A review of Trump’s abominable lawyers in which the authors did not yet know about evident lies. Pretty damning stuff, even without that. https://t.co/rTZgUqOcOb — PolitiTweet.org

Looks like Trump’s BS-artist attorneys may have crossed the line from BS to something much more serious. https://t.co/Mh5uu1Dkj2 — PolitiTweet.org

House case alleged the rally had a purpose, hence its time, location and target. Trump team never addressed that. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Georgia? Is someone nervous about Georgia calls now? I wonder when, & on whose instruction, THAT got into the presentation. Seemed pretty obvious House used Georgia call as evidence of intent: Trump’s intent to disrupt his defeat, even ultimately with a mob at the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Do Trump’s lawyers really think the impeachment was over Trump using the word “fight”? And if you’re going to make charges of selective editing, does it make sense to do a mass video of selective editing? — PolitiTweet.org

My most prevalent feeling through Trump presentation: I am not the audience. Fox News/talk radio; Republican base/wavering Senators; Audience of One; but not me. — PolitiTweet.org

The fights you’re not sure you can win are often the most important ones, & leading rather than following public opinion can be our most important duty in politics. Never again should Democrats just walk away. Mistakes We Should Not Repeat: Part 4 ⬇️ https://t.co/Kf0ZNHr9NQ — PolitiTweet.org

I broke down the Republican talking points on impeachment being circulated by the RNC. They are… pretty exceptional, but they don’t stand supported by the law, by the bulk of American scholarship, and certainly not by the facts. https://t.co/3YpGH0h3EJ — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to joining @maddow on @MSNBC. I’ll be on around 9:30 tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

And we are living the Voltaire warning he quoted that “those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Trump’s lies the absurdity; Trump mob’s pillage the atrocity. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepRaskin rocked entire opening of Preamble by memory, followed by whole Paine summer soldiers/sunshine patriots riff. So cool to think of all the lonely tedious lectures that prepared him for that lectern for that moment. Cinderella stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

.@davidcicilline did another excellent job today. Very proud! They all did really well, this sometime lawyer thought. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the most jarring things I learned from the House Managers’ footage is how long the physical combat between these assailants and the Capitol police went on for. This was hours of steady, physical hand-to-hand combat with numerous injuries and several fatalities. — PolitiTweet.org

According to Republicans none of this matters, and it’s all about 10,000 temporary Keystone pipeline jobs. A world gone awry? Meh. https://t.co/hLVxnP6s3o — PolitiTweet.org

This partially obstructed screenshot of Republican talking points on impeachment demonstrates how low they will go to dodge the question of Trump’s guilt. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump-era EPA is what corruption looks like at an industrial scale. Now Biden has to build back better. Great article. https://t.co/Ego3N3Ieu0 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m staying up late tonight to join @MSNBC’s @TheLastWord with @Lawrence for his 10:00 pm show. You can probably guess what we’ll be discussing, tune in! — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
After a case presentation like the managers today have made, in trials the defense ordinarily starts asking now about a plea deal. But that presumes a real jury. In this trial, it’s not clear that proof of guilt will ever be enough for politically petrified colleagues. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
New footage from House Managers shows Officer Goodman not only diverting the mob away from the Senate floor, but also sprinting to save one of my colleagues. I am in wonder at his alertness and bravery. This could have been so much worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Rhode Island is lucky to have @davidcicilline. His presentation yesterday was clear, thoughtful and compelling. See for yourself ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Touching vignette: amidst ongoing “kaleidoscope of sadness, terror and violence,” a Capitol police officer repeatedly called racial slurs by Trump mob weeps — “Is this America?” — PolitiTweet.org

Nice work by @RepRaskin and team framing their case: Election Was Stolen, Stop The Steal, Fight Like Hell — structuring the long scheme leading up to January 6 in its logical segments in chronological order. Good presentation frame. — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t be so distracted by bad Trump lawyer performance that you overlook the terrible Trump case here. Defending the indefensible ain’t easy. — PolitiTweet.org

Dark money interests want to make unlimited anonymous spending a constitutional right, & Trump's Department of Justice predictably dove right in. We must change course, before special interests can lock in their dark money advantage & twist our institutions to the breaking point. — PolitiTweet.org

And @RepRaskin, closing, about his family in peril from the mob, sending farewell texts: “This cannot be our future.” — PolitiTweet.org

.@davidcicilline on “there cannot be unity without accountability”: “Is our attention span so short, our sense of duty so frail, our factional loyalty so all-consuming” as to dodge accountability? — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepJoeNeguse on creating impeachment exception for former officials: “it would put wrongdoers in charge of whether the Senate can try them.” — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent job, House Managers — lawyer to lawyer, well done. — PolitiTweet.org
