House Managers, like prosecutors, began presenting evidence a week later - 7 d later exactly
The defense presentation began on 19 January 1999 & also lasted 3 days
Then members of the Senate, House managers, & President Clinton's defense counsel were allowed 2 days for questions & CX
Under tte rules, all Qs from members were submitted in writing & read aloud by Chief Justice Rehnquist
This portion spanned 22-23 January 1999
I. Lying under oath to a grand jury (4 counts)
II Obstruction of Justice in the Sexual Harassment lawsuit brought by Paula Jones (7 counts)
.
NB A separate motion to dismiss is required for each article
On 26 January 1999 Rep Bryant, one of the House managers, made a motion to call witnesses
NB Sen. dreaded the latter
When the motion was made they chose to take it into private session for deliberation instead of allowing it to be publicly televised
27 January both motions were voted on
The motion by House Managers to call witnesses PASSED 56-44
Defense made a motion to take depositions in private & film them for public presentation
It took 3d to depose Monica, Vernon Jordan, & Sydney Blumenthal
Then came an interesting vote on evidence
I hate treating my own tweets like they are a true text but I may 'thread app' this b/c it undermines a lot of popular & stupid notions abt trial
