Questions are likely to start tonight. A few questions for the managers would help clarify some of these issues...
1. You did not give the President a chance to formally respond and did not call witnesses before or after the snap impeachment. You then told us that we should consider due process a "privilege" and not required in a Senate trial, but ....
...shouldn't due process be the expectation of both the Senate and the American people in a constitutional trial? The Senate should consider basic principles of fairness and due process in judging the House case, correct?
2. You referenced the letter of scholars dismissing the applicability of the Brandenburg case to the words of Donald Trump. However, isn't it true that some of those professors believed that the former president's words may be protected under Brandenburg? jonathanturley.org/2021/02/08/the…
3. After the snap impeachment, you had four weeks to call over a dozen known witnesses who could have offered direct testimony on former President Trump's statements and actions during the critical period on January 6th. You did not call any of those witnesses...
... Instead, you want us to rely on media reports and anonymous sources. Why didn't you create a record for weeks by locking in that testimony rather than rely on media reports?
