IMPEACHMENT
cover-up
Trump's lawyers have rightly noted that the Senate is the worldโs greatest deliberative body.
But they're not here to engage in deliberation. Instead, they've gone through a laundry list of conspiracy theories and grievances. And they're performing for an audience of oneโTrump.

IMPEACHMENT
๐National interest
Donald Trump must be convicted and removed from office.
Because he will always choose his own personal interest over our national interest.
Because in America, right matters. Truth matters.
If not, no Constitution can protect us.
If not, we are lost. pic.twitter.com/USfx6v9KsT
— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) January 24, 2020
and
Schiffโs closing, where he asked if senators had confidence that Trump would pick national interest over himself, was probably the most interesting moment so far of Dem arguments.
Chamber was dead silent and focused on him – didnโt see a single conversation on GOP side.

Think of it this way: Trump has been impeached. A healthy majority think he abused power and obstructed Congress. The trial is about whether Republican Senators want to be accomplices. It is they who are on trial.
