Rep. Raskin's opening impeachment trial statement: "Their argument is that if you commit an impeachable offense in your last few weeks in office, you do it with constitutional impunity."
Here is part of the video timeline of what happened on January 6 the impeachment managers just played for the Senate
"No Trump! No peace!"
"If that's not an impeachable offense, then there is no such thing" -- Raskin
Raskin: "Trump may not know a lot about the framers, but they certainly knew a lot about him. Given the framers' intense focus on danger to elections & peaceful transfer of power, it's inconceivable they designed impeachment to be a dead letter in POTUS's final days in office."
Neguse: "If Congress were just to stand completely aside in the face of such an extraordinary crime against the republic, it would invite future presidents to use their power without any fear of accountability."
LOL -- Neguse owns Jonathan Turley
Here is the entire video timeline of the January 6 insurrection as presented by the House impeachment managers
Neguse: "It's hard to imagine a clearer example of how POTUS could abuse his office, inciting violence against a coequal branch of govt while seeking to remain in power after losing an election... what our country experienced that day is the framers' worst nightmare come to life"
Rep. Cicilline displays Trump's January 6 tweet excusing the insurrection, says that given it and other incriminating statements, "it's no wonder that President Trump would rather talk about jurisdiction."
Cicilline: "The danger has not gone by. [Trump's] threat to democracy makes any prior abuse by any government official pale in comparison."
Cicilline on the Republican promises to push false equivalencies during the trial: "That's a gimmick. That's a parlor game meant to inflame partisan hostility and play on our divisions."
"William Faulker famously wrote that 'the past is never dead.' But this isn't even the past. This just happened. It's still happening ... there cannot be unity without accountability" -- Cicilline
Raskin gets emotional recalling how the insurrection happened the day after he buried his son
Raskin breaks down recounting how his daughter told her she doesn't want to come to the Capitol again after she was there for the insurrection
"This cannot be our future. This cannot be the future of the America. We cannot have presidents inciting and mobilizing mob violence against our government and our institutions because they refuse to accept the will of the people" -- Raskin
what ... what is going on
Did Bruce Castor take a wrong turn and end up at the wrong trial?
so, uh, Trump's impeachment trial strategy appears to be to just have folks go out there and wing it like it's an open mic night or something
I challenge you to make sense of what Bruce Castor is trying to say here. This is like the worst college lecture of all time.
huh
Bruce Castor is making Rudy Giuliani look like Cicero
"Nebraska, you're going to hear, is quite a judicial thinking place" -- a real quote from Bruce Castor
even Castor's sips of water are problematic
Here's Bruce Castor admitting that Trump lost fair and square
"I'll be quite frank with you, we changed what we were going to do on account that we thought the House managers' presentation was well done" -- Bruce Castor
