Quote:Focus on what Trump did, Signym. Trump is charged with inciting the rioters during the Capitol insurrection that led to five deaths.

In a statement, Beutler reiterated that sharp words were exchanged between Trump and McCarthy which she said showed the former president's state of mind and that he had refused to call off the rioters.
"When McCarthy finally reached the president on January 6 and asked him to publicly and forcefully call off the riot, the president initially repeated the falsehood that it was Antifa that had breached the Capitol," she said.
"McCarthy refuted that and told the president that these were Trump supporters. That's when, according to McCarthy, the president said: 'Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are."

Trump's comment set off what Republican lawmakers familiar with the call described as a shouting match between the two men. A furious McCarthy told the then-President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump, "Who the f--k do you think you are talking to?" according to a Republican lawmaker familiar with the call.

As a prosecution manager, Rep. Ted Lieu of California, argued Thursday: "I'm not afraid of Donald Trump running again in four years. I'm afraid he's going to run again and lose." Lieu didn't say it but I will: And then Trump calls his supporters to D.C. in 4 years to "Stop the Steal" once again and pretends, again, the riot isn't his.

Quote:Whataboutism isn't a valid argument. Only a Russian troll who hates America would make the false claim that the defense said anything of value.

Trump and McCarthy SHOUTING Call During Capitol Siege: WHO THE F*** DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO?
Trump incited the mob, and reveled in the death and destruction he, personally, had caused.

His staff endured racist taunts. His voicemail overflowed with threats and wild conspiracy theories. And then one day, a caller warned that the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville "was a practice run for what was coming to our polling places."
The abuse and threats hurled at Fulton County, Georgia, Elections Director Richard Barron and his staff in Atlanta between last year's general election and the state's high-stakes Senate runoffs on January 5 marked a new low in his 21-year career working on elections.
Around the country, election supervisors and the rank-and-file workers who helped carry out the nuts and bolts of American democracy still are reeling from the barrage of threats and the flood of falsehoods they had to navigate as they helped a record number of people cast ballots in a pandemic.
The baseless claims of election fraud promoted by former President Donald Trump and his allies may have reached their deadly apogee on January 6, when a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol in an effort to stop the certification of the presidential contest. But election officials said they still are coping with the fallout weeks later -- as they face voters still skeptical of the results and new skirmishes with state lawmakers over how to run elections moving forward.
In Arizona -- where election officials in Phoenix saw nightly protests as they tallied votes last November -- members of the Republican-controlled Senate weighed contempt charges for members of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, on grounds that they had refused to comply with demands to hand over images of every mail-in ballot for review.
Some senators threatened board members with arrest.
In the end, the Senate voted against holding the Maricopa officials in contempt, with one GOP lawmaker, Sen. Paul Boyer, breaking with his caucus to block the effort.
President Joe Biden's win in populous Maricopa cemented his victory in Arizona, making him the first Democrat since Bill Clinton in 1996 to carry the state.
"Some of our voters are upset with us," Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates, one of four Republicans on the five-member board, told CNN. "They wanted to see us come out with a different decision when we certified the votes. But to me, there was no choice to make. I mean, the votes were cast. It was a fair election."
Maricopa County officials received death threats after certifying the results, Gates said.

Would their political choices be smart? No.

I can't bother to do any more than skim his bullshit these days.
If it is, I'll add it to the list and archive.

Nah...
That's pretty stupid, but it's not really archive material.

The First Amendment argument: This is the reddest herring of all.
Consider this scenario: A president, clad in full Ku Klux Klan regalia, summons cameras to the Oval Office, newly bedecked in swastikas, to announce that he believes the Constitution is a joke and that he will no longer follow it. Is his ability to make these outrageous statements or display the Nazi emblem fully protected by the First Amendment? Yes. Would it be entirely within Congress’s prerogative — indeed, its duty — to impeach him for it? You bet.
Trump lawyer Michael van der Veen had the nerve to denounce a letter from 144 First Amendment scholars dismissing Trump’s First Amendment argument as “legally frivolous” for being a “partisan” document. The letter was signed by, among other conservatives, Federalist Society founder Steven Calabresi.

The refusal to answer about what and when Trump knew about the insurrection:
This is a bizarre and particularly infuriating subset of the due process claim. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) asked a simple question, “Exactly when did President Trump learn of the breach of the Capitol, and what specific actions did he take to bring the rioting to an end, and when did he take them?” The response? Chutzpah, thy name is van der Veen. “The House managers have given us absolutely no evidence, one way or the other, on that question,” he blustered. “With the rush to bring this impeachment, there has been absolutely no investigation into that. And that is the problem with this entire proceeding. The House managers did zero investigation, and the American people deserve a lot better than coming in here with no evidence, hearsay on top of hearsay on top of reports that are hearsay. Due process is required here, and that was denied.”
Are you kidding me? His client refused the managers’ request to testify. And Trump is van der Veen’s client. Ask him, maybe?
When van der Veen offered information about Trump’s knowledge that day, in response to another question, from Collins and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), it was false. “At no point was the president informed the vice president was in any danger,” he asserted. “Because the House rushed through this impeachment in seven days with no evidence, there is nothing at all in the record on this point because the House failed to do even a minimum amount of due diligence.” But as Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) pointed out in another question, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has stated that he spoke with Trump at 2:15 p.m. on Jan. 6 and told the president that Vice President Mike Pence had just been evacuated from the Senate chamber. “I dispute the facts that are laid out in that question," van der Veen said, "and, unfortunately, we are not going to know the answer to the facts in this proceeding because the House did nothing to investigate what was going on.”

Too bad you've already posted that NO INVESTIGATION WAS EVER STATRTED, because now you can't demonstrate that we know for sure that the election was honest.
