Nothing to the rumor that Lenny Bubolo, the Traffic Court King, will be joining the defense team for today’s senate trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Democracy’s message problem. Smart piece from former Rep. ⁦@SteveIsraelNY⁩. https://t.co/9eU0tubasK — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I don’t understand why people feel @POTUS needs to weigh in on the impeachment trial. He has no role. Better he should be doing what he was hired to, which is to snuff out the virus and get the economy moving again. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On the #AxeFiles, former @FBI acting director AndrewMcCabe talked about the impact on his life and family after finding himself in Trump’s crosshairs. Pod here👉https://t.co/lQkLjpxkks https://t.co/khMMM1wMfP — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

After hours of presentations and prayerful consideration, exactly one senator changed his mind about whether the trial should move forward. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is the sophistry on which 45 @GOP senators already have hung their hats. Not by defending the president but by arguing that he is no longer in office, thus rendering him beyond accountability by Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Seems paradoxical that Schoen reverentlally hoists a copy of the Constitution in defense of a former president who attempted to shred it by inciting an armed insurrection to overturn a lawful election. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Still. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I’m confused. Is he arguing about this impeachment or the last? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Schoen praises Pence’s adherence to the Constitution. Trump called Pence a coward. The crowd Trump incited wanted to hang him. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Schoen argues that to hold Trump accountable for the insurrection he incited would damage America’s image in the world. What does he believe Trump’s actions and the deadly ransacking of the U.S. Capitol that resulted did for America’s image in the world? — PolitiTweet.org

The shambling good cop sits down. The red meat guy takes the mic. — PolitiTweet.org

Not one single word so far defending Trump’s actions, words or behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Trump’s lawyer just noted that the American people just chose a new president. This must have come as disturbing news to his client. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What Castor is arguing-don’t impeach us or we will impeach you-basically asks senators to ignore the fact that Trump incited an unprecedented insurrection. His argument is mutually-assured destruction. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If I had this guy’s case, I’d be rambling incoherently to kill time, too. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Trump’s lawyer: “You’ll never hear anyone on President Trump’s legal team say anything other than what happened here that day should be denounced on the most vigorous terms.” Trump to 1/6 insurrectionists: “We love you. You’re very special.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The House presentation was very, very compelling. And this is just the preliminary round on constitutionality. Will or change minds in that chamber? No. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Powerful, moving summation by @RepRaskin. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The scenes are now familiar but the video is still chilling. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

One more impetus for a quick impeachment trial: senators are compelled to sit at their desks without speaking. It’s a unnatural act. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On @HacksOnTap, w/@murphymike & @amandacarpenter, we talked about Trump Team assertion that he had nothing to do with the acts “of a small group of criminals”—the same crew he called “special people” he “loved” as they ransacked the Capitol!

@buckleewood @murphymike @amandacarpenter @BulwarkOnline @GOP @JoeBiden @HacksOnTap Noted! Thanks for listening! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

...BUT though Trump will get a pass from fearful senators, a full airing of his role in one of the sorriest episodes in American history is worthy and important. He broke his oath. He incited a deadly insurrection. He tried to topple our democracy That story must be remembered. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Spoiler alert: The case against Trump is obvious and powerful yet few @GOP senators will risk the wrath of a base that remains loyal to him. So rather than defend his indefensible actions, they’ll call the trial “unconstitutional” and vote to acquit. That’s how it will end... — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Greene Achers! @murphymike, @amandacarpenter of @BulwarkOnline and I take on @GOP contortions in DC; Impeachment 2, The Sequel; AND @JoeBiden’s squeeze between reconciliation & a reconciliation package. All new @HacksonTap!! Pod here👉https://t.co/NhurolOZHS — PolitiTweet.org
