandstanding by the Dems, and the acts of capitulation by the so-called Republicans on the Hill are nauseating. I pray the whole bloody lot rot in Hell.

Impeachment trial descends into chaos over Lee objection
By Jordain Carney - 02/10/21 09:32 PM EST

The second day of former President Trump's impeachment trial ended in chaos after an effort by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) to remove remarks by the House impeachment managers from the official record sparked widespread confusion.

After the House managers announced they were wrapping up for the day, Lee stood at his desk on the Senate floor and asked to strike comments made by the House lawmakers that related to him.

"Statements were attributed to me moments ago by the House impeachment managers. Statements relating to the content of conversations between a phone call involving President Trump and Sen. Tuberville were not made by me. They're not accurate, and they're contrary to fact. I move pursuant to Rule 16 that they be stricken from the record," Lee said.

If one of Trump's lawyers plays the unedited Fine People Hoax video to debunk it in front of America, will the networks cut away or let the public know how badly they lied to them for years? Finally, excitement!

Any Senator perpetrating The Big Lie called The Fine People Hoax should be impeached. That’s not a joke. Republican Senators are worthless if they let that go.

Inside the Senate chamber:

Trump’s 2016 rivals Rubio, Cruz, and Graham watched intently as video documented Trump’s 2015-2020 remarks making light of or justifying political violence.

Graham, Rubio, and Cruz then left and didn’t watch Lieu’s presentation from the floor.

A) GOP LA Sen Cassidy says he wants to hear Trump’s attys address Trump saying election was rigged. Cassidy: “I still have people back home, who swear that the Dominion machines were rigged. Even though, even though different news outlets have printed retractions apologies

B) Cassidy: People felt as if they had no recourse because their vote was being stolen. The President built that story. So how do you defend that how you describe that. Because again, people will still be telling me..Dominion voting machines.

C) Cassidy on if he’s convinced Trump was responsible for the Jan 6 attack: Ask me after I heard the defense arguments. There's a proverb: your mind is persuaded but you should hear the other side. Somewhere in Proverbs 10. But I don't know the exact verse.

Ted Lieu is explaining why this impeachment is currently happening. Because Trump won’t bend the knee. Won’t cave to the struggle session. Won’t pretend the election was real when it wasn’t.

GOP senators met with Trump's impeachment team to talk strategy
By Jordain Carney - 02/11/21 08:47 PM EST


A group of GOP senators met with former President Trump's legal team on Thursday to discuss strategy as they prepare to present their opening arguments in the impeachment trial.

Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) were spotted entering the meeting, which took place in a room near the Senate chamber that Trump's team is using as a workspace.

Cruz told reporters after the meeting that they were talking strategy for the defense's opening arguments on Friday.


"We were discussing their legal strategy and sharing our thoughts," Cruz said.

Asked to elaborate, Cruz added that they were talking "in terms of where the argument was and where to go."

Report: ‘At Least a Dozen’ Republican Senators Walked Out of Impeachment Trial

Joel B. Pollak12 Feb 20211,249

At least a dozen Republican Senators reportedly walked out of the Senate impeachment trial on Thursday, after lead House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) tried to argue that years of Trump rallies were incitement to violence.

National Review reporter John McCormack reported several Republican Senators left the chamber during part of Raskin’s presentation, and missed the subsequent argument of Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), who argued that Trump was a future danger.

Big mistake.  Republicans need to insure that this impeachment trial drags on for the next two years.  Since the onus has been flipped upside down - that Trump is guilty until proven innocent, I suggest over the course of the next several years we call each one of 75 million witnesses to testify that they were not incited to commit violence by Trump's Jan 6 speech.

It's hilarious... how damned hypocritical the rats are.... when their rhetoric is so much more "violent" than Trump's has ever been.   The problem is.... lamestream media will never show this, and leftist morons don't have the interest or the attention span to actually watch the proceedings today.

Counsel  Van Der Veen just denied that the President's speech was an "incitement to resurrection." In fairness, Sen. Schumer referred to the "incitement to erection." But some senators are likely more concerned with Trump's resurrection than other  misplaced alliterations.
I think we can prove Schumer's statement false.
The Democrats have had a hard on for Trump since he announced candidacy.

Senators will soon pose written questions to the impeachment managers & defense counsel in the impeachment trial. The questions are submitted in writing on cards like these and read on the floor aloud. Both sides give their answers verbally on the floor

@Right_in_Virginia

Why would it come as a surprise to anyone that people who grew up admiring the Soviets would put on a "Soviet Show Trial" once they have the power to do so?

It would be remarkable if they DIDN'T. It is what they have been programmed to so since birth.

Maybe we should pass a law to limit the number of times the socialists can bring impeachment charges against the same president in the same term??

GOP senators met with Trump's impeachment team to talk strategy
By Jordain Carney - 02/11/21 08:47 PM EST


A group of GOP senators met with former President Trump's legal team on Thursday to discuss strategy as they prepare to present their opening arguments in the impeachment trial.

Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) were spotted entering the meeting, which took place in a room near the Senate chamber that Trump's team is using as a workspace.

Cruz told reporters after the meeting that they were talking strategy for the defense's opening arguments on Friday.


"We were discussing their legal strategy and sharing our thoughts," Cruz said.

Asked to elaborate, Cruz added that they were talking "in terms of where the argument was and where to go."

You just KNOW that Cruz and Lady Lindsey have to be conflicted. They are two of the brightest,if not THE brightest US Senators,and both want to run for President in 2024.

They can't be seen to attack or fail to support Trump if they want to keep their election dreams alive,and neither can they support him "too much" because Trump coming out of this thing squeaky clean practically guarantees he will run again in 2024 if his health holds,and I seriously doubt either would be foolish enough to run against him.

How can anyone take these clowns seriously?  With all that needs done in this country, one thing is clearly apparent, the representation of the American people is such a low priority that they can waste weeks on this bullsh*t.  That goes for both sides.

I say until these clowns resume representing the American people, this republic is dead.  And the longer it remains dead, the less likely it will come back to life any time soon.

Trump lawyers say former president did not know Pence was in danger at the Capitol

Former President Trump's defense team on Friday denied that Trump knew his then-vice president, Mike Pence, was in danger during the Capitol attack on Jan. 6.

"The answer is no," Michael van der Veen said flatly on the Senate floor. "At no point was the president informed the vice president was in any danger."
 
The remarks came in response to a question from two Republican senators, Mitt Romney (Utah) and Susan Collins (Maine), who had broken with most in their party earlier in the week in supporting the trial's constitutionality.

The question of what Trump knew about the severity of the attack — and when he knew it — has emerged as a major issue in the Senate trial, where Democrats have accused Trump of provoking last month's attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.


Pence had become a target of the mob after he'd refused Trump's entreaties to reject the Electoral College results, which formalized Joe Biden's presidential victory.

At 2:24 p.m. on Jan. 6, Trump tweeted at Pence, pressing him to find the "courage" to reject the election outcome — a power the vice president does not possess.

That tweet came roughly 10 minutes after Secret Service agents had already whisked Pence from the Senate floor, fearing for his safety after the rioters had breached the building.

Notice the Democrats pressing the case sound like they are bleating like sheep, almost begging you to believe their fevered hallucinations. Compare to Trump's lawyers' voice control that tells you they are giving it to you straight, and we're done here.

GOP Rep. Herrera Beutler urges 'patriots' to talk about Trump call

GOP Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler said Friday that she was told then-President Trump initially sided with supporters storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, with the Washington Republican urging "patriots" to come forward and share what they know about a key Trump call.

Herrera Beutler, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted for impeachment last month, issued a statement Friday night confirming key details of a CNN report that said Trump had told House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) on Jan. 6 that rioters at the Capitol were "more upset about the election" than the Republican leader.

“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," Herrera Beutler said in her statement.


"McCarthy refuted that and told the president that these were Trump supporters. That’s when, according to McCarthy, the president said: ‘Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,'" the statement added.

They are claiming 440,000 dead so they could blame Trump, what's a few more? (HCQ/Azithromycin/Zinc works at early onset, as does Ivermectin/Doxycycline/Zinc). It's just another crime against humanity, and they should own it. Keep in mind the only person intentionally killed was shot by police.
With George Floyd (died of fentanyl overdose) we knew the names of all four officers within 48 hours, and Minneapolis (Lake Street) was looted and burned, among other places.

A) Much of Congress is scripted. We usually know the outcome of things. Sometimes day in advance.  But today, a huge, O. Henry surprise. And where this takes the second impeachment trial, no one really knows.


B) The tectonic plates on Capitol Hill just shifted significantly. With the Senate vote for witnesses, this could potentially extend the trial for weeks. Both sides will need to depose witnesses, summoned on both sides as well as open the gates to “discovery.”


C) Republicans really played into the hands of Democrats. A 50/50 vote, along party lines, by rule, would have lost. But Republicans used the math against Democrats today, joining them to make sure they stretch out the trial.


D) This is NOT want Democrats wanted a a few days ago. They wanted to put the the trial to bed and get on with passing a coronavirus bill in the coming weeks. This could disrupt all of that.


E) A Senate trial is supposed be a political forum. That’s what the Founders intended. A Senate impeachment trial is not like a traditional courtroom. But by shifting it to issuing subpoenas for witnesses, this tilts the field more to the traditional legal realm.


F) That’s the turf of Trump’s defense counsel team of Mike van der Veen, Bruce Castor and David Schoen. So, where this goes, no one knows. The Senate vote stands for now. This likely means, unless there is a separate agreement to forge ahead, no vote to acquit or convict today.

Joe Manchin told me he’s heard there’s a deal on the organizing resolution - also he believes there should be an equal number of witnesses on both sides.

Sen. Angus King also said there should be an equal number of witnesses on both sides

A) Graham: It is my firm belief that the House Managers are trying to investigate the case AFTER it was brought to the Senate.  It is better for the country to go to a final vote.  However, if the body wants witnesses, I am going to insist we have multiple witnesses.


B) Graham: We can start with Speaker Pelosi to answer the question as to whether or not there was credible evidence of pre-planned violence before President Trump spoke?


C) Graham: Whether Speaker Pelosi, due to optics, refused requests by the Capitol Hill Police for additional resources like the National Guard?  Her testimony is incredibly relevant to the incitement charge.”

Trump seems to forget that Paul Ryan handpicked Kevin McCarthy.

He’d be wise to remember that.

On the campaign trail Trump used to recite a poem that ended, “you knew I was a snake when you let me in.”

But he never followed that with his own alliances and personnel choices.

I had also posted a video of him dressed as such with others putting on Trump shirts talking about getting ready to descend on the Capitol.

The video and info is out there...

The DEMS are re-calibrating their thoughts right now on how to hang Trump.  The evidence against them is damaging.  ABC last night played Pelosi's hateful language.

The DEMS need to figure a way to spin all of this and they are the Masters of that Game.

The fix (their fix) is already in re: the McCarthy/Trump alleged phone conversation.   Bank on it.

Heard horn guy's lawyer last night - horn guy is saying he was there because Trump wanted him there.  Horn guy was at another Trump rally, different state, and Trump liked him.  Horn guy was called to be at this one.

Today, House managers wanted witnesses to get the testimony of the person who spoke to Trump during the riot when he (Trump) knew Pence was in danger, and he did nothing to stop it - rather, immediately after the phone call, Trump went to twitter and slammed Pence again.  Rioters were getting those tweets.   Again, it is a miracle Pence is alive. After the riot, Trump did not speak to Pence for five days.  No message from him to see if Pence and family were okay.

So, this morning, the phone call was admitted as evidence; that is what the House managers wanted; they had to have that vote to get a witness statement into evidence.  They did not want witnesses in person, just get the phone message into evidence. 

At this time, Pence and wife are living with family.  They have no house as they were living in the governor's mansion, then Pence was VP.  They will buy a house in the summer.  Pence gets gets two Secret Service men for six months after being VP, however, that can be extended if necessary.

If you’re mad that the public won’t get a full accounting of what happened 1/6 without witnesses, there’s ONE PERSON you should all be sending your comment cards to.

She made a strategic choice to go without sworn testimony. And to focus on incitement over dereliction of duty.

Behind-the-scenes details here about talks:

-- It was truly a last-minute decision to call witnesses after House Dems debated until 3am whether to call witnesses
- It was ultimately a huge risk, they concluded. A deal to submit statement was safer route

That was their next plan....looks like they are going to follow through.

According to the U.S. Senate archives, the amendment was passed by the Senate on June 8, 1866, and ratified two years later. Besides granting citizenship to all persons “born or naturalized in the United States,” including formerly enslaved people, and providing everyone with “equal protection under the laws,” it also banned those who “engaged in insurrection” against the U.S. from holding any civil, military or elected office without the approval of two-thirds of the House and Senate.

What power does this have.... or asked another way, can they do this?  He's not guilty.

Since when did actual guilt count for anything?  Just watch, that's the next story that comes out of Nancy Pelosi's House.  14th Amendment.

They aren't going to debate any of that phony Covid stuff.  Their first attempt to throw him out of politics failed, so there will not be much of a delay to make the next move.

They are pivoting to Plan B:  The 14th Amendment.  That's right...Trump is the 21st Century Jefferson Davis.

Shampeachment 2.0 failed. The problem the Dems will face if they try the 14th Amendment absurdity is that they will be in court, where incitement to riot or insurrection will have statutory definition. If their absurdity is not laughed out of court, they will have to present evidence ... that meets the statutory definitions of incitement.

The Dems should be too smart to "go there", but for well over a year I've consistently under-estimated the hysteric quality of the Dems' hatred and over-estimated their intelligence. So the Dems may well be sufficiently hate-driven and dumbed down by their hatred to try this 14th Amendment absurdity.

As our friend who was there has told us, there were buses at the Capitol long before the Trump rallygoers had finished listening to the DJT speech and made the trek to Capitol Hill. (See this post (http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,424650.msg2376375.html#msg2376375)). Who was on those buses? Who were the people who quick-stepped like a military unit onto the Capitol grounds? Were the flashbangs a signal for the Antifa types to commence the assault?

Johnson confronts Romney after vote on witnesses
By Scott Wong - 02/13/21 12:06 PM EST


Two Republican senators — Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Mitt Romney of Utah — got into a confrontation on the Senate floor Saturday after Romney voted with Democrats to allow witnesses in the impeachment trial of former President Trump.

Reporters sitting in the Senate gallery said they saw a “visibly upset” Johnson turn to Romney and point at him after the vote.

The two men then got into a back-and-forth, with Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) trying to play referee.


Voices were raised, and at one point Johnson was overheard saying he blamed Romney. 

Johnson is a staunch Trump ally who argued the defense “eviscerated” the Democratic prosecutors and “blew their case out of the water.” Romney, a frequent Trump critic, voted to convict Trump on one count during last year’s impeachment trial. In the second trial, Romney voted both that the impeachment trial over whether Trump incited an insurrection on Jan. 6 was constitutional and for witnesses to be called.

Johnson on Saturday flashed his anger at reporters who later asked him about his exchange with Romney. 

"Those are private. Those are private conversations," Johnson said.

Well, there is that small matter of the immunity a sitting President enjoys.  I don't think he can be charged with crimes alleged during that 4 years.  I'm sure there are plenty of dire crimes the Rats can cook u from before he was President.  If the 14th Amendment challenge passes, or not, this will be the next game.

I believe Trump knows a lot about many people; so many want him to just go away. In reality, Trump had no one who was willing to help bring them down.

Trump welcomes impeachment acquittal, says his movement ‘has only just begun’
Fox News 8, Feb 13, 2021

Read the whole statement below:

Quote
I want to first thank my team of dedicated lawyers and others for their tireless work upholding justice and defending truth.

My deepest thanks as well to all of the United States Senators and Members of Congress who stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country.

Our cherished Constitutional Republic was founded on the impartial rule of law, the indispensable safeguard for our liberties, our rights and our freedoms.

It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree.  I always have, and always will, be a champion for the unwavering rule of law, the heroes of law enforcement, and the right of Americans to peacefully and honorably debate the issues of the day without malice and without hate.

This has been yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country. No president has ever gone through anything like it, and it continues because our opponents cannot forget the almost 75 million people, the highest number ever for a sitting president, who voted for us just a few short months ago.

I also want to convey my gratitude to the millions of decent, hardworking, law-abiding, God-and-Country loving citizens who have bravely supported these important principles in these very difficult and challenging times. 

Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun. In the months ahead I have much to share with you, and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all of our people. There has never been anything like it!

We have so much work ahead of us, and soon we will emerge with a vision for a bright, radiant, and limitless American future.

Together there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

We remain one People, one family, and one glorious nation under God, and it’s our responsibility to preserve this magnificent inheritance for our children and for generations of Americans to come.

May God bless all of you, and may God forever bless the United States of America.

-Donald J. Trump

They're all placing their bets now, all-in.

Let the fools jockey for position.  No GOP seat is safe.  No state with a GOP governor is safe; that's their next target. FL being their #1 target.  DeSantis is a popular governor and that is where the Trump families reside.  Shut down FL and destroy its economy and prevent any of his family from holding political office.

McConnell is not stupid. He knows what he is saying is a bald-faced lie yet he still says it.  The best explanation is he's hopelessly compromised by the Deep State and/or the CCP.  Let's hope he will hang with the rest of them.

Why is @LeaderMcConnell on the Senate floor still bashing President Trump?


@Right_in_Virginia

Because he sees Trump as a threat to the sweetheart deals he cuts with the Dims to enrich him and his family,and because he is a serious threat to McConnell's death grip on power.

Trump represents a threat to him as much as Trump is a threat to the Dims. Don't forget,he and the other RINO's have a profit-sharing agreement with the powers that be in the DNC,and any threat to the Dims corruption is also a threat to HIS corruption.

Selffish self-defense. It really IS as simple as that.

I think most of Congress is so messed up that they don't know which end is up.  They are so untrustworthy that they don't trust each other and are paranoid of outside entities like Soros, BLM and Antifa who control them. 

Their fear of Trump is because he was uncontrollable while in office and that fear has carried over as they now fully realize how critical it was to destroy the integrity of the ballot box; otherwise they would have lost.  Frankly I think it's ridiculous to have such fear of a man who will be 78 years old next election.  Trump is full of energy right now, but he's not going to keep up this pace forever.  Everyone eventually reaches their limitations.  They will work on destroying his family's wealth next -- everyone but Jared, who I still think is a DEM player.  You watch and see ... Ivanka will run for Senator in '22 and she and Jared will run in 2024.

???  So @Victoria33 it makes absolutely no difference to you that what is going on now is unconstitutional??  That Roberts declined tor reside?  Trump has left office.  Trump did NOT call for rioting, and he did NOT call for an assault against Pence. 

Again, this is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.  The Chief Justice is NOT presiding.  Trump is NOT in office.  So voting to remove a man who is no longer in office is absolutely absurd.

I'm sure Karen, Mike and family will be just fine.

Also, most importantly, realize that the rioters consisted of BLM/Antifa and this attack was planned in advance by the DEMS and members of the GOPe -- including Pence.  He was never in any danger.

And let's not forget the most important fact of all.  There has not been a single shred of evidence introduced that indicates that Trump incited violent sedition.  Not a single shred.  Even the Dems tacitly concede this as they try to replace the impeachable offense at the last minute.

According to the U.S. Senate archives, the amendment was passed by the Senate on June 8, 1866, and ratified two years later. Besides granting citizenship to all persons “born or naturalized in the United States,” including formerly enslaved people, and providing everyone with “equal protection under the laws,” it also banned those who “engaged in insurrection” against the U.S. from holding any civil, military or elected office without the approval of two-thirds of the House and Senate.[/u]

Highly ironic that they would go the 14th Amendment route considering that Democrats have opposed equal protection for over 150 years.

The part that really sucks is that Trump has been helping these same people out for the last 6 years.  McConnell would have been gone in 2014 had not Trump bailed him out with some campaign cash to win his primary.  Again and again and again, Trump has included these GOPe schmucks as key players in the process from Priebus  and McDaniel on down.  And this is how they repay him.

The main reason I did not vote for Trump in 2016 is because he basically ceded all GOP power over to the National Committee during the primary season, killing off all Conservative grass roots opposition.   I hope he and everyone else can now see the root of all evil within this political party.
