Echoing language that was once frequently used by his client, Trump defense lawyer Michael Van der Veen blasted the Democrats' impeachment case against Trump as an"unjust and blatantly unconstitutional act of political vengeance" and a divisive"politically motivated witch hunt."And he repeatedly argued Trump was merely encouraging supporters to make sure their lawmakers were faithfully conducting a proper certification of the Electoral College Vote count.
He noted that in 2016 several Democratic House members raised objections to the results of Trump’s victory, including lead impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md. "Nobody in this chamber is anxious to have a primary challenge. That is one truism I think I can say with some certainty. But that's the way we operate in this country," Castor said.
At the start of the lengthy montage, Democratic senators in the chamber were mostly stone faced. But that changed quickly, as more clips played. There were constant murmurs in the chamber, lots of whispering, some laughing and note passing.
If he’s the president of law and order, then why did it take him so long to authorize the national troops and ask his supporters to stop the violence? Stop trying to change history.
I just love how Trump’s adoring supporters who fought in his name were thrown under the bus by the defense lawyers Trumpian style.. Trump had nothing to do with these thugs’ violent crimes. And they thought they were patriots. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, that's what the Germans said all these year ago. I bet his party will say : 'Wir haben es nicht gewußt ' in 4 years.
TrumpIsGuilty & so are all of them ....🤔😷😡 ImpeachmentTrial
Not 'ordinary political rhetoric' when the rioters arrested point a finger directly at Trump for their actions.
And they are ordinary shyster son of a bitches😁
Completely ordinary to hold 'Stop the Steal' rallies for your imaginary landslide win.
Nope. King Turd’s rhetoric began mid 2020 and created the f*ck storm on January 6
Trump has terrible lawyers. Full stop.
Didn't all of the protesters that got arrested say Trump told them to storm and break in to the Capitol Building? YES THEY WERE TOLD TO DO SO..
So when Trump told his crazed supporters to march on the Capitol on Jan 6th to 'Stop the steal' what were his intentions? And when they were ransacking the Capitol and injuring police officers, why did Trump sit for hours and say NOTHING?
Trump said on many occasions.. watch on jan 6 ... he knew and was complicit
by that logic, planning a bank robbery before the actual day of the robbery does not count, right?
Having a political rally in Washington 2 months after the election. Then, feeding the “stolen election” lie to a rabid crowd, and sending them to the Capitol just before the electoral college results were going to certify his defeat. That's proof enough for me.
lol
Really? And his famous phrase for dealing with women by grabbing their crotch, what was that?
