This is simple. I know you didn't watch any of the trial, I watched it all. But in short, In Schiff for brains fashion, he altered evidence like he did in the J6 show trial but even more, it took the prosecution I believe something like 23-26hrs to make their case while it only took the defense 12 to completely destroy it. It's that simple.
This is simple. You don't know whether I watched any of Trump's second impeachment trial in the Senate.
Senator Rand Paul forced a vote to dismiss the impeachment charge on the basis that it was unconstitutional which defeated in the 54-45 vote. Five Republicans sided with Democrats in that vote. Seven Republican senators joined all Democratic and independent senators in voting to convict Trump which fell short of the 2/3 Senate vote required by 10 votes.
Numerous prominent law firms had refused to represent Trump. Yes, the Senate trial was something of a clown show thanks to Trump and his attorneys. Trump, (the wannabee lawyer without a law degree but a lifetime of experience with the court system due to his endless lawsuits) initially hired Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier to represent him, but they quit along with three other lawyers after "the former president demanded the lawyers representing him to focus on his allegations of mass election fraud" and his false claim that "the election was stolen from him."
Trump's defense was led by Michael van der Veen,
a personal injury lawyer. Van der Veen's style and substance during the trial drew ridicule and criticism from many, with gasps and laughter in the Senate when he stated that he would seek to depose at least 100 people at his Philadelphia office, including Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris. When I watched his ridiculous performance, I laughed as well.
The reason Trump was acquitted is because Republicans were the Senate majority and because they were too wimpy to stand up for what was right by voting accordingly. Interestingly though, some Republicans have since spoken out against Trump and his actions on January 6th.
Senator Mitch McConnell stated, “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.” More recently he said, “The entire nation knows who is responsible for that day,” pointing the finger squarely at Trump in response to the House Jan. 6 committee referring four criminal charges against Trump to the Justice Department. One by one Republican leadership will reject Trump.
