Today would be a good day to hold Trump accountable for the murderous and seditious attack on the Capitol *and* to send a message to future authoritarians that such conduct will lead to removal and/or disqualification. — PolitiTweet.org

If ⁦@GOPLeader⁩ truly cares about the nation and takes his oath of office seriously, he will put out a statement tonight truthfully detailing his conversation with Trump during the riot. The public deserves to know. https://t.co/vgEltijloK — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Call witnesses. Call Meadows, Oence, and McCarthy. The story is, no doubt, worse than we know. Trump was rooting for the violent rioters. Call witnesses. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenSchumer announces legislation to award Capitol Hill Police Officer Eugene Goodman the Congressional Gold Medal. Standing O. A fine moment. And a reminder of what was necessary to protect the Capitol from Trump's brownshirts. https://t.co/LH5Fot9rBr — PolitiTweet.org

This #ImpeachmentTrial is a serious matter with repercussions for the future of our republic. Still, it was refreshing to see this @RepRaskin zinger—spot-on and poignant. https://t.co/IUd4aKNHHI — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's lawyers could do the Aristocrats routine and win an acquittal. The jury is rigged. — PolitiTweet.org

And apparently, his own lawyers didn't even interview him about the basic facts of the case. — PolitiTweet.org

Still shaking my head over this. https://t.co/676HBP0sbQ — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Can you honestly say Trump, the commander-in-chief, did everything he could on 1/6 to stop the violence at the Capitol and protect his own vice president, the nation's lawmakers, their staffers, and the police officers being assaulted by a murderous mob? Answer that. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

One of the most stunning moments of the impeachment trial. Trump lawyer Michael Van der Veen was asked when Trump learned of the Capitol breach and what Trump did to stop the violence. He had no answer. Had he not asked his client about these basic facts? https://t.co/Ct9ngxbV4O — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Van der Veen: "The attack on the Capitol was pre-planned....It didn't have anything to do with Mr. Trump." Except Trump requested the mob come to Washington for a "wild" day, his pol. operation organized the rally & then he called for it to march on the Capitol. #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/QdaB9QKmRS — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

It's obvious that Trump was so obsessed with drafting exactly the right tweet telling his supporters to stop the violence & withdraw that he was too busy to receive the news Pence was in danger--or to ask about Pence. And it took him hours to compose that tweet. #ImpeachmentTrial — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Michael Van der Veen acts as if he had no access to the basic facts of the case. He could, uh, have asked his client. It seems he did not even bother to do the fundamental work of developing a timeline of 1/6 based on Trump's recollections. I think we know why. #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/mRuW9o5GMw — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Trump's lawyer, Michael Van der Veen was just asked part of the below. He could not answer. So Trump's attorney does not know basic facts of the case: when Trump learned of the breach and what he did in response. Incredible. #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/IdPtho1AtV — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Whoa. Trump lawyer Michael Van der Veen cannot answer the question from @SenatorCollins & @lisamurkowski asking when Trump first learned of the breach of the Capitol & what steps he took to stop the violence. He walks off without addressing this. So damning. #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/7fwVDM0Isl — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

So if a president sends an angry mob to the Capitol and isn't certain it will kill, that's an effective impeachment defense? — PolitiTweet.org
