At 36, @RepJoeNeguse is the youngest House impeachment manager in U.S. history. #risingstar — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Cassidy has six years until he faces voters again. So he has more flexibility to show courage than other institutional-minded Republicans, such as Jerry Moran and Roy Blunt. @pkcapitol notes that Cassidy just won his second term in Louisiana by 40 points in November, 59-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump was especially disappointed in the performance of his lawyer Bruce Castor, who gave a rambling argument, wore an ill-fitting suit and at one point praised the case presented by the Democratic House impeachment managers. https://t.co/AkGrf5OIiT — PolitiTweet.org

In case you missed Trump defense lawyer Bruce Castor’s rambling opening statement this afternoon, the @PostVideo team made a supercut with a few of the strangest moments. Via @RiegerReport: https://t.co/beT6zoFK4E — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell just voted (again) that the this trial is unconstitutional, which is rich because he’s the one who stopped the trial from beginning while Trump was still president. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) votes that the Trump trial IS constitutional. He voted for Rand Paul’s procedural motion. So that’s a significant change. — PolitiTweet.org

David Schoen is quoting a section from Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution,” even though co-lawyer Bruce Castor told us that it’s preposterous to consider such things just an hour ago. — PolitiTweet.org

David Schoen says he’s been talking to Ken Starr a lot this last week, which isn’t surprising. He adds that Chuck Cooper is a good guy but has an “animus” toward Trump. This appears to be a reference to the esteemed GOP lawyer’s representation of John Bolton and Jeff Sessions. — PolitiTweet.org

David Schoen is currently quoting from Judge Luttig’s op-ed for ⁦@PostOpinions⁩: A Senate impeachment trial after Trump leaves office would be unconstitutional. Read it here: https://t.co/vgMooi8lR6 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s lawyer made a good case for hearing from witnesses. So why won’t the former president testify in his defense then? — PolitiTweet.org

This is maybe the truest thing Trump’s lawyers have said this afternoon: “Words are what make up the Constitution.” — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Schoen is pretending like Trump would have welcomed witnesses and hearings and been happy if Chief Justice Roberts presided over this trial. But everyone knows that none of that is true. This isn’t on the level, but the point is to invent procedural excuses for Rs to not convict. — PolitiTweet.org
