The IMPEACHMENT!

This guy, Schoen, lies!! Stated the House deliberately held the Impeachment articles so the Senate could not hold the trial before Jan 20th. And also to prevent Chief Justice to preside over trial.

No... Senate was on vacation, McConnell said wait. Roberts said no, too busy!!


He says Leahy has stated he will vote guilty. No fair.
.. How many Republicans have said they will vote not guilty!!

the trump lawyers are boring and they lie.. due process can come in the trail. bottom of the barrel..

Did I get this right Schoen said the process was too quick and then turned around and said it wasn't quick enough so that Trump would be president when it happened?

That's what I was wondering, too! ?

Also, does he seems to making the case that the democrats had last impeachment.  That you cannot properly have a trial without witnesses and testimony.

lol! how many times has he said 'lacking due process' or the phrase 'due process' now?  I just started watching again-- I couldn't listen to the rambling before.

and no, no, this does NOT violate the Constitution.  Did you not listen to the House Managers?  apparently not.

He was impeached as a sitting president. Move your long winded self on to something else.

I know why he holds his head when he drinks. He is Jewish and is 'holding' his yamaka.

A couple of minutes in I noticed his tongue, now I can’t look at him without seeing his snake-tongue constantly flicking along his lips.

Was he trying to cry at the end while reading the quote?

More info...I was not quite correct. Not familiar with Jewish rituals.

"According to Google, Castor is just 59 years old—a spring sloth, by the standards of the legal profession. But you might have thought he was a nonagenarian with declining mental acuity. He began anecdotes only to abandon them. He took meandering digressions—remember what a record player was? His allegories were hard to decipher. At one point early in the argument, he seemed to imply that Trump’s crimes were more akin to manslaughter than murder. (Agree!) He expressed outrage over the censure of Ben Sasse by the Nebraska GOP. (Also Agree!) but didn’t seem to understand why or by whom Sasse had been censured, bizarrely suggesting that the Nebraska judiciary had something to do with it.

Castor started one sentence by saying that he originally planned to use the phrase “release the whirlwind” but then realized it had already been taken. (Presumably someone warned him that it would sound too much like Sidney QAnon Powell’s “release the Kraken.”) Castor repeatedly spoke to his friend “Pat” (that is, Senator Toomey) off camera, making asides that he himself acknowledged weren’t to the point.

In the end Castor’s case for Trump might be generously described as follows:

Punting on the specifics of the constitutionality question that Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Col.) skillfully obliterated during the House managers’ presentation.
Lecturing the senators about comity and friendship.
Arguing that the voters already removed Trump from office (before the insurrection) despite the fact that the insurrection was premised on the Big Lie that Trump himself still maintains.
Reminding people repeatedly that he is pals with Pat Toomey.
Ignoring the merits of the case against Trump altogether.

And so, when you get right down to it, it really isn’t Bruce Castor’s fault, is it?

If Trump could be defended on the merits, he would be. And if he’d been a less dangerous demagogue, then he would have been able to get a better lawyer to take his case.

The reality is that almost none of Trump’s defenders are attempting to defend him on the merits. Marco Rubio is pretending to be upset that the Senate isn’t working on other things. Lindsey Graham and Sean Hannity are pretending that equally impeachable things were done by Eric Holder, Cory Booker, and Maxine Waters (just to pick three Democrats completely at random). Rob Portman says what Trump did was bad, just not bad enough to do anything about.

So what we have is an impeachment trial where both sides are more or less stipulating that Trump’s actions are indefensible. But Republicans can’t say that out loud, because they live in fear of their own voters."
