So the entire defense is just "He didn't explicitly say 'Attack the Capitol' and therefore isn't guilty for inciting," huh?

Also cancel culture and "don't you have something better to do?"

Uh, I am not a lawyer but I am very interested to hear an actual lawyer's take on this.

On a scale of 1 to Incredibly Stupid, how dumb is it that a lawyer representing Trump is doubling down on the Georgia fraud arguments while there's still a pending investigation and potential litigation?

The Legal Eagle on this is going to slap

Pretty excited to see his run down, but I suspect it might just be 15 seconds of facepalm end video.

"Trump is a godly man, a godly man would never incite violence" and "I don't watch the fake news media, I get my news from people on Facebook who were there"

The Republican callers are certainly plants, reading from scripts of talking points. The Democratic ones probably are, too.

I guess so. The CSpan anchor just said both sides have finished their statements and now they're going on to questions. They had all of tomorrow available, but I guess have decided not to use it.

I mean, they know the GOP Senators are not going to vote to convict, so they only had to make a token effort.

And why not go whole-hog on the fever dream horse poo poo Trump would say if he was there himself. It doesn't matter.

nicole wallace is talking about how GOP operatives told the media they would tell us about a "flurry of activity" trump did during the insurrection that'd prove he'd actually responded and they made literally no attempt to talk about it at all, actually hirono says she'd want to hear from relevant witnesses (not that i particularly think she speaks for the caucus or anything)

I mean he's lying but we already knew Republicans were just going to lie and use that unhinged flailing of a "defense" as cover, or just say "well the prosecution didn't do a good enough job" while distracting people from the burning tire fire that was the "defense"
