President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial continues for a fourth day beginning at noon EST. House Democrats have concluded presenting their political evidence against Trump; his defense team now takes over, making the case for why he should be acquitted of the ridiculous charge of inciting insurrection in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

when do the posers vote.
They will vote when there is no political advantage in continuing. Some are estimating tomorrow or Sunday at the latest. The “wildcard” is if the Dems stick together and vote to hear from witnesses.
Won’t be tomorrow because at least one of the lawyers is Orthodox Jewish and already cleared it that he wouldn’t be there today at about 5:00 or all day tomorrow. With that it’s likely not to be Sunday either. So I’m expecting this to continue.
So all the MSM shows will be talking about the Defense over the weekend…. NOT!
And Monday is a legal holiday.
Senator Sasse in the DC office took my voicemail today… no one answered the phone. On Monday the aide didn’t give much information to me. I sure wish S(ass)e would listen to the people of our state and vote no on this ridiculous charge against Donald Trump.
Ben Sasse is one of the most arrogant POS I’ve ever seen in Congress, and that’s saying a lot. I hope hubris is his downfall.
Ever wonder whether those losers like Sasse, McConnell, and Lindsey ever check out the CTH website? Maybe they would find out what a lot of people really think about them.
All that matters is whether they get enough votes, legal or not.
He is now forever ‘hated’ here in Nebraska for the most part……I’m talking he reeks of CO 60….RADIOACTIVE….many counties already impeached him, state well on it’s way to following suit….
The only call I made to DC in which a live person who answered exhibited irritation with me was the male in Sasse’s office.
Please convict PDJT!!! Light the fire you Fckn punks!!! I want the water boiling so damn hot that we have no choice but to address you traitors. PLEASEE!
I think regardless of the outcome the only solution is with fire and boiling water.
Tar and feathers?
thermo nukes would be my choice. ten on DC. then one each on Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Eugene, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland (both), San Francisco, Seattle
I thought Chairman Xi might do the job for us or maybe Little Rocket Man but then realize why would they destroy what they wholly own?? TRUMP only can MAGA
I think that this has been a very interesting defense to listen to and watch.
While not going into all of the details of the voting fraud, which would have been very satisfying (to me!) they have not avoided it completely as an issue e.g. going over the call PDJT had with the Georgia crooked guy Neither have they described it as unreasonable theory to have.
I see that Mr. Van der Ween (?) has in the past described seeing himself as a ‘gun for hire’ – I like that.
It is a bit like an English barrister, such as the fictitious Rumpole, who only has reverence for the blindfolded lady justice – something sadly lacking in the US justice system these days.
That’s how good trial counsel rolls.
He and Schoen did well. Castor, not so much.
Questions.
Does this just mean lectures void of truth and facts?
Half right.
The House managers already have a list of the Dem questions, and have the answers already typed and ready to be read.
This whole “questions” portion is a waste of time and a rehash of what has already been said. They should just move on to the final vote!
Drag out the proceeding as long as possible so they can’t get to the Green New Deal legislation.
Yep, keep it going for about 2 years, bring all the affidavit witnesses to testify, dominion vote fraud experts and auditors, bring everyone to testify that was at the rally on 1/6, etc…..we could bottle neck bidens agenda in congress a long time and keep Trump in the headlines!
Reading prepared responses to questions means they already know the question ahead of time and is evidence that the “prosecution” is colluding with jurors.
Castro is trying not to cry.
He was skewered today.
He is a fraud!
Of course they are. This should come as no big surprise. You will see the same from the Defense side. This is not a trial. This is a circus.
Castro is a fraud. Adios, pendejo.
the way the world should work, is that if you are going get blamed for something, u might as well do it.
they impeach him for fighting like hell, we owe them a fight like hell.
I kind of think they are hoping for that though and hence why the troops are still there and the fence. Because if we do what the only remedy left for us, and try to re take our government, we will be labeled as domestic terrorists like they already are calling the supporters from Jan 6th.
So I don’t think we should do that at the moment anyway. Just my opinion though
over 4’years porpaganda hateful Democrats nothing been Done for country or for people But all thisTime
trying impeach A Great president Trump did so much for US,
hypocritical Democrats making me so sick and Real I hate those cowards,
MAGA 2024,
Is it just me or did Julian Castro have the question before it was asked because it looks fairly obvious that he is READING his response to the question not simply answering the question!!
And RINO sit silent!
Here we go again, another rehearsed and scripted response to a “spontaneous” question! Give me a break!!!!!
of course he did
I noticed that too. It certainly appeared that Castro read his answer word by word from a prepared statement. Why was he given the the question beforehand, meanwhile Trump’s defense team has to answer on the spot.
How convenient that Dem Senators are able to give their House colleagues the questions in advance, as occurred between Schumer and Julian Castro who’s reading his prepared, written response.
Narrative construction. Generate sound bites for MSM.
Delegate Plaskett is a disaster. She claimed she gained strength from hearing Dem politicians supporting BLM rioters!!!! What’ya know. President Trump should have run as a Democrat.
This is the kind of exposure Trump has been shooting for. This makes the politicians look like sh*t …democrats and republicans. The main thing to fix is the voter-fraud. Unless voter-fraud is no longer a factor, we can now have a Constitutional free Country…a Country of laws and not corruption and graft.
The one word to sum up the defense platform today: HYPOCRISY.
The accusers are accusing the 45th President of what they themselves have done since 2016, and what they did with particularly hateful fervor all summer long. The projection is off the charts.
President Trump emerges from this politically stronger than ever before. The Kingmaker for a generation. The GOP should be terrified at what is coming their way. The base is in full revolt against them now.
The Wharf Ratskin is really dispicable. No court would grant a hearing on evidence, stated dismissal for no cause…..that isn’t what our founders built, but here we are.
Politicians are lawyers who have lost the rigor and judgment that develops through actual practice of law. Just as they ‘re preening pretend actors, they are also pretend lawyers. These proceedings are perfect for them.
Another big waste of our time and money. I see chief justice Roberts still hasn’t arrived to preside.
They will fail on this impeachment and move on to an insurance policy. My best guess is a trumped up indictment for a manufactured crime.
“Proud boys beaten People with bats” People = Antifa.. makes that statement okay.
Antifa wasnt made in response to proud boys existing.. they were already punching women with babies in the face.
Proud boys was made to stop Antifa, cause Cops wouldnt, and when they did the DEMS were bailing them out to get into the fight again.
Plus the FBI undercover running the proud boys should be a gut punch to the Dems. Their evil group is basicallly the FBI
What the f**k am I watching?
Modern politics in practice.
the best you can get with Dominion. The BIG STEAL
Evil.
Back to your regularly scheduled BS. It as if the defense videos did not even exist.
this is playbook 101, pretend it didn’t exist…..mamet principle
these alinsky suckers need to pay for their evil. They make up BS 24/7 with no evidence
THeir rhetoric is dangerous.
Look at the precedents for impeachment they have set. An expanded court wouldn’t even require these shams.
Enough with the guilt by association……………when will the Trump legal team throw it back at Democrats = Biden and Antifa..
Are they stalling with the long break and now questions so Trump’s lawyer who is Jewish will not get to finish today?
“is there evidence President Trump Knew OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN that his anti-Semitic speech would incite the Proud Boys.”
This is so unhealthy for our country. This anti-Semitic narrative has been created by some Jewish people
Answer – his daughter and son in law are jewish , stop being anti semitic in attacking these jewish children
Answer to the idiot in the Senate chamber asking that question (clarification since you rock gsonFit -didnt want you to think that was addressed to you)
It is the Rothschilds, Whiteboard
were any of them in concentration camps?
They created the concentration camps. They had August Belmont contract the writing of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” They started by making loans to country’s to fight wars and requiring bond payoffs in the peace treaties. Loans to both sides of French Revolution and Napoleonic war.
Lionel Rothschild was written the Balfour declaration as trade for getting America into WWI
They Finance much of Fox news
What was “anti-Semitic”?
BTW, I am a supporter, usually, of Israel. I wish for them to thrive, but every criticism of it is not anti-Semitism and I get sick of that use of language.
I can dislike a Jewish person or poke fun or criticizes element of a population of people or their culture the way I can of Italians (I am Italian) w/out being anti-Semitic or anti-Italian.
Great comment. Connotation of hate is used to divide
Dem side has no shame since it’s just way too obvious that House managers were provided with the questions in advance.
I’m no longer watching, but I understand that some D just raised the issue of the courts ‘deciding’ all the election fraud cases against President Trump.
That’s it. The door is now open. Roll in all the evidence of the election fraud. The courts never adjudicated on any evidence.
the Dems can’t stop lying about everything. Ms Virgin Islands is droning on and on about the Proud boys…
Re The Proud Boys or other terrorists, President Trump did make a statement days before Jan. 6, telling such elements to stay away because the FBI would be there, and that these elements would not get away with their mayhem.
As it turned out, law enforcement colluded to allow the events of Jan 6 to play out to their political advantage.
The Q&A is a sham. Last time around, both sides could answers the same questions. This gives Dems an extra rebuttal session that the defense will not get. Repub Senators have to request defense have the opportunity to answer the same questions.
Try to direct you anger in a positive direction. We are going to win our country back. Dont get sucked into their division. That is their black magic and evil
The President had no jurisdiction in DC, or on the grounds of the Capitol, in order to quell a riot. That was a different jurisdiction.
BTW my comment above was to our fellow CTHers not you per se. I liked your comment and piggy backed off of it
Democrats are the most lethal projectionists on the planet! Everything sin they embrace, practice and idolize they accuse others of committing. They are the oppressors, liars, cheaters, fraudsters, homophobic, racist, sexist, etc. I cannot bear to witness their actions another day. It saddens me that we will never see their judgement day.
That is Evil
One Dem question about the “anti-Semitic Proud Boys” (the men-only drinking club) is yet another false smear. To answer the question the Dems sent out the
Thrilla from Manillapretend congresswoman from the Virgin Islands.She must be jewish
Never heard the Proud Boys described as anti-semitic. What’s that about?
The DEMS, on the other hand, are the MOST outright anti-semites ever – just listen to them- particularly the freak show, evil “squad”.
opportunity to link Antifa to the violence.
Every single one of those 100 senators doesn’t want Donald Trump to get the nomination in 4 years. They also don’t want him to be a kingmaker. They think they can achieve the first, fear they can’t achieve the second.
The Dems fear he would beat them were he to politically survive. Even if he didn’t run, they fear he could enter their state and beat them over the heads with his base and cause their opponent to win.
The GOP senators fall into two categories, those who want an easy, peaceful Senate life They wish to collect their gold coin and stay out of the spotlight. The other GOP category includes those few in the Senate who want the nomination in 4 years themselves or a chance at being the VP pick.
All Dems and All GOP in the Senate do NOT want an active Trump who controls anything. They’d love to convict. Dems are free to do it. GOP isn’t. Do it and feel the wrath of the base, and cause the death of the GOP at all levels. The highly arrogant like Sasse will do it anyway. Collins? Yeah, she probably will vote to convict. There are evidently few real conservatives left in Maine. Murkowski figures she can get away with it and if the GOP in AK buck her, she can run as a Dem. That’s where she wants to be anyway. Toomey, of course, nothing to lose. Burr, nothing to lose, Thune, Barasso, Cassidy, Lankford(would he dare?), Cornyn, Portman. And so on.
Big loss for most of them if they vote to convict. However, Turtle wants Trump blocked and he’ll try to find other means. He needs to block Trump even if POTUS doesn’t enter the arena as a candidate again as he’ll probably be a surrogate for DeSantis. BTW, so far I love DeSantis, but I hope we know enough about his foreign policy to know he’s MAGA.
I think when this ends as we hope it will, the Dems and maybe even the GOP (behind “friends”) will try to keep Donald Trump engaged with law suits and he’s at a disadvantage in not being able to sue an elected official for defamation.
Their bullshit Queen’s Colony is out of business anyway. That fence around capital hill is a big reason why these sick politicians are acting this way. No one will ever be the President of this shithole again. Especially not our fearless lion. damn them all
didn’t they already answer the when did the President know question already?
collusion.
and whores.
Lobbyist are the Representatives..
I don’t understand the attacks here on the architecture of the Capitol. President Trump made an EO stating that all Fed building in DC made to Neoclassical standards. President Trump would not agree with what some people posted here. President Trump is a builder and he respects everything about architecture of the Capitol and the art it contains. We need more of this and less of modern art and architecture.
Distraction.
There is an entire thread about this BS! See above!
murkowsli and collins got the same question the democrat duckworths have?
interesting. Recall both of them now.
they ask the same question twice now. Under this illegal hearing, 5th ammendment and presidenti privlege the timeline is clear, Setup by Nancy and Chuck, false flag to attack President Trump
She is lying.
She is a Whore for Bezos and Zuckerberg. she does whatever they say for money.
“Thousands of insurgents with weapons…” Can she just say that and get away with it?
until a Senator punches them in the face. … i assume you get immunity for punching someone in the face IF YOU ARE ON THE FLOOR to right?
Wasn’t there someone who just horsewhipped someone on the floor?
One of the biggest, most concocted lies in a long list of false accusations by their side. So much sensationalism, so absent of facts. Dims are embarrassing.
But they have the Mockingbird Media
That’s why we need to grow the Eagle Media.
They are most scared of our 80 million votes as weapons. They are pretty brazen in their desperation at this point. 3 impeachments in 245 years then 2 in 1 year. HMMMMMM
who said that?
The House delegate from the Virgin Islands.
That’s an obvious lie! Had this been true, perhaps we could have stopped this madness.
I thought the communications were not available to people who came for the speech.
How could President Trump communicate w/ them after the speech?
Castro looks like a toddler presenting his reading assignment. LOSER.
all of them are toddlers. FIRE CONGRESS. as in get rid of them and not burn them . Clarification in case i get impeaches and the dems are saying i used the word FIRE!
lobbyest write the laws! we no longer need this facade of Representatives – GET THEM THE FCK OUT HERE. Rule me like a King – so we can Geroge Washington the HEll out of you!
The House managers say that they know Donald Trump knew about the violence, but they never establish how they know he knew or when he knew it.
Their case consists solely of allegations based on hearsay, rumor, and innuendo, by anonymous sources reported in the media.
Facts don’t matter, it’s a Stalin show trial to appease the fascists that support demorats.
MSM programming
Not a lawyer but seems like they would have at least established DOJ/FBI were actually conducting an investigation
Just remember, Queen Nancy told them before the first Shampeachment that it was not there job to prove Trump’s guilt, it was Trump’s job to prove his innocence. Once a Socialist Communist always a Socialist Communist.
Presdient Trump’s lawyers were doing a very good job. I don’t know why they stopped when they did. They should have kept going, playing those videos all day.
Another HUGE mistake they made was not giving everyone a copy of that TIME magazine article where the Dems admitted that they rigged the election! WTF is wrong with these guys? It’s like they have a death wish or something.
They had two really good plays they could have made and instead, they just handed it back to the liars to continue with their BS.
Sad thing is President Trump ( I still consider him mine) has to pay his part in this circus while the republicans and democrats get a free ride at taxpayers expense. How much have we been scammed since 2016 by those elected officials who should be doing the bidding of the bosses (us)?
This is a joke/sham trial………..
Democrats are destroying our institutions in their lust for power.
They have already destroyed the FBI, DOJ and much of the DOD.
No Cuss, they are just nailing the coffin completely shut. They destroyed the institutions of the House and Senate with the first Shampeachment. This one just solidifies the notion by anyone with a functioning brain that these idiots were so determined to impeach Trump that they haven’t been able to do anything else. I guess the proof of that is the Joe Xiden is having to “rule” by Executive Order!
Antifa/BLM storms the White House, with Molotov cocktails, somewhere around 50 Secret Service are injured and President Trump has to be evacuated to a safe room.
THAT’S an insurrection.
And when the Secret Service took him to the bunker, the same people pushing for impeachment mocked him.
I’ve been making this exact same point since 1/6 – unfortunately it falls on deaf ears.
One question from a pair of RINOs, Romney & Colins:
“When President Trump sent the tweet at 2:24 pm regarding Vice President Pence, was he aware of the vice president had been removed from the Senate by secret service for his safety?”
Thanks for the dumb question senators; bless your hearts.
I do not hate ( or I try not to) but if I did … Romney would be at the top of the list. Adam Schiff too
ESTABLISHING TIMELINE.
No one knew anything. They jammed cell service and gps mapping in D,C. that day. Al;l down.
the demcrats don’t have an african American in the states? they have to go to the virgin islands? you know she is overworked and not interested in this BS
She’s now playing the race and sex card to excuse the left’s rioting.
I’m a little surprised and baffled that anyone here takes this seriously… as though a resounding defense is going to win anything. This is a stalinist show trial. It’s malevolent political theater. The Dems will get to claim that Trump was twice impeached with bipartisan support and that the republicans put “party over country” in refusing to remove a traitor.
Some say God sees everything, hears everything and knows everything that happens. We better hope He doesn’t see, hear or know about this “Impeachment Trial” or the planet Earth may very soon be hit with a very big asteroid.
Race.
Finally.
lmao
Here we go……………”racist”
Violence is ok if you are on a certain side.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley
Van der Veen was just asked a direct question from Collins for the timeline that I previously discussed. It was a huge blown opportunity. He could have referenced Sen. Lee’s statement that Trump did not appear to know the extent of the rioting shortly before 2:38. …
…Instead he complained about the due process. I get the point but he missed an opportunity to frame the issue for the Senate again. This is one of the most important issues and the defense gave little more than a shrug.
…This falls into the same mystifying category as answering a question from multiple senators with a monosyllabic response of “yes.” The House is using its time to score points and the defense looks that it has little patience for such inquiries.
Jonathan can message attorneys directly , no?
Maybe SentatorLee will respond?
Some attorneys can think on their feet. Others should stick to writing contracts.
