Bruce Castor says what happened on January 6th was not an insurrection. Webster defines an insurrection as “an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.” — PolitiTweet.org

CONFIRMED: A source close to House Managers tells me that David Schoen was not telling the truth when he said Trump’s lawyers had not been given the new video evidence of the Capitol attack. That person says trial rules required giving Trump lawyers the videos before the start. — PolitiTweet.org

Ending this thread w/ this: Overall reaction from Democrats and GOP to Trump's lawyers' video accusing Democrats and the media of hypocrisy was *laughter.* Democrats seemed to ridicule the video that featured their faces and music. Most in GOP seemed to laugh along w/ lawyers. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen Sanders said something to Sen Cardin audibly at one point. He looked quite annoyed. Sen Whitehouse audibly laughed to Sen Heinrich after his portion. Sen Warnock did not react as a clip of him was played but then turned to Sen Hassan & said something w/ a “c’mon” feel. — PolitiTweet.org

From @LisaDNews: At the end of the Trump lawyer video, when the video froze on Senator Blumenthal. He apparently raised both hands like “what, you’re not going to play my clip?” Many Dems looked and laughed with him. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Elizabeth Warren -- who was featured more I think than any other senator-- did not move as she sat facing the video and the extended “fight” cut of her from the Trump lawyer video. — PolitiTweet.org

One person who was not laughing or reacting to the Trump lawyers' extended video of Dems and reporters? Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. He sat stone-faced, legs crossed as the video was played. No laughing, no whispering, no looking around. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen Tester reacted audibly to being featured in the Trump lawyer video & chuckled at the end when he was quoted as saying he approved the message. Sen Booker on the other hand didn't seem to have a visible reaction to being featured & instead stared intently at the video. — PolitiTweet.org

During the spliced video featuring Sen Warren for a long while, Senator Tom Cotton in particular was laughing and shaking his head. Many Democrats were exchanging troubled looks including Sen Schumer who looked particularly troubled but also laughed and shook his head at times. — PolitiTweet.org

Out of the Senate chamber and my goodness that was something to witness. Senators (Dems and GOP) were louder than I have ever heard them -- talking and at times openly laughing -- during that long video played by David Schoen of Democrats, reporters & commentators saying "fight." — PolitiTweet.org

Going in the chamber to witness some of this in person. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael van der Veen is laying out a defense that sounds like it came straight from the playbook of former President Trump. He’s saying the real problem is both Democrats and the media and arguing President Trump is the real and biggest victim here. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael T. van der Veen, a lawyer for former President Trump, begins by laying out the core of the Trump defense. He says the trial is an "unconstitutional act" of "political vengeance" and a "political witch hunt." — PolitiTweet.org
