Even with Acquital, the House Mangers still won because of Jamie Raskin... [View all]

As Lead ManagerJamie Raskin so eloquently stated and laid out for all to undsrstand..." This inpeachment trial is not about Donald Trump. We all know who he is and what he is. This is about all of us and what kind of country we want for our children and grandchildden. What we do in this room will be our legacy."

By laying this all on the Senators in the room, Raskin knows who will do the right thing and who will have the stains on their legacies. Brilliant Rep. Raskin.
