As the first public impeachment hearings got underway, government prosecutors presented closing arguments in the trial against veteran political operative Roger Stone.

The first public impeachment hearings got underway Wednesday on Capitol Hill, bringing with them a fresh threat to derail Donald Trump's presidency.

Prosecutors argued Wednesday that Stone's alleged crimes came as a direct result of his efforts to save the embattled president. As questions surrounding Trump's conduct toward Ukraine have taken on the national attention in recent months, Stone's trial illustrates how the lingering accusations brought to light by the special counsel's office remain relevant.

Bruce Rogow, an attorney for Stone, said it was"absolutely false" to suggest that Stone lied to Congress as part of an effort to protect Trump, arguing that"this is what happens in campaigns -- they look for opposition information."

Looking for update on Epstein story. You know this will NEVER end now, right? 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

fxp123 Stone didn't offer much of an affirmative defense, did he? Seems like the jury shouldn't need more than a few hours to come back with a verdict?

Is Matthew Dowd sexist? He said-Elise stefanik is a perfect example of why just electing someone because they are a woman or a millennial doesn’t necessarily get you the leaders we need.

Nobody cares. Russia hoax is going to result in pardons.

A couple of lying pals in trouble with the American people. Should be interesting to see the outcomes of both. Both totally busted. One the president, the other not.

This Trump administration and all his homies just keep going to jail

Stone is the most unbelivable fool I've ever saw. What weird man....He won't do well in prison. lol.

Sorry islam law lied everything

YOU WILL NOT CONVINCE US TRUMP DIDN'T BREAK THE LAW. WE ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE & NOT ONLY DO WE BELIEVE THE DEMOCRATS, BUT WE BELIEVE YOU ARE BLATANTLY LYING! THERE IS MORE PROOF THAN HEARSAY, WAY MORE!

Hey Republicans, Quit Speaking For All Americans! We're smart enough to understand that just because Ukraine Eventually got the money, doesn't mean Trump didn't abuse his power by delaying it till he got caught. Or that it's only hearsay because the other side refuses to testify.

What a HUGE BUST

DrainTheSwamp MAGA LOL
