Day 14

1/ House impeachment managers accused Trump of whipping the crowd in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6 “into a frenzy” and then aiming them “like a loaded cannon” at the Capitol. In a memorandum filed ahead of Trump’s second impeachment trial, the House’s nine impeachment managers said Trump was “singularly responsible” for the riot, accusing him of “a betrayal of historic proportions.” They added: “Trump’s responsibility for the events of January 6 is unmistakable” and that his “abuse of office threatened and injured our democratic order” and “his conduct endangered the life of every single member of Congress, jeopardized the peaceful transition of power and line of succession, and compromised our national security.” (Washington Post / NPR / NBC News / Wall Street Journal / CNN / ABC News / CBS News)

There are plenty of video records of Trump repeating The Big Lie that prosecutors do not need his testimony; and those videos will make the entire GOP squirm. His attorneys will have a tough time keeping him off the stand.

With the event in the rear view mirror, GOP Senators will have to decide WHEN the former President’s challenges became insurrection. And you would have to hold your eyes and ears shut to not believe that rally wasn’t an attempt to either intimidate or overthrow a Constitutionally cemented process.
