Like all things Trump, the #ImpeachmentTrial hovers somewhere between high drama & high farce. The Senate just broke out in laughter b/c Trump's personal injury lawyer demanded 100 witnesses be deposed, and in his office in Philly, dammit. Senators now voting on witnesses. 
#Breaking 5 GOP Senators Vote to Call Witnesses. There will be witnesses at Trump's #ImpeachmentTrial.
First it was 4, then Lindsey Graham changed his vote.

Meanwhile, McConnell will acquit Trump w/ or w/o witnesses. He also says that Republicans can vote their conscience. Which just highlights how Banana Republican the GOP is. They have to be told to vote their conscience by their leader who has none. #ImpeachmentTrial
I was working earlier this am so got into the Inciter-in-chief's defense late. I started watching in time to hear his lawyer whine about "partisan" superior legal experts dismantling his "free speech" argument, claiming they are "threatening his law license." I laughed out loud.
Anyone working on behalf of Trump in his White House, in his administration, and even on his defense team, should be unemployable for aligning with that monster.
So as to this defense, it is interesting that none of the Supreme Court cases that Van Der Veen cited have been about impeachment. The role of the Supreme Court is irrelevant to how impeachment trials are held in the Senate.
Impeachment trial takes - Thread.
This video from don the con’s lawyers is a pathetic attempt, a false equivalency. Big difference: OUR people didn’t take the word “fight” literally after speeches. OUR ppl didn’t storm the Capitol & have an insurrection. #GOPCorruptionOverCountry

You #GOPCowards think none of us citizens have been watching this thing. We have. In fact, we’ve been watching for years - closely. We understand your gaslighting & projection games. We don’t fall for it. #ImpeachmentTrial2
Welp, my impeachment bingo board is already full. Just an hour in to Don the Con’s legal team’s propaganda.
#Thread: Smoking Gun for Impeachment: Proof Trump’s Call to March on Capitol was a Crime #ImpeachmentTrial #ImpeachmentTrial2 #CapitolInsurrection gregpalast.com/smoking-gun-fo…
Here is the smoking gun...
Trump’s GOP defenders say that Trump merely called for a march to the Capitol, a legal act of protest.
Except for this: it wasn’t legal. And Trump and his team knew it. gregpalast.com/insider-white-…

During Wednesday’s trial, Rep. @StaceyPlaskett laid out the evidence our team first broke in @ConsortiumNews & on the @Thom_Hartmann Program: The sponsors of the Jan 6 rally at the Ellipse promised, in writing, there would be no march on the Capitol.
