In the month that has passed since the attack on the Capitol, the adrenaline has drained away, and much of the fear, anger, and grief has dulled. So the impeachment managers opened their presentation by displaying a thirteen-minute video to remind the senators of the timeline and intensity of the events of January 6. The video is a harsh, shocking, infuriating reminder of that dark day:
Raskin: "Trump may not know a lot about the framers, but they certainly knew a lot about him. Given the framers' intense focus on danger to elections & peaceful transfer of power, it's inconceivable they designed impeachment to be a dead letter in POTUS's final days in office." pic.twitter.com/LYxWL8rdt8

Neguse: "If Congress were just to stand completely aside in the face of such an extraordinary crime against the republic, it would invite future presidents to use their power without any fear of accountability." pic.twitter.com/Hg5eizXIx9

Neguse: "It's hard to imagine a clearer example of how POTUS could abuse his office, inciting violence against a coequal branch of govt while seeking to remain in power after losing an election... what our country experienced that day is the framers' worst nightmare come to life" pic.twitter.com/pCYwwtABHe

The Dem. House Managers need to bring witnesses; as reported: "White House staffers were visibly shaken by Trump's response to the mob breaching Capitol Hill. The President was borderline enthusiastic over the protests and did not want to condemn them, multiple people said."

It's worth recalling that Trump himself believes a former president can be impeached. https://t.co/jCysCFv1XR

Today would be a great day for the MSM to discover that the Republicans pretending to believe you can’t impeach a former president more or less invented that idea a few weeks ago to cover their asses and help Trump get away with it. It’s all made up.

"I guess if that chick I banged, who got pregnant who I had to give the abortion pill to, who almost bled to death shouldn't had a vagina."
