Thank you, @RepRaskin, for Impeachment Managers’ POWERFUL #openingarguments for #impeachment #2. Weeping.

“People died on that day.”
“Eyes were gouged out.”
“One officer lost 3 fingers on that day.”
“One officer was speared by a flag he was defending.”

GOP Senators, It is not too late to save your souls. Respect the dead—who died protecting you. Do not hide your eyes. Do not suppress the truth. Do not mask the truth. Do REMEMBER. Do help our nation heal. Do say “Yes” to ACCOUNTABILITY.

GOP defense is weak. Meh...

Claiming trial is about retribution. It is not. It is about #Accountability.

Defense says Senators are committed to Constitution. “Yes!” Those who demand accountability to the Constitution are actually committed to it.

The defense... #ImpeachmentTrial

Conviction is not disenfranchisement of Trump’s voters. THEIR VOTES WERE COUNTED. Trial is about DT’s ACTIONS not his voters. #ImpeachmentTrial #AccountabilityMatters #GOP

Trial will not DIVIDE America. We ARE divided. It will heal us. How?
1. Evidence will bridge narrative gap. No common future without common memory.
2. Accountability will signal the #RuleOfLaw has not died. NO ONE is above the law.
3. #Governance Matters

#ImpeachmentTrial

Did defense just say “Anglo-American” jurisprudence would never countenance this process? Then contrasted with action by Jewish @RepJerryNadler. Wow.
