determined to ensure he won’t be reelected this November.
Several of the senators shook hands with Trump’s lawyers after their presentation. The visitors galleries were filled, onlookers watching for the historic proceedings and the rare weekend session of Senate. On Saturday morning, House managers made the procession across the Capitol at 9:30 to deliver the 28,578-page record of their case to the Senate.
Instead, Republicans argued that there was no evidence that Trump made the security aid contingent on Ukraine announcing an investigation into the Bidens and that Ukraine didn’t even know that the money had been paused until shortly before it was released.
Ludicrous.
Blah blah blah
The “President’s” lawyers are a joke.
NEVERTHELESS, We are proceeding with high crimes and misdemeanor charges and contempt, and threatening witnesses. This impeachment will proceed. Don't confuse apples with oranges. Different cat. Carry on.
If Trump doesn't want to be shadowed, he should STOP DOING CRIMES.
Do Trump's lawyers even know what impeachment means? It won't overturn any election. My goodness, they'll say anything, won't they? And all the Trumpeters just believe whatever they are told.
_Politics Why don’t they defend his actions? 🤣
Will someone advise Trump's defense team that Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million people. She was the person actually voted to be president.
Of course people were watching. Trump's motormouth kept spouting hate and treason. The idiot didn't know when to shut up. Any sane person would have known he was not fit for the job. Since day one he has made a mockery of America. He is an embarrassment.
Life's too short. Enjoy your billions, your resorts, golf. You have revitized business. Hand that ball off to Pence and enjoy your life!
These are the people who will argue that Christianity and other such religions are God's continued PERSECUTION OF SATAN. People are not entitled to be warned about the Devil's ways.
Seeing how liberals were planning a Trump impeachment before the 2016 election that defense makes sense. Videos of Schiff claiming he's got the impeachment goods every other day for the last 3 years and Schiff's testimony under oath would seal the gop deal and convict Schiff.
They know he is guilty!
Well of course, since they actually don’t have any other defence against the allegations.
They need to show us facts. Dems have proved there case beyond talk sake. If president Trump and his cohorts want us to believe them we need facts .
The oft touted “will of the American people” was in fact a victory by 2.3 million votes, for Hillary Clinton. And even that result factored in Russia’s efforts on Trump’s behalf.
They're supposed to be presenting evidence of innocence not making childish empty threats. The integrity of the FBI remains intact in the context of this case, they believe in upholding the Constitution. Unlike these blow-hards.
_Politics I for one am looking forward to Monday. After the two hour ass kicking on Saturday, a glass of beer, a fat cigar, and round two will do nicely.
_Politics ...did, did they not get the memo that Trump lost the popular vote?
The Politburo has arrived in America, tovarisch
Careful there dude. May be stepping into a bottomless mud puddle.
So they are going to continue to lie and cover up, got it..thanks
Cheap shot. Is that the best they can do?
Well since Facts Testimony And Evidence Aren't allowed Good luck with that.
Those crook dims should revfund ourvtax money they havent did their jobs in 4 years wasting taxpayers money trying to brainwash the public for a dog n pony show . that aint right wen theres a homelesd epidemic and its causing unnecesary hate divided amonst the sheeple ppl. Stop
The facts state otherwise: Trump has clearly held the office of President for the past 3+ years. But, he has clearly overstepped the powers of that office and then some, imho.
So, distraction but no defense.
And exactly what was The President doing when he asked a foreign country to investigate an American? He wanted to keep his own hands clean so he solicited another country to do his dirty deed. No matter what these high paid defense lawyers say ... facts are facts.
I must've missed the astricks in the constitution where it says impeachment can only be used on non elected presidents
It’s true
Just here for the dem supporters assertions.
You have to be kidding, right? Nope! Associated Press (AP) is saying that 'Quid Pro Quo' Joe Biden's shielding of Hunter Biden is a 'false narrative'! .
Fair enough, what’s he waiting on? Get to it! Purge the FBI corruption and those involved.
Because that's true? I mean the Democrats have flat out said they don't want the American people to be able to choose.
Trump hired the lawyer that gave Epstein more time to abuse girls, and Ken Starr. That's all I need to know that he's guilty but knows he'll get away with it. 'Drain the swamp'...that's really funny now...
You mean they're focusing on the truth.
Except there was a report that identified shortcomings and no criminal activity by the FBI. Now Wray, appointed by Trump, is fixing the issues.
So I looks like to me that Trump should really resign before they dig up enough dirt to send him to prison for the rest of his natural life for crimes against the state!
We’re talking a full blown unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.
That's not a defense.
What hearing was you watching? Somewhere over the rainbow?
You forgot to mention 😄 they already took the Case apart like a cheap watch.
The election didn't call the Korean leader 'rocket man' or assassinate an Iranian general.
The world according to ....
So they have no defense.....
This is not refusing to accept the results of an election What that looks like is Rush Limbaugh saying, 'I hope he fails!' What that looks like is Mitch McConnell saying, 'The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.' 1/
There is no case the two articles,?
The defense so far has been to deflect but there has been no defense shown and the attorneys for trump give 2 hours of nothing why ? Because they have NO DEFENSE - is it ok to withhold side for personal gain? It it ok to categorically refuse to acknowledge oversight? No!
So they will stick to the truth and hard facts about realDonaldTrump and avoid personal dislikes and hyperbole like TheDemocrats managers did.
Case is over. In the first 40 minutes the facts destroyed Schiff's bullshit.
Why is AdamSchiff’s interview with IC IG Atkinson still not released?
_Politics Pelosi said this had been in the works for more than 2 1/2 years. Green said since before trump took office. So, yea...
I think we're using the term 'lawyer' way to literal with these mini quiche guzzling ass hats.
That is NO defense. If the Senators buy that, they should all be removed. And many will this November. McSally, Collins, Murkowski are history, just to name a few. McConnell may even be on the chopping block. The archaic policies of the GOP and its corruption will be gone!
In other words, Trump’s defense team knows he is guilty.
He's been committing crimes for 50 years, so not seeing their point.
Smart move
'We will not argue that the President did not obstruct Congress. We will not argue that the President did not illegally block aid to Ukraine. We will, instead, argue that people are being mean to him.'
Stop with the nonsense and start providing evidence that IMPOTUS acted legally. Show his innocence with facts, not just empty words. They can't come up with any legitimacy so they attack instead!
Those investigations that have “shadowed” this President are being revealed for what they were. Malevolent & weaponized abuses of power unleashed by the Obama White House on American citizens. And yet the AP wants us to believe it’s a legitimate centerpiece to base impeachment on
Trump’s band of lawyers should focus on defending their client based on the charges - saying the Dems are trying to undo the 2016 elections is BS but also a dangerous statement designed to incite the crazy Republican voters. Stop inciting violence!
All of it. Yep it’s all coming out. Looking forward to Monday and beyond.
So in order to shield himself, Trump is going to attack the FBI- who btw have already been investigated multiple times in various distraction attempts. Strong leaders defend their team. Trump uses his team as a human shield.
Democrats distracting *Remember Obama weaponized our intel agencies and invited foreign interference in to our elections in Hope's Democrats retain power. Police state tactics! America demands justice
FBI should just bloody arrest Trump and defence for obtructing justice
The FBI is, has always been and will always be corrupt.
He cheats in life He cheats in golf He cheats society He cheats in trials He cheats charities He cheats on his wife He cheats in business He cheats in elections He cheats on his taxes He cheats the American people Trump
So how was the FBI involved in Trump’s shakedown of Ukraine exactly? This is the everything except an actual defense of the charges, defense🙄
Hoax after hoax after hoax. Pathetic. The Dems are dragging our country into the next civil war.
_Politics Duh...they are right!
So, no defense then?
Except they had nothing to do with Ukraine. Damn old whistleblower.
To clarify—foreign saboteurs were the targets, not Trump, and our intelligence community tried to warn his campaign about potential subterfuge. It became clear that these targets were working with members of Trump’s campaign. Also, he is mob, always has been, always will be.
Everyone knows where the blame goes, waiting for the President's lawyers to bury this.
Listen to this people trumpsinner
You mean the investigation that yielded 36 indictments and 8 guilty pleas? The one that clearly stated Trump wasn't innocent? Those investigations?
That's exactly right.They are total fools
The investigations that have shadowed the president* because he continues to violate the law and the constitution:/
This is why he was elected!! We will not tolerate a corrupt government anymore! Clean up ur act congress TermLimitsforCongress
Weak argument lol
President Trump's defense team intends to place scrutiny on the fire alarm, not the arsonist.
_Politics
Democrats should concede. This week will not be good for them.
Lol. Well, they have to try something don't they? graspingatstraws
I’d place a few in prison also. Scrutiny is being way to nice
AmericansWantWitnesses AmericansWantWitnesses AmericansWantWitnesses AmericansWantWitnesses SenateGOP are a bunch of ComplicitCorruptGOP who are afraid of Presidementia. GrowAConscience
The American People have questions about JoeBiden and his son. What kind of dirt would Ukranian oligarchs have on Joe, and how might they use that to leverage the compliance of the US? I think we need to clear Joe of these malicious rumors. 🤔
We get it, America, our institutions, our diplomats, our war heros, all bad. Putin and Russia good.
SO, irrelevant to tRump's impeachment.
Follow me for cannabis updates
They should. Sham
Notice they aren’t bothering to argue that he didn’t do it.
We have heard it all before.
i just love this logic of 'he can't have committed crimes, he's been committing crimes all along!'
The 'overturn the election' line is such BS. *MIKE PENCE WOULD BECOME PRESIDENT, NOT A DEMOCRAT* and that would probably help the GOP's 2020 prospects immensely
Democrats have now made their compelling case & the public is with them (70%); but Republicans will refuse to hear from witnesses/Documents! I recommend the House now take up impeachment again & fight in Courts to force witness testimonies & wrap that around Republicans’ neck!
