There is absolutely nothing in Cicilline’s remarks today that conflict with what Lee himself told his hometown paper. Lee’s righteous indignation at the end was a baseless stunt to disrupt what was a devastating day for Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Here’s the account @MikeLeeforUtah gave his local newspaper about intercepting a call from Trump meant for @SenTuberville during the insurrection. Not clear how this differs from the one offered today by House managers to which Lee vehemently objected. https://t.co/8VonmjfD9C — PolitiTweet.org

Untidy end to a very coherent day. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As you listen to this compelling @JoaquinCastrotx presentation, you have to remember that this trial is about whether Trump violated his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution—and whether he has forfeited his right to hold public office again. The case is strong. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Interesting how often the House managers are extolling Mike Pence for his fidelity to the Constitution under threat of death. No reverse shots but I can only imagine a lot of uncomfortable squirming on the @GOP side of the aisle. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“Donald Trump abdicated his duty to us all. We have to make this right. And you can make this right.” @davidcicilline just made a devastating presentation about Trump’s passivity and state of mind while the Capitol was under siege. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @DanaBashCNN: Eugene Goodman saved Mitt Romney's life. We did not know that until today. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Impossible to believe that as the Secret Service was evacuating Pence, Trump wasn’t informed. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Imagine if Trump had devoted as much energy and forethought to overturning COVID as he plainly did to overturning the election. — PolitiTweet.org

“And so they came. Draped in Trump flags and using the American flag to bludgeon.” —Rep. Dean — PolitiTweet.org

"The mob was fed lies. "They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government, which they did not like." —Sen. Mitch McConnell — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Many have suggested the senate, not Trump, is on trial. But the real question is who, in THEIR minds, are their jurors? History? The Constitution? Or the voters who sent them? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

You can see why 44 @GOP senators were eager to avoid this trial. It has to be uncomfortable to sit in silence and hear this case, mostly in Trump’s own words, knowing you are certain to acquit. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s worst problem? Videotape. — PolitiTweet.org

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

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

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

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
