McConnell's speech right now indignantly denouncing Trump for inciting the attack with his lies and false conspiracy theories makes his vote against conviction look even worse. — PolitiTweet.org

THIS JUST IN. My latest: With the 57-43 vote, the Senate produces the first bipartisan impeachment condemnation of a US president. But in voting to acquit Trump, the Senate GOPers indicted themselves and their party. Please read, RT, and share. https://t.co/nDnHjgLz0J — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepRaskin and his fellow managers have won the first bipartisan impeachment majority in US history. Trump is the first US president to be condemned this way. — PolitiTweet.org

A great moment for me was when I met Julian Bond, and he told me he appreciated my work. I was over the moon. I still cherish that. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepRaskin gets the very last word at #ImpeachmentTrial: "[Trump] tried to overturn the will of the people....He named the date He named the time. He brought them here. And now he must pay the price." https://t.co/1EEzl4HU30 — PolitiTweet.org

I've lost count of the many falsehoods van der Veen has slung. I can only imagine how he handles slip-and-fall cases. — PolitiTweet.org

And he claims the managers would be cited for fraud by a court in a regular case. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepRaskin: "This trial in the final analysis is not about Donald Trump. The country and the world know who Mr. Trump is. This trial is about who we are.” Especially the Republicans. #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/wbmQEo1tnB — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

.@RepRaskin citing a conversation with his daughter Hannah, notes, "the children of the insurrectionists—even the violent and dangerous one—they are our children too." And he quotes his late son Tommy: "It's hard to be human." #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/LFyjYrbOZm — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

A very moving close from @RepJoeNeguse that challenges Trump's team claim that impeachment was born of political "hatred" for Trump. No, he says, it is out of "love" for the country and fear that 1/6 "may just be the beginning." #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/yIXA94wrfE — PolitiTweet.org

Chaos is what happened on January 6. Chaos is what Trump took no fierce steps to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

.@RepJoeNeguse effectively arguing that impeachment is "separate and apart from the criminal justice system" given the immense powers of the presidency. The framers, he notes, did not leave judgment of presidential abuse to criminal prosecutors and courts. #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/UDrvZDsASy — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting perspective. But could the Dems have not forced a limited use of witnesses that would only cause a slight delay that would occur for a few days while Congress was already planning to be out of town? — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Isn't it the case that the framers did not envision a political system so fiercely defined by partisanship? — PolitiTweet.org

.@davidcicilline on the Trump team's claim that Trump never knew that Pence was in danger: "That is simply not true." #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/Mhx2aajdyE — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

.@RepRaskin demolished the Trump team contention that what Trump did during the attack has no bearing on whether he incited it. No, Raskin says, if an arsonist starts a fire, it is probative if he then threw gas on the flames. That shows his intent. https://t.co/DyhjzuENoP — PolitiTweet.org

No witnesses. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

As inflammatory as sending a murderous mob to the Capitol? This guy is something else. He took an oath to "do impartial justice." This ain't that. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

This is the oath @tedcruz took: "I solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: so help me God." Is this doing "impartial justice"? He broke his oath. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

And who asked them to come to Washington on January 6? — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

So perhaps no witnesses. Just an affidavit. And no dumb defense witness requests. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

When van der Veen is not lying to protect a president who incited a violent assault on the Capitol, he is encouraging Philadelphians to use him to file slip-and-fall cases due to icy sidewalks. Makes sense. Nothing but the best people. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

.@RonJohnsonWI took this oath: "I solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: so help me God." Sounds like he really took that oath seriously. — PolitiTweet.org
