CBS Local Affiliate picked up coverage for Castor's presentation. Hmm.
Did Trump's speech invite insurrection (or insurgency?) Or invite violence? Nope.
Nope. Insurrection would involve taking over TV stations, operating a shadow government, Etc. "We all know this isn't the case."
Trump is the most pro-police anti-mob President We be ever had. His supporters know & he himself had made it clear.
Politics has been interposed with hatred, and when this becomes part of the dynamic...
Phrase Castor hopes becomes part of the results of this unfortunate impeachment... "Political Hatred has no place in the American justice system and no place in the Congress of the US."
Video played contrasting Trump with Democrats. Anyone in the chamber disagree with Trump's words in that video?
Trump didn't invite violence because:
- His speech words,
- The timelines of 1-6-202, and
- Trump's love for Law and Order and hatred of Violence. (My thought here, I mean, 4 Peace Deals while in office!)
Brandenburg vs Ohio 3 Prongs: 1. Explicit or Implicit speech encourage violence or incites lawless action, 2. Intends speech to encourage violence or incite lawless action, and 3. Imminent use of Violence or lawless actions occurred must be as a result of the speech.
House Mgrs would have you believe Trump's followers obey his every word. But Trump's speech contained no instruction to violence.
Played video clip, "We are the real people that built this nation, not the ones that tear it down.". Could his words have been misunderstood ? Nope.
" in love and peace" was left out by House Mgrs.
Actual Trump tweets, not edited versions were shown.
Actual Timelines were shown. Shows the Capitol protesters did not even attend President Trump's speech. Indicates preplanning.
11:15am, Crowds forming at the Capitol. 1 hour before President Trump's speech.
12:49pm. First barriers pushed over.
1:09pm. US Capitol Plice call Sgt of Arms to call NG.
This timeline shows preplanning. Media reporters echo chamber of this. Catherine Herridge? Report of FBI warning thru JTTF structure. Explosives, pipe bombs, planted near Capitol the night before.
Nancy Pelosi called for 9-11 style commission.
GA Secretary of State Rofflensberger call secretly taped, publicly shared by others, not Trump. The word "Find" taken out of context...to mean Trump votes rather than invalid signatures. Presented facts related to the 2016 invalid signatures was a rate of 6.42%. In 2020, the invalid signature rate was 0.4%, despite the significant increase in uninitiated mail in ballots in Fulton County due to Covid elections process changes. Trump's "Find" quotes were all in the context of questioning why such a marked unexpected difference in the signature rejection percentages.
Quick wrap up of the defense case: Complete lack of evidence. House Democrats were seeking to eliminate a political opponent in Trump. Montage played. Their goal is to thwart the will of the people to chose their candidate.
"Senators, our country needs to get back to work. Instead of presenting further, we are relinquishing the remainder of our time...". So Senate can " get back to work on Covid Relief. "
No further defense.
