Trump Impeachment Trial Winds Down With Closing Arguments

impeachment charges against him are a politically motivated attempt to discredit his presidency — a charge he tweeted again on Monday during the House managers' remarks.

In sweeping remarks, Trump's lawyer Ken Starr quoted Martin Luther King and talked about freedom and justice. Starr is the former independent counsel whose investigation led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. Trump's personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, said that impeachment had always been the endgame for Democrats. He played a video of various Democrats calling for impeachment since Trump's election.

So why aren't any of you reporting on the fact that speeches by Senators were supposed to continue for 4-6 hours today and again tomorrow and vote on Wednesday at 4? Why the change in plans? This is bizarre and something is up.

Look at this photo. Clearly the decision has been made; those particular Republicans never wanted justice, they just wanted to be reelected. Goodbye fairness, goodbye justice, hello gangster-white-house

NPR, Please stop using this stock photo. It’s creepy. He never smiles.

It’s going to be a sad week. Tomorrow night Trump will start gloating during his state of the union thing. Wednesday the vote to declare their loyalty to the king. This the end of this chapter. Stay tuned. . . .

Gdad1 I'd like to see Mitch chased for miles by a rabid groundhog.

You mean they are actually going to work?

Look at that evil smile. Ugh. Forever in History MoscowMitchCoverUp

What an absolute joke this whole thing has been.🙄

Friends, I have never felt so sad to see how broken our government really is, and these republican senators are going to ignore their sworn oaths and allow Trump to further tarnish the office of POTUS.

Why bother? GOP won't let anything get a vote except to exonerate corrupt realDonaldTrump CorruptGOP

The Senate Republicans will then vote to subvert their own power, wonder if they realize this. They are also voting for the most absurd and laughable arguments made by the president’s defenders.

GOPComplicitTraitors

Mistrial, based on the facts that there was no evidence or witnesses allowed.

The Republicans are up Schiff's creek without a paddle, yet realDonaldTrump is UNFIT and the Republican Senate intends to ACQUIT! SAD. RepAdamSchiff GOP SenateGOP RemoveTrumpNow ImpeachmentTrial

Legislative session that’s a joke they haven’t done legislation in three years..100’s of bill dying a slow death there

put that thumb down, Mitch. We know where it has been.

You mean it’s time once again for MoscowMitchTraitor to ignore everything the house has passed?

'House bills ain't gonna ignore themselves!'

censureTrump

Nice smile. What is he gaining personally for selling out his constituents, our democracy and the country entire.

The end of the Republic and Republicans couldn't be more happier.

Time for AmbJohnBolton to speak! Your Patriotism and country should be your priority at this time.

I wish someone would wipe that smug smile off his corrupt face.

Maybe we should stop referring to this process as a 'trial' since no witnesses were called and the GOP 'jury' refused to be impartial before opening statements were even heard.

Minority Rule...

👎🏻

The dems reek of desperation. Their rhetoric made them sound like they were off their meds and paranoia has taken hold.

Biggest flaw in Senate's argument to let the voters decide is their actions to have no witnesses/docs mean voters don't get to decide based on FACTS & evidence. That's problematic. Voters can't subpoena these things. SenateGOP failed. Acquit or not, we the ppl need the truth!

Call the witnesses, Imbeciles

Hey AmbJohnBolton stop being a coward and tell all, you are assisting in the cover up every day that you stay silent

A legislative session where senatemajldr will get absolutely nothing done.

Moscow Mitch is a national disgrace

Watch live: Senate impeachment trial of President TrumpWatch live coverage as Chief Justice John Roberts presides over the U.S. Senate’s impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. The two articles of impeachment charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. When the inevitable, and wholly predictable, horror show ensues now that Donald Trump answers to no one, has no checks on his power, remember the GOP could have stopped it but didn't have the courage, moral backbone, or regard for their own constituents. Closing arguments in a trial where the jurors were bribed with donations and threatened with a primary challenge. A trial with no witnesses and documents and the outcome sealed before the trial began. What a joke. In other news Senate Republicans insist Kansas City is in Kansas and see no need for any further evidence.

Stephen King calls for Susan Collins' ouster from the Senate following impeachment trial'Hey hey, ho ho, Susan Collins has to go,' the best-selling author tweeted. Why because she disagrees with him I agree. Throw her and Romney out Collins is in an impossible situation, if she votes to convict she will lose to a primary challenger, if she votes to acquit she loses in the general. Her best play now is to vote to convict and switch parties. It's her only play now to survive politically.
