If Trump's team doesn't call those close to Trump who could help exonerate him - Pence, Meadows, McCarthy, Tuberville, Don Jr, Stephen Miller, Stone, Flynn - it means that they can't actually exonerate him. https://twitter.com/danielsgoldman/status/1360621466627305476
This witness thing is a big, big problem for Trump.

Why can't his team produce a single witness to exonerate him? https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1360626154818965505
If there is evidence Trump was not trying to incite the crowd to attack the Capitol, produce it peeps. A single email, conversation, memo, something.

Why can't team Trump produce exculpatory evidence, witnesses?

Because it/they don't exist. https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1360630849000132610
Again, why isn't the defense calling Rudy, Pence, Meadows, McCarthy, Stephen Miller, Don Jr?

Any one who could say definitively that the President is innocent, had no desire to disrupt the vote, incite the crowd, that in fact he just wanted to.....do, what exactly?
Extending the trial by even a few days (Senate is in recess next week, can do depositions then) is a big problem not just for Trump but for his lawyers who already are in professional jeopardy for the incredible and repeated lies they told on Friday: https://twitter.com/SenWhitehouse/status/1360440149163843586
Yes, extending the trial even by 10-14 days is a big big problem for Trump and McConnell: https://twitter.com/rgoodlaw/status/1360634689187373057
The more evidence which comes out, the more likely it is the former President will eventually be prosecuted for what he did on Jan 6th.

In this segment the great @glennkirschner2 explains what Trump's criminal liability might be. https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1360602042503430156
Pence's team was talking to reporters last night, clearly objecting to how Trump's lawyers described what happened.

How much more will they reveal in the next 10-14 days?

Yikes, Donald. https://twitter.com/jdawsey1/status/1360358177179660289
