Michael van der Veen begins Trump's defense: "The article of impeachment now before the Senate is an unjust and blatantly unconstitutional act of political vengeance" pic.twitter.com/xRaZHEPIaC

WATCH: Trump's defense plays nearly 10 minutes of clips showing Democrats using the word "fight," to defend Trump using the word "fight" about 20 times in his speech to supporters before the Capitol riot began https://t.co/YUg7sgxuDX pic.twitter.com/3eMNp7E2S2

watch this clip while reminding yourself that Trump's entire defense so far has been about whataboutism pic.twitter.com/39e6q1D1EE

Almost every leader calling for impeachment in Trump lawyers\u2019 video is Black, Jewish, Latinx or female.

Of course Trump's impeachment team is still trying to white wash his Charlottesville comments, even after half of his own administration denounced what he said. These battles will never be over. They will never stop trying to rewrite history.

Raskin prebutted this Trump defense: "As a matter of law, as a matter of logic, President Trump's brazen attempt to invoke the First Amendment now won't hold up in any way."

Um ... why are we talking about "Negro block voting...?"

Trump lawyer Michael T. van der Veen, speaking right now, once sued Trump, citing "an environment subject to repeated claims by President Donald J. Trump that voting by mail is ripe with fraud, despite having no evidence in support of these claims" https://t.co/2m9Nmb4TCn

Trump attorney van der Veen calls impeachment "constitutional cancel culture."

CLAIM: Trump lawyer Michael T. van der Veen said a member of Antifa was among the first to be arrested following the Capitol riot.
— Peter Alexander (@PeterAlexander) February 12, 2021
FACT: None of the criminal complaints yet filed accuse anyone with being with a follower of Antifa.

Well I can't say I saw this argument coming.

Note: Invoking Christianity/God was absolutely NOT synonymous w/peaceful behavior on Jan 6. On the contrary, SO MANY insurrectionists invoked faith while attacking the Capitol.

Blessed be the religion scholars for they are about to spontaneously combust.

Daher habe es keine Insurrection stattgefunden.
Tolles Schlussargument
Daraus folgt nach Castor: Insurrection nie strafbar. Cool.
Trump sei heimlich aufgenommen worden und deswegen hätte er im Raffensperger Anruf nicht zu Gewalt aufrufen können am 6. Januar.
Nein, ich bin nicht betrunken, das hat Castor wirklich so gesagt. Mit Absicht.
Lindsey Graham submits a question for Trump's defense just minutes after meeting with Trump's defense team in their conference room.

More from Politics
Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.
The strange thing about the fight to displace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House is that no one seems willing to run against her. https://t.co/VhBqf4KJom

I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.
But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.
Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.
I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.
