Trump lawyers presenting voluminous evidence to show politicians commonly use words like “fight” as a political metaphor — not a literal or legal exhortation to violence. — PolitiTweet.org

On a legal & constitutional level, the betrayal to defend the U.S., its Capitol, and his own VP is the most overwhelming case. The rally requires evidence on intent (where witnesses would help) And trying to steal the election carries the most criminal liability. — PolitiTweet.org

The managers are making an effective case that Trump committed *three* impeachable offenses: Trying to steal the election Rallying his supporters to march on and attack the Capitol Betraying his oath to protect the U.S. during and after his supporters' attack. — PolitiTweet.org

The managers’ evidence shows how some elected Republicans did initially suggest *Trump was responsible* for a deadly attack — call it the clarity of January 7 —then backtracked when their voters disagreed Sen. Mike Lee’s situation shows that dynamic (on a petty, miniature level) — PolitiTweet.org

How close was it? 5 people died. Today's evidence suggests it was close to many more. How close was it? Trump was quite late to shaking down officials to steal votes for him in MI, PA & GA -- a mildly more organized plot could have sparked a far deeper constitutional crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

The very blunt message to the senators here is that *they* escaped this MAGA violence for one reason — the police stood between them and Trump’s hardcore fans. Chilling. — PolitiTweet.org

The managers are using extensive evidence to argue that this core band of Trump supporters — the fans who responded to his call to come to D.C. — were anti-police, anti-American, and violently opposed to the U.S. government. — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump now holds the record for most impeachments ever — both for trying to abuse power to stop Joe Biden from replacing him, both plots that ultimately failed. https://t.co/JrfDYyUwQv — PolitiTweet.org

Trump tried to "steal" the election, repeatedly and in several states, in a criminal plot that was *always designed* to culminate by taking over Congress on Jan. 6. - This is the argument Dem managers are making now, arguing it was Trump's election plot that drove the attack. — PolitiTweet.org

Note impeachment managers title their evidence on Trump's words before the attack as the "Provocation" -- the exact word Sen. McConnell used when describing what Trump did to his supporters before the attack. "They were provoked by the President." — PolitiTweet.org
