He is now frustrated that the Congress bastards are so dishonest.
He seems to think this is a court of law where the rule of law and the rules of the court prevail.
WTF did nobody tell this dipshit to be ready for a shit show? He was in politics himself.
W.T.F.?
I disagree, his last statements at 5:11 are on point. They are there to answer the question from the impeachment papers. Did Trump incite the violence?
To add to my statement. He is doing what should happen in court. Those who bring charges are responsible to prove their case. Defense does not have to do the investigating or provide evidence. Only refute evidence that is used against the defendant.
They could show that the "insurrection" was planned several days before -- by members of ANTIFA.
They could show that Antifa members were arrested.
THAT would show it was not Trump supporters, and therefore that Trump could not and did not incite anything.
They could also show the Capitol police inviting people in.
There are a lot of things they could bring up, but they did not. Now, in Q&A they only have a few minutes to respond to questions. They can't show those things. They missed their opportunity.
I seriously doubt they missed any opportunity. We don't know the plan. If they didn't introduce any of that evidence, I have to assume that was a strategic decision. Not a failure.
Even if they convict, it doesn't matter.Fraud vitiates everything, remember? Maybe the big day will be the SC conference on the 19th. Or not. But no way the Trump team went through everything so far to fumble like idiots now or just give up.
I for one am keeping the faith!
I'm not sure if they were given time to gather information and verify it. They certainly aren't going to do something without proof.
They used Scavino's montage about so many people using the word "fight." They had 3 days to listen to the dems present their lies.
They could have EASILY used other videos showing there were peaceful people within the Capitol Building. They could have used videos and police reports showing that Antifa members were involved in violence. They could have shown the video of Antifa/BLM planning for weeks to infilatrate and commit violence.
They could have provided some evidence of the election fraud, since that is the ENTIRE CASE for the other side, claiming it was the reason Trump supporters were willing to engage in violence.
There is a lot they could do, but chose not to.
Whole heartedly agree with your assessment mag76. I am furious right now!
