    For those interested in watching arguably the single best 100 seconds from Day One, I suggest watching the following: https://twitter.com/mmpadellan/status/1219807852698722304

    For those interested in reviewing the biggest takeaway from Day Two, I suggest reading the following:
    Cable News Pundits Fawn Over Adam Schiff’s ‘Amazing’ Impeachment Speech: ‘Very Powerful and Forceful’

    For those Interested in reviewing some of the biggest takeaways from Day Three, I humbly offer my take here: http://politicalforum.com/index.php...in-senate-day-3.567196/page-6#post-1071368071

    For those interested in some of the big takeaways from Schiff's closing, I suggest reading the following: http://www.politicalforum.com/index...continues-in-senate-day-4.567230/page-8#post-


    This is a thread for those watching the Fifth Day Day of the Impeachment Trial of Trump before the Senate. This will include the first day for the Trump Defense team to start their 24 hours of argument. It is supposed to be very short and basically be a "preview" of what's to come. If you are commenting, please provide enough information for those who are unable to watch to make their own decision regarding your opinion or to at least find the segment in the video for themselves.

    You can watch the Live Link here from the Washington Post:

    This should certainly be interesting, if not legally, factually, or ethically correct...

    I'll give it a solid hour, but my BS detector is on and set to receive...

    If Sekulow goes with what he previewed last night in the hallway, it will be going off very quickly.

    I'm sure they're saving Dershy for "prime time" on Monday.

    Good morning everyone. I like the start....Trump's team plans to respect everyone's time and doesn't feel obligated to grandstand for a full 24-hours.

    Ooops... he misstated the call "transcript"... does he not have a copy?

    Zelensky said 1000% the second time

    Having to generate new Republican primary ballots (for states where you are actually holding primaries) is not a convincing argument, my friend...

    Cippolone did more in 15 minutes then Schiff did in 24 hours. This is getting good.

    The raw amount of TDS it takes to sit and watch these hearings is bind boggling.

    LOL. I predicted the opening of the arguments. That's because that liar is low-hanging fruit.

    Damaging the credibility of the lead prosecutor is one of the key ways a defense attorney defends his client.

    Actually every trial. Even Mrtlegal will say this is a basic defense tactic. The liar just happens to make it really easy. And there's more contradictions live :D

    Maybe they shouldn't have submitted an incomplete record, or actually had the idiocy to make him the lead prosecutor lol.
