1. What a bunch of BS

Blood boiling already

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Dumb question: Is this Schoen or Castor?

I want to say Schoen.

Are we going to get Ken Starr to come out and whine about how impeachments have gotten too political again?

[underpants]

5. Michael van der Veen

A late start. He was added a few days ago.

[nolabear]

7. Well, at least his suit fits.

[underpants]

11. I noticed that first too

Seriously

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. Ah, okay.

Was he the one who called Trump a crook?

[underpants]

14. Yes I believe so

[Lars39]

3. Thanks, underpants!

[UpInArms]

4. Is this a joke?

This guy is delusional and is just making shit up.

[woodsprite]

13. And he's talking like he drank molasses.

Guess that counters Schoen’s angry troll imitation.

[nolabear]

6. Hoo boy. They're really equating questioning 2016 legally with inciting a riot?

If that was a concern they’d have had far more than one article of impeachment.

[Lars39]

8. Russia!

Imagine that

[EarlG]

17. Yeah... it seems like there was slight difference between 2016 and 2020, what was it, let me think

Oh yeah -- an angry mob of violent Democrats didn't storm and occupy the Capitol Building while chanting "Hang Joe Biden" and "Hillary sent us," injuring 140 police officers and leaving multiple people dead.

[MustLoveBeagles]

62. I know we get upset when our candidates lose

I don't recall that we've ever stormed the Capital per said candidates instructions, threatened politicians, destroyed property and attacked and killed cops.

[Mersky]

10. Morning y'all! Will join you for the worst round of gaslighting we've yet experienced.

And that’s saying a lot. I approve of your lead emojis in the subject line.

Just need a few more mins...

[Lars39]

15. Right out of the gate!

Glad to see you back, Mersky!

[Mersky]

31. Hi, Lars39!

Was a fitful night in my house. Need more coffee before I can truly engage the shitshow being perpetrated against the American people today.

[Lars39]

35. Well, beware....I've had my quota and it's not helping lol

[fishwax]

12. I'm watching democrats legally object and noting that no armed crowds are invading

It certainly proves that Hillary Clinton didn't incite a riot. But I don't really see how this validates the point that trump didn't incite a riot.

[underpants]

16. LAW AND ORDER CAMPAIGN AD

💩

[Laelth]

38. That's our best argument, I think.

Objection—relevance. The defense is trying to prove that neither Hillary Clinton nor Elizabeth Warren incited an insurrection when they used alleged “fighting words.” This clearly proves that Clinton and Warren are not guilty of such crimes, but neither of them is on trial today. If anything, the evidence proffered by the defense shows that Donald Trump DID, in fact, incite insurrection when he used alleged “fighting words” on Jan. 6, 2021.



-Laelth

[Lars39]

18. Never been any mob like or violent behaviors! Lol

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. What's with the ethereal background music whenever Trump speaks on video?

This is just...cheesy.

Might as well superimpose a halo over his head while they're at it.

[UpInArms]

21. Vomitous

[underpants]

22. The leader of Antifa was arrested? There's a leader of Antifa????

[orleans]

37. that's what i thought. i want a name n't

[underpants]

51. Looks like "Activist John". Long thread but he appears to be their plant.

Link to tweet

?s=21

[The_Counsel]

20. These are not Van der Veen's Words.

This is a speech/essay written by Trump/Cruz/Graham/Hawley. I'm not fooled.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

23. Those of you playing the Antifa drinking game,...

...Drink!

It won't be your last.

[underpants]

26. Lafayette Square was the people's fault

[badhair77]

24. About 3 minutes in I turned it off.

Then I saw the thread about Jason Miller bragging that Graham, Lee and Cruz were helping with the defense and my blood pressure cannot take any more.

[KewlKat]

29. Same here...as soon as I heard it's a witch hunt...

[UpInArms]

25. Just rewrote the clearing of Lafayette Square

🤦🏽‍♀️

[underpants]

28. Yep. There was a breach?

How about the arrest of the leader of Antifa? That was a keeper.

[live love laugh]

27. "DUHfence" .... 🤣

[underpants]

30. 😁

[RANDYWILDMAN]

32. He is even doing Trump's Hyperbole, what a joke

and that fake propaganda was awesome for fans who can't and won't think for themselves

This is a cover job nothing more nothing less.

What a fucking farce !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lars39]

33. This guy uses the same fakey tone of voice a sociopath.

[JohnnyLib2]

34. Who was objecting/interrupting?

Sorry, coming in late.

[nolabear]

36. AAAAAAAND we're in Portland. Note who he's citing.

Presley, Kamala, Nancy...note a pattern here?

[underpants]

40. This guy's going to give lawyers a bad name.

Just saying.

[Lars39]

39. He's trying to put the Democrats on trial

[nolabear]

41. It's time for healing! Unity! Rise above!

From what? What is it we need healing from, again? Who damaged us? Speak up; I can’t hear you.

[live love laugh]

42. Is he a defense lawyer or elected politician? "Rise above..." my ass

[orleans]

43. defense "over the next three hours" -- only three? nt

[nolabear]

46. Yep. That's what they say. It's all going to be bs.

[Lars39]

47. I thought it was four originally

Already feels like we’re 3 hours in

[DeminPennswoods]

53. Surprised they can go that long!

What it says is they have no defense for Trump.

[Lars39]

44. Constitutional cancel culture!

[UpInArms]

45. That was some of the most dishonest lawyering

I have ever witnessed.

[MN2theMax]

48. Here comes Mr Dry Mouth! nt

[Lars39]

49. Schoen is up

I may hit the wine early today

[IcyPeas]

50. vitriol.... vitriol..... he started it

that comes from trump.

[C_U_L8R]

52. This "defense" is intended for an audience of one

What fluffery. This screed is the same crap his flaks have been crapping out all along. Blame the accuser. Attack attack attack. Enough. Let's get this criminal in front of a Grand Jury asap.

[Lars39]

55. Gotta get it all in the official record first

[MFGsunny]

64. Tragically, it's ALWAYS about an audience of one!

Help me out here, please ::

did one of these DUH-fence lawyers actually say this morning that DTrump was not guilty of “incitement of resurrection?”

Which would be true, of course. MO-FO only does IN-surrection.

[PRETZEL]

54. Interesting question,

and I don't know the rules of the trial, but Shoen indicated that the defense weren't provided the "new" evidence that the managers presented.

Is he correct to make an objection on this?

[Lars39]

56. Both sides agreed to rules.

Republican didn’t think to include it?

[PRETZEL]

61. I know they agreed,

just wondering on the veracity of this claim.

But you are right, the defense would have had access to the same video of the security footage that the managers had.

[Lars39]

63. Remember what the footage showed, though...the attack

They wouldn’t want to show that

[PRETZEL]

70. absolutely nt

[Tommymac]

76. This is NOT a Criminal Trail - evidentiary rules do not apply.

Just sayin'

[nolabear]

57. Oh NOES!! Reports!

God, they are tap dancing so hard.

[UpInArms]

59. His failure to understand the constitution

Is vast ...

[Wawannabe]

58. Thanks underpants

For the link. But most of all your threads this week!
When I couldn’t watch these helped keep me in the know.




PS: The defense SUCKS!

[nolabear]

60. They're feeding talking points to the GQP and attacking the managers.

This is disgusting.

[My Pet Orangutan]

68. Whatever this is, it is not 'lawyering'.

[nolabear]

65. Oh. My. God. CALVARY was a call for Jesus??

That is the funniest damn thing I have seen in a long time!

[senseandsensibility]

67. Is it worth tuning in for the comedic value?

I suppose SNL will be funnier if you've seen the original.

[nolabear]

72. It's infuriating but very clumsy gaslighting.

Jaw dropping in fact.

[Mersky]

66. Good grief... he's holding up clip art as eViDeNcE

Substance be damned.

Is such a shallow display we’re watching.

[UpInArms]

69. Now he's rewriting Charlottesville

Smarmy lying mfer

[Lars39]

71. Thing is, his full statement was shown

[nolabear]

73. So now they're repeating their previous "inciting" comments?

Yeah, how many attacks on democracy and the Capitol came out of that?

[Grammy23]

74. The "what aboutism" and finger pointing is just getting my dander up. Not good for me.

So the sound is muted and I’m going about my business. I might dive back in later. I can’t wait for the Q&A portion of this circus.

At least the second guy is not a complete bumbling fool like Mr. Word Salad, who I noted today had a written text he was using. No riffing this time. LOL I’m pretty sure he got an earful for his piss poor performance earlier in the week.

[UpInArms]

75. I have yet to hear any of these people say "rough them up" and

I will pay your lawyer fees

[orleans]

77. apparently dems were gonna fight back and fight like hell and fight fight fight

so that must be an equalivency to inciting crazies over the edge to storm the capitol

[russiamommy]

78. I don't think he likes Wlizabeth Warren

[Vinca]

79. I last about 35 minutes and then I figured I must find the Nobel committee web site and learn how

to nominate Donald "Mahatma" Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Do you believe this shit????????

[orleans]

80. so their stratagy is to just rerun all these clips over and over and over and over? nt

[nolabear]

82. Ikr? This is pitiful.

[nolabear]

81. Three hours if the same fifteen minutes over and over.

[UpInArms]

83. The are just looping tape of congressional people objecting

No senators ...

This is stupid

[Lars39]

84. Easy way to kill time and stoke his base
