On Day 4 of Impeachment Deux Coup the TRE45ON defense will lay down, roll over, and play dead, because the GQP will acquit anyway. They have a maximum 16 hours, with no more than 8 hours on a given day.
The senate jurors who met with the defendant should be disqualified.

Today 15 Republican Senators couldn’t be bothered to show up at the trial to uphold our Constitution and defend Democracy. I believe I’m being kind when I say, fuck them!

Yesterday Recap
📝 House Managers focused on the damage done -physical, emotional, reputational- and the impact on costs to guard the Capitol ($400M+), imperiled national security, and diminished global standing to drive home their points. They emphasized the dire possibility of it happening again if going un-checked. The House did a superb job, but it won’t matter, because the GQP is a party of (mostly) morally bereft degenerates and there won’t be 17-18 Senators to convict.
📝 140 law enforcement officers were injured in the riots, some suffering permanent maiming (lost eye) or dismemberment (lost fingers)
🤡 Lankford, who was said to have teared up during video on Day 2, said Day 3 wasn’t compelling. Marshall said it was very political. Cruz, Graham, and Lee were seen meeting with Schoen after the hearings ended, because it’s totally normal for jurists and co-conspirators to meet with defense counsel.
