The House Managers hit on Trump's anticipated defense of free speech twice. They must feel that it is his only defense. I think so, too.

They might point out that while Trump incited a riot (which they will claim was not intentional,) the charge before them is inciting an insurrection (which they will claim was not intentional.)

I think this would be splitting hairs. The Defense's job is to give the Repubs a hook to hang their hats on. So, when they get called out on media bytes, they can give a plausible excuse.

I am not only convinced that Trump is guilty, but now I favor his going to jail -- which is not on the table this day. We have to move on to the vote to prevent him from ever holding office again.
