Good morning from Washington.
On the road for my birthday, I’ll be covering closing arguments in the Senate impeachment proceedings. It will be a memorable one.
To riff on Mark Twain’s teaser for his lecture tours, the trouble begins at 11 a.m.

Also follow my @CourthouseNews colleagues @MMineiro_CNS, @JackRodgersCNS and @ByTimRyan—@BBuchman_CNS, whom you also should be following, will be back with us soon.
Holding the fort back in New York City, where Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman and company have a pre-trial hearing this afternoon, is my SDNY colleague @jruss_jruss—whom I will be joining back home soon.
@jruss_jruss Starting out the birthday morning the right way: with bagels brought down from my New York City home.
@jruss_jruss Today's closing arguments are about to begin, as the proceedings begin with prayer.
@jruss_jruss Rep. Jason Crow is up first.
Quoting Daniel Webster, Crow says: "It is fortunate that there is a Senate of the United States," hearkening back to the hope that it might act as a check on power.

@jruss_jruss Crow: "Today you have a duty to perform, with fidelity, not without a sense of surrounding dangers..."
Acknowledging "it shouldn't be easy to impeach or convict a president," Crow adds: "But it is in the Constitution for a reason."
