#2 Jamie Raskin, Lead Manager ... drafted the Article of Impeachment for "incitement of insurrection" along with two other managers while sheltering in place during the riot on January 6.

The riot wasn't even finished, but Raskin divined the cause.I hope he'll get a chance to explain how he figgered it out so quickly!

FBI report warned of ‘war’ at Capitol, contradicting claims there was no indication of looming violence

D’Antuono (FBI Field Office head) did not say what, if anything, the FBI or other agencies did differently as a result of that information. Nor did he explain why he told reporters on Friday that there had been no such intelligence.

"If anyone out there in teevee land knows the identify or whereabouts of the persons of interest in this photo, please contact the Boston FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) at the following number....."

#4 I understand there was traffic on Facebook days before the "insurrection", and if so, it would be rather difficult for Trump to have "incited" anything. Also, I believe Capitol Police were letting the demonstrators in even while Trump was talking. Come on, man.

#5 With these Dem managers, I sense they have a taste for a hanging in this Stalin show trial.

#6 Would I be labeled a conspiracy theorist if I suggested the recent capital building episode was scripted and funded by the Deep State ?

#7 A collection of imbeciles.

They didn't do any investigation, they didn't produce any admissible evidence that would withstand review - in other words, they didn't do their job to produce an "indictment" that a bill of Impeachment is supposed to be. They just slapped together innuendo and "news" reports that fall apart upon critical examination.

the whole thing is a farce. And its moot - Trump is already ofut of office. You cannot impreach someone who is not holding federal office. To do so violates Article 1, Sections 9 and 10, against legislative actions against citizens. And whether they like it or not, Trump is not a federal official anymore, so not eligible for impeachment, and as a private citizen, he is protected agains legislative judgment against him.

Trump should take this to the Supreme Court and get an injunction. Or if the GOP in Congress had any balls, they would take it to court for an injunction, and filibuster the hell out of it until they get a hearing.

If this does somehow actually got to a full "trial" the GOP should stand up and walk out en-masse, and simply vote "present" pointing out it is an illigetimate trial.

#9 Oh, please. A conspiracy theorist?
So last year. Acknowledge your error
And stay up to date
In your thinking... Too late,
You domestic conspiracy terrorist!
