McConnell could have also started the trial while Trump was still president, thus erasing the constitutional argument. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

McConnell says Trump is “practically and morally responsible” for the events of Jan. 6th—which is *quite literally* what this impeachment trial was about. Still, he voted “not guilty.” — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Burr had voted the trial unconstitutional. How he explains why he voted to convict anyway:”the Senate is an institution based on precedent, and given that the majority in the Senate voted to proceed with this trial, the question of constitutionality is now established precedent” — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Among the statements, Burr’s is most notable in my view because he says Trump violated his oath of office based on “what he did and by what he did not do.” In other words, acknowledging the managers case that his inaction was evidence of incitement. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

While obviously not enough to convict, the vote for conviction was the most bipartisan in history. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

In the end, SEVEN Republicans voted to convict: Burr Cassidy Collins Romney Murkowski Toomey Sasse — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Another GOP Senator to vote guilty: Toomey. (He’s also retiring) — PolitiTweet.org

More GOP votes for guilty: Murkowski, Romney, Sasse — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Wow, surprise vote: Burr votes guilty, the first GOP Senator to do so. He’s also retiring at the end of his term. Collins and Cassidy both vote guilty too. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

And yes the managers argued yesterday that inaction (+ lack of remorse) was evidence of incitement. I just wonder what if there had been an additional article more narrowly defined. I suppose they would make the constitutional argument at any rate. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

I do wonder what the vote would be if the House included an article of impeachment focused on Trump’s inaction during the riots. — PolitiTweet.org

"If I were the president's lawyers, I'd just rest the case right now," Sen. Ron Johnson told reporters, saying he doesn't have any questions for the QA portion. — PolitiTweet.org

"This is not whataboutism," Trump's defense says after playing montage of Democrats. "All robust speech should be protected." — PolitiTweet.org

The obvious difference here is that these words did not lead to an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

This is why the House managers spent yesterday establishing a pattern of behavior and incendiary rhetoric to show Jan 6th was not a one off event. Today, Trump's attorney's are trying to argue he didn't incite bad action that was already pre-planned. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Trump's defense team is trying to argue that people of "various different stripes and political persuasions" had "hijacked" Trump's stop the steal rally. Video clearly shows people wearing Trump hats and carrying Trump flags. — PolitiTweet.org

This montage from the defense team is playing like a campaign ad — PolitiTweet.org
