I see what they're doing...

[cilla4progress]

according to Lawrence, the House Managers are getting all the docs in anyway, in their opening argument.

Amirite?

[The Blue Flower]

1. Exactly

They've been doing it since the proceedings began. Brilliant.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. Why didn't McConnell anticipate this when he got his process agreed to?

Maybe the collective braintrust that makes up the Republican House/Senate Trump Defense Team are too inbred to consider all of the angles?

[BigmanPigman]

18. I know, right?!?

I was thinking that the Dems should just go ahead and get as much info out as possible and that's what they are doing.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. The process has not been agreed to yet.

[bpositive]

2. I'm not getting what you mean.

How are they getting in the docs?

[Glimmer of Hope]

6. They are citing documemts, testimony and video clips during their arguments.

[bpositive]

10. Thanks

[Stallion]

13. Making their Case to the American People

[ramen]

26. Pretty goddamn slick.

Man, am I proud of our side of the aisle..

[Karadeniz]

7. Not all the evidence gets in, but the Dems show important evidence every time they read from

A House deposition, an email they got, and the videos of House testimonies. Very well planned by the House mgrs.

[bpositive]

12. Thanks

[dem4decades]

3. And getting them on the record with votes for specific witnesses.

[bdamomma]

8. They are

documenting everything. Get it in B&W.



I hate McConnell that fucking smirk on this face.

[mcar]

4. And they are doing it masterfully

[cilla4progress]

9. As desperate as this presidency makes me feel,

Jefferies, Schiff and the Dems make me so proud. I'm holding onto that.

[kentuck]

11. Mitch is squealing like a pig...

They are tired and they want to go home. But Mitch is not in control right now. The Democrats can put forth amendments all night long.

[2naSalit]

15. He made this bed...

now he can lay in it, but he can't sleep.

His fatal error is thinking that his worm corrupted mind he can outsmart the House Managers. I think he lost that gamble.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Yes, the evidence they present as reasons for the subpoenas is being read into the record...

[Hoyt]

16. I like how they are handling things, considering the situation.

[djacq]

17. Pam Bondi is the female version of Jim Jordan.

She gave a 3 minute rebuttal.

Sad.

[ancianita]

19. Exactly. He probably wrote her pitiful stuff.

[H2O Man]

20. I note that

Bondi and Jordan have never appeared in the same room.

[dchill]

21. A hard five minutes.

[DeminPennswoods]

22. Dems have gotten a lot of evidence, some of it new

like the Parnas interview and the FOIA documents, into the record.

This is the headline from Yahoo! News:

Schiff mauls Cipollone on impeachment trial's first day

[MFGsunny]

23. + 1000 n/t

[renate]

24. oh, how that gladdens my heart

I don't usually read Yahoo News, but I've noticed that most of their headlines have been un-Fox-y.
